Government May Default

Government May Default

By Elton Camp

I admit that the details are far from clear
But I don’t like what it is that I now hear

If the U.S. cannot pay what it does owe
Then into a tailspin the economy will go

How about all of those highly paid folk
Some seem to act as if it is all some joke

If into default the government does go
I’m sure they’ll draw their salary, though

Why can’t they give their brains a wracking
To find the solution that the country’s lacking

Their lack of action the people are now tracking
And could very easily send all of them packing
