(151 posts)22. Cabal
There once were some schemers, no soul,
Who grinned as they dug at the whole.
Cut SNAP, they would cheer,
With chaos sincere,
Then watched while the safety nets stole.
A cabal with smiles of disguise,
Made promises laced with plain lies.
In talks theyd agree,
But take, then theyd flee
Bad-faith been their proudest surprise.
Theyve marked every program for doom,
And whisper reform in a room.
Project 2025s map
Is a paper-cut trap
So hope becomes harder to bloom.
Step one: delete a few halls,
Step two: tear the programs and walls.
Tariffs stack up the till,
Cryptos mixed in the till,
While safety net curtains take falls.
Theyll mix public gold with a coin,
Say its modern! as budgets purloin.
Comingle and hide,
Let the market decide
While mothers and workers rejoin (in scorn).
Give breaks to the rich with a grin,
Let the oligarch chorus begin.
Theyll pocket a crown,
Push the commoners down,
And toast as the gutters fill in.
Becoming trillionaires dream,
A laugh on a ledgerless scheme.
They dance to the bank,
We patch up the tank
And fury brews under the steam.
So eye them with caution, not trust;
Bad faith runs through plans like a rust.
If we want to survive,
We must speak and well strive
Protect the small things that matteradjust.

I kept warning about this plan. People kept telling me Trump was too stupid to pull it off.

It would not be surprising of the reserve funds for SNAP have already found a new home
