"Well, I'm just a bill . . ."

I posted the following on It's More Than Money, a blog I post to every now and again at work. Thought you guys might enjoy it too.

"Well, I'm just a bill . . . just a lonely old bill, and I'm sittin' here on capital hill. But now I'm off to the Senate where they sit and debate: adding a surtax to millionaires, an extension to unemployment pay, tax breaks for businesses and renewable energy, increasing FDIC insurance and adding a $1,000 tax credit for less affluent homeowners."

I know that doesn't quite carry the same tune as the original Schoolhouse Rocks song, but this is a lot more complex than just "school buses must stop at railroad crossings" (no offense Bill).
