My funny valentine

It’s Valentine’s Day and we here in the ever-imaginative Democratic Whip Press Shop are in the holiday spirit! On a day about celebrating the one you love, it’s hard not to think of the most faithful relationship of all: Republican leaders and their wealthy donors, especially after Republicans added $1.5 trillion to the deficit to give them enormous tax breaks. Romantic, right?

TO- GOP Donors
FROM- Republican Leadership

Roses are red;
So is our budget.
No need for math;
We’ll simply fudge it.


Our donors adore us
With unbridled affection:
We gave them huge tax cuts
Over public objection.
 

Large deficits... Please!
We don’t care about debt.
Our children will pay it -
No worry! No sweat!


This Valentine’s Day,
Let’s show who we love:
Not the workers or families
But the wealthy above.


So kisses and hugs
And tax breaks a-plenty,
To our Valentine sweethearts:
The enormously wealthy.
