An Ode to Economic History
Its January 5, 2009
And Obama is in town starting to whine
The economy, he says, needs his almighty help
And not one of the lib blowhards dares to yelp
He acts like the economy has a terminal cancer
Then turns to Nancy and Harry for the wrong answer
Mr. Obama, please look back when we had it much harder
Just remember how bad things were under President Carter
Yes, it got worse for a while under the great Ronald R
But he knew what to do, he said we have raised taxes too far
Cut them, he said, or the economy will blow
And sure enough, soon our economy did grow
The 111th Congress will soon be in session
Only to forget this recent history lesson
Yes, we all can see that the economy is bad
But don't increase spending, it will just make us mad
Instead please start the year with a clean slate
And cut spending and taxes, before it's too late!

AMEN to that. Stop spending and cut my taxes!
