A Billionaire Boys Club

If Trump wins a second term,

Apparently, he has a plan

To make the multi-billionaire

Elon Musk his number-one man.

 

Musk in a Cabinet-level position?

People might say, "No big deal."

Think about the consequences.

Come on, people! Let's get real!

 

The following is one idea

That Elon Musk is recommending:

Cut the federal government.

Good-bye, discretionary spending!

 

To carry out his plan we must

Expect a hardship, he adds. But hey!

That is very easy for

A billionaire like him to say.

 

Many leading economists

Who hear Trump's plans tend to agree

That his proposals would really crash

Our current booming economy.

 

Musk with all his secret ties

To Vladimir Putin is also suspicious.

No wonder his election support

For Trump has been so overambitious.

 

Republicans will do away,

With needed regulations and let

All of us see the removal of

Our basic social safety net.

 

Trump and his billionaire amigos

Think their schemes will be a plus.

Maybe it's good for lining their pockets

But NOT good for the rest of us.
