Puns! Okay, no seriously.. I know I've been remiss in posting. But work is truly trying to kill me with tediousness-- leaving me listless and sad. To solve both problems.. I want to recap the events happening in Greece right now... in rap. So drop a beat.
The NDP held parliament elections on Sunday,
Didn't get the memo that it was supposed to be a Funday,
They agreed that it was time to their ish in straight,
Bringing austerity and euro zone together before Germany checkmates,
'Cause the New Democracy Party is hoping to stay in the euro zone party,
Hoping to slip through like an underage-- "Don't card me!"
That crazy guy Samaras --was a victory for all Europe he said (he said),
But that guy Tsipras wants to disregard because the people gotta be fed,
His argument is there's more than one way to skin a cat,
But it's a pity when you can't figure out where the kitty is at,
Maybe instead discard the agreement,
Start over with a leftist coalition that really means it,
There's not much more to austere he claims,
Better to slow down a country than make it lame...
But what about the G20--what do they think?
They can clearly see that the zone's on the brink,
And what if everything were to crash and fall?
Well then inflation would rise, interest would plummet and this recovery we've been seeing? ...Wouldn't happen at all.
So our situation right now is a bit precarious,
These deep budget cuts to the people--nefarious!
But there's more politicking to come, I see,
Pasok is thinking about joining New Democracy,
As another party it's the Panhellenic Socialist Movement,
Trying to figure out where the country's groove went,
Typically they go with the NPD,
And if they side with them they'll bailout--just maybe,
But Pasok without Syriza won't play,
Syriza doesn't want to continue cutting like NPD's trying today,
Community members all seem to agree,
'Cause they don't care what happens in elections as long as they can be,
That means no cutting of public funds -- they can't lie,
Before this problem started their unemployment was sky high.
For Europe overall, what do we fear?
How do we know what's real from all that we hear?
A lot of uncertainty happens there and roils and rolls,
For all the years of irresponsibility is just the toll?
What about the other PIGs? Will Spain fall too?
What about global FIs, are they holding debt that belongs in the loo?
So what about us here in the states?
What are we looking for, what decisions to make?
Well the president is keeping an eye on all directions,
His main concern is how it affects re-elections,
He's already battling tense feelings with Putin-- even though no hard feelings are meant,
And his country is still flailing-- the reports are a bit ambivalent,
On top of this all he's facing the same election problems de novo,
That's "again" for the non-Brazilians so let's go,
It's taxes, immigration and education,
Energy investment, natural disasters and medication,
Unemployment, growth and inflation,
His billion dollar bet didn't do much for job creation,
It's consumer confidence, family values and such that,
People can see him as a dependable guy who doesn't react,
But plans for the country, looks to the future and is honest,
Hope is what those posters promised.
Props to Da Timez and The W P-Sizzle
