Song idea, please help: "The Twelve Years of Republicans."

[Pab Sungenis]

In the first year Republicans
in Congress gave to me...

What prominent Republican bullshit can we think of for each of the twelve years of Republican rule?

The only one I know for certain is 1998:

"In the fifth year Republicans
in Congress gave to me...
ONE IMPEACHMENT!" and so on.

1. 3000 dead in Iraq

4. 3 dollar gasoline. nt

7. I guess we'd file that under 2003.

In the ninth year Republicans
in Congress gave to me
three thousand dead soldiers.

For the MIHOP crowd, we might be able to have

In the seventh year Republicans
in Congress gave to me
Nine eleven.
