Following the brilliant Hayek vs Keynes videos on first y second version, here comes the rap of the summer with lines like this: «I can afford all sorts of cars, I’ve got all sorts of set-ups; the ladies ask me how I get them, and I tell them: STIMULUS«. You can watch the video below, and the lyrics are transcribed further down. Hope you enjoy it:
Lyrics:
Raise the debt ceiling!
Raise the debt ceiling!
Raise the debt ceiling!
Raise the debt ceiling!
14 trillion in debt
but we’ve got no qualms
dropping $100 notes
and million-dollar bombs
spending money we don’t have
that’s the name of the game
They call me Cumulonimbus
because you KNOW I make it rain
rescue all kinds of cars
I've got all sorts of cars
Ladies ask me how I get them
I tell them STIMULUS
Social Security surplus?
Oh, guess what? It’s gone
I got my hands on everything
like Dominique Strauss-Kahn
there’s no Medicare trust fund
Well, that’s just absurd
spending every single penny that
Well, son, have you heard?
I’ve got no moral objections
I’ve not had any complaints of that sort
I’ve got no quantitative data
statutory budgetary constraints
So…
[CHORUS]
Me, I’m up in the Fed
and we’re living in style
Spending a lot of money
whilst we were sipping Crystal
still making it rain
and yeah, it’s so satisfying
Wait, not making it rain–
We’re all about «Quantitative Easing!»
QE1, QE2
QE4, QE3
Dropping IOUs
in every fund I come across
printing money
inflating the funds
calling on China
«I'm straight out of my 20s!’
at the club
we’ll be making a racket
whilst at the market, yeah
we’ll be crowding out
on the beach sunbathing
and sipping a Corona
We’ve got a financial plan–
and it uses a lot of toner…
[CHORUS]
So if you look at the chart
and analyse the trend
we borrow 40 cents of every
every single dollar we spend
and non-discretionary expenditure
increases every day
Do you have any comments for the Committee?
I MAKE IT RAIN
Mr Speaker, Mr Speaker
Would you beam me up?
A Member of Congress cutting spending?
I couldn’t have made it up
We’re going to default
if we take this road!
I should have thought of that
14 trillion dollars ago!
I’m the king of the links
I’m a real handful at tennis
I’m putting spinnaz on my rims
picking winners in business
if you’re looking for some cash
It’s about to get intense
I’ve got some big old piles of money
And guess what – they’re ready to go
[CHORUS]
