The country's in the very best of hands

Powerline, Instapundit, and others are linking to Johnny Mercer's "The Country's In the Very Best of Hands" from the play, "Li'l Abner".

The Treasury says the national debt is climbing to the sky

And govermnent expenditures have never been so high.

It makes a feller get a gleam of pride within his eye,

to see how our economy expands,

The country's in the very best of hands...

The money that they taxes us, that's known as revenues,

They compound up collaterals, subtracts the residues.

Don't worry 'bout the principle and interest that accrues,

They're shipping all that stuff to foreign lands,

The country's in the very best of hands.
