Web site encourages poetic commentary on U.S. finances.

 

We've all read reams of prose about the economy in the last few years.

Perhaps it's time for some economic poetry.
 
The Peter G. Peterson Foundation, formed by the co-founder of the Blackstone Group private equity fund, has decided that's just what the nation needs: fiscal haiku.

 

So it has created a Web site, appropriately named fiscalhaiku.com, where people can express their feelings about the economy in the formatted Japanese poetry called haiku

Spend, borrow, repeat
Leave the bills for our children
Too young to object

 
Deferred enjoyment
China has mastered this skill.
How the West was won

 
Your IRA?  Gone.
And what is the solution?
Just work 'till you die.
