The 150 Billion Dollar Mess
by Christopher J. Bradley

If you can't beat your runner up,
Bash his opponent!
What an amazing piece of news,
That didn't make prime time.

Yet.

150 Billion Dollars is nothing to sneeze at,
When you're trading comments like that,
The supports have to be in place,
If it were me, I'd require protection,
A nice profolactic for my explosive orotory.

But that's just me,
I don't have 150 Billion to make a mess with,
So I guess, I'll just wait here,
While the bread lines get longer,
And the unemployed get stronger,

And chew on the few crumbs,
That are left...
