Changin my name to 'Chrysler'

I always thought this was a neat song ,when it first came out & told the tale of 'bailout's for big businaess,...now I will say Lee Iaccoca paid back this 'loan' much to his 'credit' (pun intended) ...but it seems this song apply's more now than ever...............

                "So if your failure, is Gigantic & your a Corporate Titanic --------

              -------------Down in Congress, there's a Safety Net for You"

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=daBx_PBrvSE               song done by Arlo Gutherie (Alice's Restaurant etc etc ).........

....one feature on this site ,is we can edit our own post,.so I am now adding this version of the same song,written by Tom Paxton (protest singer from way back) should be called 'awareness ' singer ratherthan protest ,ah but that's another topic....

  Here's the same song with updated names of today's Corporate Welfare Bums
