Money Isn't Everything. Unless It's a Lot of Money.

The deficit is bigger than it looks
By quite an awful lot.  The story's not
A very pleasant read, and hasn't got
A very happy ending.  To the books
Is given quite a respite from a full
And honest calculation; to the men
And women calculating if, and when,
The honest calculation will annul
Projections given in the given books,
Is given quite a bitter lesson here:
For all the debt we're well-advised to fear,
The biggest isn't warring, or the crooks
In Congress or the market, but the debt
That we have simply not acknowledged yet.
