Bailout Watch: Uncle Sam's Buying Binge May Not Be Over

THE GREAT BAILOUT

Obama is--we know--a reader,

And also--it may be--a leader;

But it is very hard to lead

A nation so consumed with greed.

It turns the Christ upon his head:

Meekness and poverty stay dead

Within an economic system

Bailing out theft, but never wisdom.

The "least of these" my brother is,

But no one wants to hear of this,

"Spreading the wealth" the Christian way

Becomes a sin; the poor the prey.

It was the age--O don´t you doubt--

To be known as the Great Bail-Out,

As Wealth bailed from the common good

But left the poor to drink the flood.

Aparently thats exacly what they have been teaching in Economics courses. "Greed is good, dam the consequences!"

I NEVER HAD AN ECONOMICS COURSE IN COLLEGE. BUT IF I HAD, I WONDER IF THE PROFESSER WOULD HAVE WRITTEN

GREED ON THE CHALK BOARD AND THEN WALKED OUT.

THAT WAS THE ENTIRE COURSE
