The Federal Government has expanded to the point where it will soon capsize the country. Federal employee unions have grown massively in numbers and power in recent years, and are the principal reason the Democrats win any elections at all. And for that reason the Democrats must continue to feed the monster, even as it threatens to consume us all. Under the past two years of the Obama administration, the number of Federal employees increased by 137,000, at a time the private sector lost millions of jobs and the unemployment rate was approaching ten percent. President Obama recently ordered a two year pay freeze on government employees, a mostly symbolic act, for the freeze will realize 28 billion dollars in savings over the two years, or a six-tenths of one percent reduction in the projected national debt of 4.52 TRILLION over the same period. There is a freeze coming, and it will affect all of us, not just federal employees. And the big problem with freezes is that freezes turn the gentle snow into treacherous ice.
Dense packed snow will turn to ice
As quickly as you please
Long time no raise will not be nice
Because of two year freeze
But think about the upside now
Forget the lefty shouts
We’ve got to get rid of somehow
Those bureaucratic louts
Who sit all day and dream of ways
To make life worse for all
Now we can sit and count the days
Before the blessed fall
Of bloated government and yes
Of bloated unions too
The Tea Parties will clean the mess
And turn Reds white and blue
