President Biden on Tuesday said his administration is taking steps to limit the impact that sanctions imposed on Russia have on the U.S. economy, although he acknowledged some effects were likely.
(WSJ)
Joe Biden knows just what to do
to fight the Russian bugaboo.
So when old Putin struts his stuff,
our Joe shows him we're mighty tough.
He scatters sanctions like the dust
to make those Ruskies all go bust.
And THAT will show 'em who is boss,
as they are hit with fear and loss.
All pipeline deals are dead and gone;
an import ban on cardamon.
Their assets we have frozen good;
they can't come visit Hollywood.
Tabasco Sauce they cannot get,
while we refuse them Tagamet.
And while the Russian bear might growl,
our own strong folk will never scowl . . .
As gasoline climbs up so far
we cannot drive a kiddie car.
And inflation gets its mitts
on ev'rything from shoes to grits.
Our wages have gone flat and stale,
and many hold a rummage sale
to finance college for their kids
or just so they won't hit the skids.
So homelessness a cancer stays
as more and more face hopeless days;
and nights upon a park bench chill,
cuz housing costs are not a frill.
But we Americans are strong
and know the diff tween right and wrong.
We'll soldier on without a grump --
but please God save us all from Trump!
