Penny Pinching
Treasuries
are empty vessels.
Chancellors,
in a parlous state
Of limited
means, must wrestle
With demands
as they inflate.
More for
defence and more for health,
More for
increasing benefits;
Meanwhile,
the wealthy guard their wealth
Or money
markets take the hits.
Every penny
capital pays
Whether as
salaries or doles,
If taxes
rise so must wages,
Too much by
capitals’ gauges
And it’s
then the stock market falls:
So, back
again, to crisis days.
D. A.
