In a fantasy land, known as deecee, deecee
\nThere lived powerful leaders who took life quite easy
\nThey feasted and feasted like pondiverous pigs
\nWhen it came to decisions, they could zag and zig<\/p>\n
They had eaten themselves out of houses and home
\nRun up their credit cards buying fliverous floam
\nThey were overspending EACH YEAR by millions, I mean trillions
\nThey told us not to worry, ” at least it wasn’T zillions”
\nThey told the concerned citizens of deecee deecee
\nAnd they’d come up with a plan that made pie look easy<\/p>\n
We’ll start eating less by cutting our feasting back
\nBut we’re sooo concerned about what you’ll then lack
\nSo, we’ll “cut” by eating more, but less more than we’d hoped
\nA citizen shouted out, “Your thinking’s been doped”<\/p>\n
“Pigs don’t get leaner by eating more,
\nThey can’t get cleaner, by rolling mud in their pores
\nThere’s one simple solution to the problem of how
\nYou MUST eat much less, and you MUST do it now”<\/p>\n
A pig stood to respond, with his snout taking a whiff
\nIf we stop eating now, we’ll all fall off a cliff…
\nThis fearful term put the town in a mood
\nUntil the pig made a suggestion, “Why don’t you give us your food”<\/p>\n
“If the citizens gave us more, of their food,\u00a0 I just bet,
\nWe’d quickly be out of the multi trillion debt”
\nSo they wrote a new law and called it a fix
\n“This will deal with the cliff, if you pass it quick”<\/p>\n
It didn’t spend less, in fact, it spent more
\nThey withheld all the details because” they were such a bore”
\nThe pigs kept eating and thought it was funny
\nThat they’d saved the town from the cliff, by taking their money<\/p>\n
The town sighed a big sigh, being free from that cliff
\n“Those leaders are so brave, to fight and to tiff
\nIn order to save us from the big nasty cliff.”
\nBut then a man asked the question of “if”<\/p>\n
If the cliff was about spending, why didn’t we cut
\nIf the pigs are the problem, why take skin off our butt
\nIf we are overspending trillions of dollars each year…
\nWhy would spending three more trillion fix all the fear.<\/p>\n
