America is a Credit Card

America is a credit card
On which the balance is due
But our five and six figure leaders
Can’t see that this is true

They spend beyond the budget
Raising each and every tax
Destroying the dollar’s value
As their oversight grows so lax

And they pad each bill with pork
Fiddling with them like ancient Nero
Answering problems with more money
And our dollar’s worth approaches zero
