Your president was on TV tonight hogging up all of the networks. This reminded me of a song that was released in 1992 near the end of George H.W. Bush's term, about six months before Hillary and her husband became president. Eighteen years later, the similarities to today are almost surreal. The country was in a recession in 1992, and the outgoing Republican president was defeated by a Democrat who promised to fix everything. Who can't read these lyrics and think the name should be changed to "Ode to the failed stimulus package?" The lyrics are downright scary how closely they relate to today's news with foreclosures, unemployment, and falling markets causing a lot of folks sleepless nights.
Megadeth: Foreclosure of a Dream
Rise so high, yet so far to fall
A plan of dignity and balance for all
Political breakthrough, euphoria's high
More borrowed money, more borrowed time
Backed in a corner, caught up in the race
Means to an end ended in disgrace
Perspective is lost in the spirit of the chase
Foreclosure of a dream
Those visions never seen
Until all is lost,
Personal holocaust
Foreclosure of a dream
