According to Joe

Joe Gedan

Fiscal fallacy

The war has drained our treasury

As Bush went on a spending spree.

The deficit will take its toll

And put us in a terrible hole.

Now Bush says we'll get healthy

By giving tax cuts to the wealthy.

With that plan Bush should know

The gulf between rich and poor will grow.

Daily headlines inspire the poet in Joe Gedan, a retired U.S. magistrate judge who lives in Honolulu. His observations on the news appear on Sundays and Fridays.
