command economy

Our Founding Father feared a Populist
would raid our Treasury to bribe his friends
to re-elect him, and his faction's list.
So only Congress gets to tax, and spend.
"Democracy" to them portends mob-rule
and all the terrors of the Paris mob.
They meant to spare us from this orange fool
who's so mal-educated for the job.
Yet Trump wants to dictate the price of oats,

and soy and pork should jump at his command.
And farmers ought to trust him with their votes
like Mao's believers bought each Five Year Plan.
Command Economies that we eschew
get spun for Trumpsters like they're something new.
