The last time Pete Seeger got as much attention as he's been getting lately, the U.S. was involved in, well, pretty much the same situation it's in now - stuck in a war started on false evidence (i.e. "lies"), costing billions of dollars (up to $320 billion a year these days), thousands of lives, and governed by incompetent, corrupt morons.

Now, what could a responsible government do with one billion dollars a day? Health care, maybe? Education? Fix a levee here and there? Help for the poor? While you think about it, join me in a round of "Waist Deep in the Big Muddy".
