Battery Bunnies of Washington

They are the Battery Bunnies of Washington. They just keep spending, and spending, and spending, and spending…

And who are these perpetual motion machines of big time giveaways? Who are these amazing marvels of money madness? Why, they are our own home-grown, made in USA, career politicians, that's who.

How do they manage it? How do these wondrous Battery Bunnies of incredible longevity manage to keep spending, and spending, and spending? With OPM, that's how.

Want a dam in your district? It's only OPM.

The big corporation isn't quite making it and needs a subsidy? It's only OPM.

Need a hospital in your district, so your big contributors can get the contracts? No problem! It's only OPM.

Who, me cut spending? Not me, its only OPM.

Ahhhh — I'll bet you've guessed it. OPM is other people's money.

The battery in the back of each of these careerist reelection rabbits is OPM. It never runs down, because they only go out and borrow more. Or get a contribution from their favorite lobbyist. The drums they beat are for their own reelection.

One other thing. The money you send to Washington out of your paycheck each week? Thaaat's right — to those guys it's OPM.

They know they can raise your taxes again and get more. They know they can mortgage your children's future with a crushing national debt.

Who cares? They don't, so long as they can stay in office. After all, it's only OPM.

They haven't cut spending in years. And years. They just keep spending, and spending, and spending. It's only OPM.

Citizens for Term Limits believes that the only solution for this fiscal folly is limited terms. Term limits will replace members of Congress who put their own job security and endless spending ahead of the country's future, with citizen legislators who will behave more prudently, because they will have only a limited time in which to serve the country, then return home to live among their neighbors under the laws they have just passed.
