I also wondered about that. Your tax dollars being wasted. Just think of
thousands of postal drivers hauling around in trucks delivering a letter
that says you're about to get a letter. And the printing, and envelope
stuffing and all. Amazing waste of money.

Amazing Waste Lyrics
Christopher Young (1967-2039)
Stanza 6 anon.

Amazing Waste, how sweet the sound,
That sent a check to me.
I once was poor but now am funded,
Was peniless, but now money for me.

T'was Gov't that taught my heart to fear.
And Gov't, my fears relieved.
How precious did that Gov't appear
The hour I first believed.

Through many dangers, toils and periods of unemployment
I have already come;
'Tis Gov't that brought me safe thus far in my hybrid gas saver auto
and Gov't will lead me to a Medicare retirement home.

The presidential candidates has promised good to me.
His campaign promises my hope secures.
He will my desert shield and retirement fund and medicare and medicaid be,
As long as the federal deficit spending endures.

Yea, when this flesh and heart shall fail, probably due to cholesterol,
And Medicare and Medicaid shall cease, due to lack of funding,
I shall possess within the privately funded, non governmental supported home
A life of joy and peace as far as is legally permitted by safety
regulations.
When we've been here ten thousand years or some other period of time
Bright shining as the sun. Or maybe just delerious due to medication
We've no less days to sing God's praise in a nondenominational manner
Than when we've first begun as the land of the free and home of the brave



Amazing Waste, how sweet the sound, of the letter in the mail box
That saved a wretch like me from peniless despair.
I once was lost but now am found, at least when my check arrives
Was blind, but now I see how generous government is with my tax payer
dollars.

The truly insane thing was spending millions to mail out the "you will soon
be receiving a check" letters. Why not just send the check without the
fanfare?
