Government has given us more money than ever, but there’s less and less to buy.
In the Carboniferous Epoch we were promised abundance for all,
By robbing selected Peter to pay for collective Paul;
But, though we had plenty of money, there was nothing our money could buy,
And the Gods of the Copybook Headings said: “If you don’t work you die.”
It creeps me out the number of empty shelves I'll see in Walmart these days.
