The smart people in charge over at the Peter G. Peterson Foundation, whose mission it is to bring Americans together to find sensible, sustainable solutions that transcend age, party lines and ideological divides in order to achieve real results, have just created a fun way to express our frustration at continued non-solutions in government. Or at least that’s my standpoint…
It’s Called Fiscal Haiku.
Here is the one I submitted:
leaders tax and spend
no deficits they pretend
give future away
Message: It’s important that we talk about finances — whether they’re our own or our government’s. The new website, FiscalHaiku.com, showcases citizens’ creative opinions on our nation’s and our personal economic situations. Whether you’re concerned about the increase in foreign debt, foreclosures, or your own retirement, Fiscal Haiku is a place to share and express your thoughts on our monetary struggles.
Read, rate, and submit a Fiscal Haiku today.
Here are some of my favorites:
unsustainable
It is definitely clear
The fatal cliff near
Entrepreneurs
hold the KEY to our Future
economic growth
Those who have power
have little regard for us
til last voting hour!
Become the answer
Not the problem we all face
Get off of your butt
I’m not represented
By those who have been presented
To govern us all
national defense
without long-term solvency
equals defenseless
Remember 5, 7, 5. What ones did you submit?
