Our country is cruisin' down the road in a big, yellow bus........
And we're having a grand ol' time. The driver is telling us that times are going to be much better when all these taxcuts kick in. Yeah! I'll drink to that! But up ahead, just a thousand yards or so, is a cliff that looks like the firepit in the Lord of the Rings. And only a few know where the bus is headed.

The driver and his assistants tell all the riders to have another drink. Times are going to be much better in the next four years. The riders are oblivious to what lies ahead. They are going to have more money in their pockets. Let the good times roll!

Get us to the polls on time. We cannot wait to vote for the great times that lie ahead. Almost everyone agrees that the economy is getting better. Even Greenspan the Great tells us that happy days are here again. No one can envision the horror and screams as the bus shoots off the cliff like an arrow from space. Let's have another drink!

better buy yourself a gun, lots of ammo, and a nice place to holdup while the country falls apart into anarchy when the dollar collapses.
