Whatever your view of fiscal control

And what that means for the Treasury’s role

Now’s a good time to reflect on your views

Perhaps be expansive, find a new muse…

‘Cuz that’s what Janet Yellen is doing!

Magical new policies must be brewing…

Throughout our youth we’re told to grow up

‘Cuz we’d do things that’d make adults blow up.

So now that we’ve joined the ranks of the old

After trying to do everything we were told

It turns out that what we need as old dudes

Is to reconnect with our young attitudes!

When the jobless rate is at three percent

And wages are high and cover the rent

I see how the kids may think it’s okay

To change their jobs every other day.

But once the labor market gets tight

They won’t be hired – who’d risk the flight?

I have to imagine their days are numbered

Because it’s insane that he’s encumbered

Their marriage with such absolute mistrust

Which has to lead to a total bust.

Leaving aside all the fictitious pay

What did she think he was doing each day?!

In Guatemala things are pretty hot

Unrest has been building and there’s a lot

Of violence and anger and corruption

Creating massive social disruption.

So into that mix guess what we have done?

Made it super easy to get a gun!

Amid all the drama and beating of chests

Over a transgen gal complete with full breasts

Who still had some balls to endorse Bud Light

And started a massive cultural fight

Here comes Garth Brooks with a message of peace

Be inclusive, he says (and sales may increase…)!

We have to pause and appreciate this

Since the impact it has, we cannot dismiss.

Unlimited energy! Carbon free!

That ushers in a new reality.

Let’s hope these scientists keep it going

So far it’s been a powerful showing.

Tipping culture has gone out of control.

Don’t get me wrong, I generally bankroll

Sizable sums to support service staff

And know that only the lowly riff raff

Stiff the people who are doing them right.

But a self-service car wash? Yeah, not quite…

Kind of amusing Zoom now requires

All of the staff the company hires

To show up at work, yes there in person

Since video meetings often worsen

The productive pursuit of business goals

And let folks disappear into black holes.

Rating agencies are sometimes quirky

And the data they use can be murky.

Fitch’s has scolded us, downgrading debt

It’s probably not a terrible bet

But the reasons they cite seem off the mark,

And the size of debt is left in the dark.
