LOOK AT ME, LOOK AT ME... I'M A BIG BOY

little, immature children love to be big
 
they try to act like adults and want to grow up big
 
that didn't happen to the people that you elected to represent you
 
you elected the children with the most cash
 
and they are still acting like children
 
it's not their fault, that's the way they were raised
 
it's your fault, you want too much from them
 
they are really confused, but they want to please you
 
- just like any child would
 
but you want them to spend your money on everything
 
you want them to go more into debt and spend more
 
i wish i had a debt ceiling - oh that's right, i do
 
when i have no cash and no more credit, i'm done spending
 
but you are allowing them to raise the roof, and allow them
 
to spend more and more, like you're the bank
 
- you're not the bank
 
the treasury is the bank and they print the money
 
and they will resort to 'extraordinary measures' to temporarily
 
finance the government's expenditures and obligations
 
it's kinda like when you ask a friend for gas money
 
- just enough to get to the bar
 
and not enough to get home - but that's ok, you don't care
 
because you're drunk
 
the treasury has never reached the point of exhausting
 
these secret extraordinary measures
 
but if that happens, it's unclear whom the government will pay
 
it seems like it will be the squeakiest of the squeaky wheels
 
 
and that will last until the wheels fall off
