Notice how glib, with ease
Each of the nominees
Talks the economy
Each sounds so confident
That being President
They set how money’s spent
However, you can bet
No matter who we get
Up goes the nation’s debt
Our wars are never cheap
From Congress not a peep
As o’er the cliff we leap
But really it’s the Fed
What is or isn’t said
That signals green or red
Stock markets rise or fall
Synched with Fed’s latest call
And not economies at all
It ‘s time-spans small or great
That act to regulate
Which factors dominate
When time spans centuries
It is demography
That drives economies

I really like the unusual 3-line structure. It is as unbalanced as the economy
