The 2010 Massachusetts Budget in Haiku

Patrick signed the bill
Our booze gets a big new tax
Trips to New Hampshire

Sales tax gets bigger
Deval wanted gas tax
Western Mass says no

If sales are down,
A sales tax increase won't
Fix the deficit

Deval made vetoes
Immigrants keep insurance
Bostonist says "good"

MBTA broke
Big Dig debt looms all places
But budget ignores

A one-time payment
From federal stimulus
Next year: no idea

all i want is more / money in my bank account / kill the income tax

Mass budget looks bad
But it could always be worse
Say: California!

I love my food stamps,
Also Commonwealth Care. Um,
Living costs a lot.
