There's a fiscal cliff
They're rushing towards it
They'll be no more benefits
Just loads of tax hikes
They've got to get together
To sort it out forever
Put politics behind
Focus on what's right
Do they have a clue
All that is at stake?
Not just for the US
But for all of us today
Please take it seriously
Sort out all your policies
Support the really poor and
Ignore the power houses
See the cliff ahead
Build a bridge instead
We're all looking at you
Please be careful what you do
See the cliff ahead

Powerful words... I hope it happens. Happy New Year, Emma!
unfortunately, most policymakers, around the world, have a knack for betraying a our hopes.here's to the hope of a much needed change.
ReplyDeleteInteresting how the "solution" is always to tax the poor and how opposed they are to having the rich pay their fair share. Sigh. Argh. I wish so much they would build that bridge - and they'd better hurry up!
ReplyDeleteI heard on the news today that the US could be facing another recession - not good news for the new year.
ReplyDeleteI wish for more bridges instead of cliffs ~
ReplyDeleteWishing you Happy New Year ~
What can we expect? We elect RICH men to office, then they look out for guess who Rich men!! I'm with you ... we need a bridge! Nice write! Happy new year!
ReplyDeleteif only they would heed your words, Emma!
ReplyDeleteHappy Happy New Year!

Irritating....I'll supply some labor to build that bridge...heavens sake. Loved the thought and the execution. Good work.
