Cash for stimulus? This isn't funny.
A billion here, a billion there
We're talking about real money
For an economy that might be beyond repair.
Who knows? It might all go wrong
Because they're making it up as they go along.
Cash to bail out our failing banks
A trillion here, a trillion there.
Geithner was just shooting blanks
Which just raised a lot of hot air.
The chances for success are not that strong
Because they're making it up as they go along.
If it doesn't work it's easy to see
We'll find ourselves in deep kim chee.
