SNIP SNIP - Congress Cuts to Medicaid & Snap - Don Caron - Parody Project




The bill features cuts to Medicaid and SNAP and 14 million individuals may lose health coverage, while 3 million households may go without food assistance, according to Accountable.US, a nonpartisan watchdog group.
And, of course, there are also the extended tax cuts for the ultra-wealthy and a lot more funding for immigration arrests and deportations.


Executive Producers Don Caron and Jerry Pender

LYRICS

SNIP SNIP


They gathered round in suits of gray.
Said, “We’ve got a plan to save the day.”
We’ll cut the crumbs from the little hands
And line the pockets of the richest land

Snip snip the safety net
For kids who ain’t got shoes just yet
Trim the fat so the top can feast
The rest can pray for a little piece

They called it smart, they called it bold
While the poor stay sick and the young grow old
A bill so big it can barely fit
But only helps those swimming in it

Snip snip the safety net
For kids who ain’t got shoes just yet
Trim the fat so the top can feast
The rest can pray for a little piece

The yachts get bigger the schools get small
The healthcare lines stretch down the hall
But don’t you worry, don’t you cry
The billionaires will reach the sky

So here’s the deal they’re cutting through
The lifelines stitched for me and you
They call it freedom, they call it pride
While the weak get swept to the other side

Medicare will never be for all
The richest climb 'til it's time to fall
Everything won't ever be enough
And they'll die like you, with all their stuff

Snip snip the safety net
For kids who ain’t got shoes just yet
Trim the fat so the top can feast
The rest can pray for a little piece
