Interest

There are millions of Americans who spend a big part of their budget on debt
The interest rates can vary wildly from three to three hundred percent
If you have good credit you get three
If you have bad credit you get to pay a lot more
And continue to pay and pay and pay
With nothing to show for it
What about our national debt
At 23.2 trillion and rising around a trillion a year as of late
Ronald Reagan was the first to reach the trillion dollar mark
Obama was the first to add ten trillion in just eight years
The ones at the top and the voters who tend to be older
They just don't seem to care at all
Just gimme gimme gimme
With no concern what the future generations will have to endure
So they can steal
Ross Perot
Where are you?

About this poem:
I was watching some old clips of Ross Perot and his main push was to reduce the national debt which was four trillion in 1992. I have heard nada on this issue from any major candidate.
