Look Who's Lurking in the Shadows: The Budget Cutter! He’s creeping down the halls of Washington and your state capital at this very second. He seeks to slash the budget for those who can least afford it. He claims to be saving money at the same time that he is turning his back on mountains of debt. When the time comes to show his backbone with budget cuts, he attacks the weakest and the poorest among us. The first on the chopping block will be poor single mothers and their children. They are the weakest. But, as every bully knows, there is great sadistic pleasure in attacking the weakest among us. Food stamps, PELL grants, and Medicaid: TAKE THAT! Foster Care, energy assistance, and childcare: he will lay your throat open and laugh as you bleed to death. What’s that? There are bigger budget hogs that are left unscathed? The military, corporate welfare, energy industry subsidies: these are all far too powerful for a coward like the Budget-Cutter to attack. These budget hogs vote and even more important they write big checks. They own the budget-cutter and to attack them would surely mean suicide. The budget cutter knows no national allegiance or party loyalty. They exist only to attack the weakest and poorest among us. Their only goal is to survive to slash again.

Ah, C'mon, you know this is a Republican. Why can't you admit it? KW |
|
| I admit no such thing. I will admit that the GOP does this with regularity, but they aren't the only ones. As long as money is king in politics, the Budget-Cutter with thrive. | |

Somehow creepy and cute at the same time. Did you use Bill Frist as a model? OA |
|
| No, if you must know, this was inspired by EC comics. It is meant to be any politician who is in power and beholden to the moneyed interest that own them. Frist fits but I could think of a few hundred others. | |
| I'm suggesting that peace is cheaper than invading a country on false premises. I would hope that we would spend our money to help injured veterans instead of creating more of them to save the President's ego. | |

Gee, I guess I forgot how helping the poor is anti-Christian. Note to self: get a newer edition of the bible. Apparently there have been lots of re-writes since the neo-cons took over. |

In my state, drivers of giant gas guzzling SUVs are exempted from the same pollution test that the rest of us have to pass in order to stay on the road. I had one wealthy friend tell me that he was actually making money by buying the 7 MPG behemoth. He laughed as he called his latest vehicle a "profit center". Yes, I think the government gives far too many advantage to the wealthiest among us. |
