SAD, BUT TRUE!

THE SOCIALISTS 23rd PSALM

The Government is my shepherd;
Therefore, I need not work;
It allows me to lie down on a good job;
It leads me besides the still factories.
It destroys my initiative;
It leads me in the path of a parasite for politics's sake.
Yea, though I walk through the valley of laziness and deficit spending;
I fear no evil, for the Government is with me;
It preparest an economic utopia for me;
By appropriating the earnings of my own grandchildren.
It fills my head with false security;
My inefficiency runneth over.
Surely the Government should care for me all the days of my life;
And I shall live forever in a fool's paradise.

Doris Parker Comments: Somehow even though many complain about the government taking  care of everyone's needs or greeds, in some cases, I have the feeling when it gets down to the nitty gritty and the government starts to stop a lot of the programs many that hollered for cutting will say that they didn't mean what they get from the government. Like Social Security that is the only source they have to live on. Military retirement pay, Civil Service Retirement pay. SSI for those that have no form of retirement as well as indigent veterans Old people that are in Rest Homes. Medicare.

 A lot of these programs I have heard many say more and more lately  that people have already gotten far more than they have ever paid into them as well as the interest that they would have gotten if they had put that money somewhere to draw interest from. It's a sad fact that when cutting starts, as it will have to because of someone having spent a lot of money in the past two years that cuts will be coming and they will hurt many that aren't expecting it to be at their door.
