Fifty Years Ago Today Poem by Saint Eule

Fifty years ago today;
We sold our children's future away.
We were told the economy was sour;
We need to go back to the days of Eisenhower.

Yes - someone spent trillions on war;
Meals on wheels or child care no more.
Forget that check from social security;
You will be working till your ninety three.

Serving happy meals to the new generation;
Spending 50 bucks for meds due to inflation.
Our friends in Washington had no choice today.
Either lift the debt ceiling or lose our triple A.
