Train without break
Train without break is like
No stopping self-immolaion.
Passenger fare hike
Is not a way of reform
And no a welfare mode
of the public emotion.

Now the proposal is yet again another $150 billion before we start to think about a freeze. But $150 billion spent on more government programs; monies being created to direct and what kind of jobs that Washington thinks ought to be created. Come on. I mean there is a government that can help, and the government can also hurt.
