First you take from the poor:
quote:
The bill, passed 217-215 after a 25-minute-long roll call, makes modest but politically painful cuts across an array of programs for the poor, students and farmers.
And give to the rich:
quote:
The House later today may consider a tax cut worth $56.6 billion over five years, the bulk of which comes from extending the 15 percent rate on dividends and capital gains, which is due to expire in 2008. The Senate assigns most of its tax reductions to preventing the alternative minimum tax from denying popular exemptions, deductions, and tax credits to families with incomes as low as $75,000
So overall it works out like this:
quote:
The House passed $50 billion in budget savings and the Senate agreed to $60 billion worth of tax cuts.
Super! This should clear up the deficit in no time.

And so you won't forget again, here's the entire bunch. (And hand over the Lupins!)
Dennis Moore, Dennis Moore,
galloping through the sward,
Dennis Moore, Dennis Moore,
and his horse Concorde.
He steals from the rich,
he gives to the poor,
Mr Moore, Mr Moore, Mr Moore.
Dennis Moore, Dennis Moore,
Riding through the night.
Soon every lupin in the land
Will be in his mighty hand
He steals them from the rich
And gives them to the poor
Mr Moore, Mr Moore, Mr Moore.
Dennis Moore, Dennis Moore,
Dumdum alum the night.
Dennis Moore, Dennis Moore,
Dun de dun dum plight.
He steals dumdum dun
And dumdum dum dee
Dennis dun, Dennis dee, dum dum dum.
Dennis Moore, Dennis Moore,
Riding through the woods.
Dennis Moore, Dennis Moore
With a bag of things.
He gives to the poor and he takes from the rich
Dennis Moore, Dennis Moore, Dennis Moore.
Dennis Moore, Dennis Moore
Etcetera, etcetera...
Dennis Moore, Dennis Moore
Riding through the land
Dennis Moore, Dennis Moore
Without a merry band
