When I taught with Bob LeFevre at Rampart College decades ago, our school theme song was “The Country’s In the Very Best of Hands,” from the musical “Li’l Abner.” This portion of the lyrics pretty well sums up modern America:
“The treasury says the national debt
Is climbing to the sky
And government expenditures
Have never been so high
It makes a fellow get a
Gleam of pride when they decide
To see how our economy expands
The country’s in the very best of hands.”
