Haiku for Dear Leader’s Cadres
Robert Higgs • Friday January 30, 2009 8:22 AM PST
Billions come bursting
From huge hydrants of money
I’m stimulated
Credit freeze thaws now
Fed heats pipes until they steam
Winter is lovely
Consumers feel fine
Ready to mortgage their souls
John Maynard Keynes smiles
Saving’s so passé
Capital may be assumed
Let K be the stock
Giant debt you bet
Chinese will serve fine dinner
Children cannot vote
Like rose in springtime
Welfare state blossoms anew
Laughter heard in hell
