According to Joe
Joe Gedan



Emerging and discouraging economies

China's economy is growing fast.

A giant surplus they've amassed.

Their peasant culture may soon pass

To a fast emerging middle class.

Our economy is quickly slipping.

Savings accounts are now missing.

Consumer debt has me thinking.

Our middle class may be shrinking
