A couple of reflections on the current U.S. debt crisis. For anyone who has not been following this, the United States might default on its debt unless a deal to raise the debt ceiling is reached in Congress by next Tuesday.



What the Congressman Said

If the nation's finances default,
don't blame me! It isn't my fault.
Though we're in to the hilt
I will not share the guilt
when the USA grinds to a halt.

Christopher T. George


Another on the same theme....

In the Halls of Congress

Makes us sick to think
we are once more on the brink
as disaster looms
and Congress endlessly talks
in the same stuffy rooms.

Christopher T. George
