Fiscal Haiku: Express your thoughts about the state of America's finances

Credit cards are nice
People with cards cause pain when
Using cards like dice

Tom B. Thousand Oaks, CA
debt is not worth it
not a single luxury
as seen on tv

Bob U. Round Rock, TX
What are these taxes
I'm paying to the maxes
It's not fair to me

Joe M. Westport, CT
Loan is called, bubble burst
Must work for dinner now, we
Ate our dessert first.

Mary F. Vienna, VA
use dollars and sense
to make your way in this life
ask same from leaders

Michael S. Raleigh, NC
I had no money
Now I find that I have less
Do I owe you too?

Steve M. Elkhorn, WI
I saved my money
Government made it worthless
Should have blown it all

samuel h. houston, TX
Who is in control?
Do leaders deserve to stay?
Our vote holds the sway.

Carl B. Anderson, SC
When we do not save
Send our dollars to other shores
Spent there, not at home

Gary R. Albuquerque, NM
Food court smells so good
But my wallet is empty
It sucks to be broke

Marcia M. West Des Moines, IA
