“If it moves, tax it. If it keeps moving, regulate it. And if it stops moving, subsidize it.”
-Ronald Reagan quote on government tendency
Welcome studs and fillies to the DOGE Barn, where you are in for a dancing treat. Your admission fee paid all expenses for barn rental, refreshments, and talent. Nothing was used from any USAID funds. Tonight, our guest Square Dance Caller is none other than Elon Musk’s cousin. His name is Husk Musk, and he hails from the great state of Nebraska. Tonight’s band is an up-and-coming country act that has gotten attention everywhere they’ve played. Please welcome Lonny Layoff and the Slashers. Now everyone mosey to the dance floor.
Husk Musk:
Take your partner here we go, let’s cut waste with the DOGE Do-si-do.
Circle left and move with haste, let’s shrink the government’s spending and waste.
Now spin around tight and fast, what State and Local cuts can be made to last?
(Couples face corners)
Back to your corners and shake a leg, no time to sneeze or cough.
Clap and stomp one and all, State wasted money from the Fed’s Covid trough.
Now swing your partner like she’s a porcelain doll, and don’t you labor.
State Progressives thirst for taxes and fees, and want to bury TABOR.
(Partner trade)
Square through four watch for chickens, and go right round and round.
Climate change, Health and Welfare programs, driving budget into the ground.
Do a partner trade fast as a wink, with a flair and giddy-up that’s fine.
Prioritize down and out Veterans and citizens, to the front of the line.
(Grand right and left)
Lift your partner like a baby in a cradle, don’t drop her tarry or tattle.
Program to reintroduce wolves, more important than ranchers or cattle.
Grand right and left you know one from the other, spin around and clear.
Colorado taxpayers on the hook for inmate calls, $5 million a year.
(Ladies Chain)
Four ladies chain to show your stuff, grab tight and watch your nails.
Colorado roads being ignored and need fixin, are worse than goat trails.
Square your set and don’t you fret, tonight’s hoe down has no pretension.
Downtown Denver is a risky visit, it could use an intervention.
(Partner Up)
Back to your home, like a cow taking a walk to the barn in the morn.
Net-Zero scheme just doesn’t add up, maybe it’s another pink Unicorn.
Bow and curtsy to your line mates, then stand up straight and slap your thigh.
Hiring should be done on merit, not artificial quotas ala DEI.
(Do-si-do)
Walk around each other back to back, buzz like a honey bee.
Longmont got only the manure when buying the cow, now is the time to divorce RTD.
Land back where you started, if you falter don’t worry no frowns or shrugs.
Developers feasting and squeezing Apartmont, like a toad on June bugs.
We sure hope you enjoyed the dance tonight. On your way out, please stop by the water dunk tank and try your skill at dunking the characters in the clown outfits labeled “Waste and Fraud.” Next week, we will have another surprise guest caller with another theme you’re sure to enjoy focused on Congress critters and the need for term limits, them raking in money while in office, and their salaries, health, and retirement benefits. Y’all come back now hear!
