(A friend suggested this be read in Gene Wilder’s voice as Willy Wonka.)
And so we have the debt ceiling
and I have a sinking feeling
that when politicians are dealing
with our economy keeling
they aren’t concerned with healing
or egos humbly kneeling
or layers of corruption peeling
or deal-sealing
or politically yielding
to stop our economy from reeling
In fact, “they” don’t seem to be concerned with “us”
at all

Mitch McConnell –
You were elected to serve the people who live in this nation. You were entrusted with great power, and with great responsibility. People are trusting you to do the right thing – to put the well-being, rights, and prosperity of the people you were elected to serve ahead of politics. End this government shut down. Put the bill that the House just passed that would end the shutdown (the same bill the Senate approved unanimously a few weeks ago) in front of the Senate for another vote and get our government running again. It’s time to stop holding the lives of the American people hostage.
Sincerely,
Karen Molenaar Terrell
