I was driving home and listening to C-Span and they were talking about heath care and reform. Also discussed was  the Medicare Part D, prescription drug plans. I am in that plan and medicare also. Callers talked about the pros  and cons of these plans. Politicians and lobbyists were mentioned. And how much these leeches earn.  Also discussed in another segment was how politicians take our  money and give it to their buddies,  like how Harry Reid gave Mary Landrieu  $300 million. 
And for some reason I thought about Dire Straits and their hit Money for Nothing.
 Please read the lyrics and you will see how the words can be applied to our friends in Washington, politicians and lobbyists et al.  I made bold the words that add clarity to my analogy.


Below are the lyrics of Money for Nothing - I took out the verses that repeat.


 Now look at them yo-yo's, that's the way you do it
You play the guitar on the M.T.V.
That ain't working, that's the way you do it
Money for nothing and your chicks for free

Now that ain't working, that's the way you do it
Let me tell you them guys ain't dumb
Maybe get a blister on your little finger
Baby get a blister on your thumb

We got to install microwave ovens
Custom kitchen deliveries
We got to move these refrigerators
We got to move these colour T.V.'s

The little faggot with the earring and the makeup
Yeah buddy, that's his own hair
That little faggot got his own jet airplane
That little faggot he's a millionaire

Look at that, look at that
I should have learned to play the guitar
I should have learned to play them drums
Look at that mama, she got it sticking in the camera
Man we can have some
And he's up there, what's that? Hawaiian noises?
Banging on the bongos like a chimpanzee
Oh, that ain't working, that's the way you do it
Get your money for nothing get your chicks for free

Listen here
Now that ain't working, that's the way you do it
You play the guitar on the M.T.V.
That ain't working, that's the way you do it
Money for nothing and your chicks for free
Money for nothing and chicks for free

Get your money for nothing, get your chicks for free
Money for nothing, chicks for free
Look at that, look at that
Get your money for nothing, get your chicks for free (I want my, I want my, I want my M.T.V.)
Money for nothing and chicks for free
Easy, easy

That ain't working  !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
