President’s budget shows government growth

President Obama has announced a record $3.8 trillion budget that includes money for roads and schools; some belt-tightening for the war machine; plus higher taxes on the wealthy. Republicans accuse the president of failing to deal with deficits.



         Spending Unveiled

Obama’s budget – a record high,
May see opponents’ mouths go dry;
Three-point-eight trillion strong
The GOP thinks something’s wrong.

To take a look at what it’s for,
Despite some cuts for stuff like war,
There are other things for which it bodes,
Like money for our schools and roads.

Republicans may see a glitch
In tax increases for the rich.
Seeing all that money flowing,
Indicates the gov’ment’s growing.
