the tariff blues as sung by american farmers


old mcdonald had a farm in ohio
and the grand republican tea party
has drained all the profit from his crops
by putting high-jinks tariffs on chinese mops

no need to read ben franklin's almanac
the forecast is clear - bankruptcy filings
tractors hauled away by john deer's bankers
monsanto soy bean seeds rotting in the barn

"what's got your knickers in a knot, uncle mac?
can't you exfoliate your arm pits any more?
go check out what the apaches have to say
about treaties, ethanol, and peace pipes

snide remarks about what the gop has done
to american farmers are echoing in congress

$16 billion of hand-outs
provided by hard-working tax payers

is going to farmers who've never been on
the dole or collected welfare coupons

these straw hat folks voted for tea party
gangsters and thieves in 2016

BASIC MATH

there are about 2 million farms in the usa
so each farm will get about 8000 bucks
that's $666 per month
can it get any more symbolic?

go pepe...



Exodus 8:5

And the Lord spake unto Moses,
Say unto Aaron,
Stretch forth thine hand
with thy rod over the streams,
over the rivers, and over the ponds,
and cause frogs to come up
upon the land of Egypt.
