we're actually far from broke as a nation, worth many many trillions of dollars. the gov't is not doing well, of course, but we have *a lot* of obsolete military hardware that many countries would be happy to buy. i'd rather not sell it to them tho.
MADAM PRESIDENT, I
WANT TO MAKE TWO
MAIN POINTS. FIRST,
THE INFLATION THAT
MY PARTY CAUSED IS
NOW THE DEMOCRATS' FAULT. SECOND,
THE DEMOCRATS NEED TO UNDERSTAND
THAT WE WILL BLOCK ANY EFFORTS TO
SOLVE THE PROBLEM. I SAY THAT WITH
A STRAIGHT FACE 'CAUSE IT'S MY JOB. EVIL INSISTS, MADAM
PRESIDENT, THAT IT
MUST STEER THE BOAT.
WE'RE GOING OVER THE DAMN FALLS,
AND WE MUST DO IT IN THE FASTEST,
THE MOST DRAMATIC, AND THE MOST
AWFUL WAY. ON THE WAY DOWN, I'LL
BE CALLING FOR YOUR RESIGNATION.
