Tis the Season?

Christmas Tree Oh Christmas Tree: A New Record for DC Cynicism?
“As Thomas Jefferson put it 200 years ago, the price of liberty is eternal vigilance. Right now is a good time to pay that price. Don't let the ultimate cynics in DC get their way: When leaders like Senator Warren ring the alarm, we all better answer.

"In token of the season, just to help you remember, here's this year's American Family Voices version of O Christmas Tree:
Oh, G-O-P, these Christmas trees,
are gifts you're soon exchanging
Down on Wall Street, these Christmas trees,
are gifts you're soon exchanging.
Lots of green when campaigns are here,
Also at budget time of year.
Oh, G-O-P, these Christmas trees,
on must-pass bills for spending.
Oh, G-O-P, these Christmas trees,
Take down the C-F-P-B.
Down on Wall Street, these Christmas trees,
Relax rules at S-E-C.
For every year these Christmas trees,
Bring bankers such joy and glee.
Down on Wall Street, these Christmas trees,
Such profits do they bring thee!
Oh, G-O-P, these Christmas trees,
reforms you're soon upending.
A symbol of your Big Bank love,
reforms you're soon upending.
Each spending fight,
Each budget bill,
Lobbyists take Capitol Hill
Oh, G-O-P, these Christmas trees,
are gifts you're soon exchanging.”
