In April, we’ll all be in clover—
All spending bucks we’ve got left over,
With 9-9-9.

To working folks we’ll bring enjoyment,
’Cause we’ll have nearly full employment,
With 9-9-9.

Our air will be pristine and clear,
And terrorists will disappear,
With 9-9-9.

And scientists will find the answer
That gives the world a cure for cancer,
With 9-9-9.

We’ll all achieve what we endeavor,
And all of us will live forever,
With 9-9-9.

A country that now seems depressed and limp’ll
Be great again if we just keep things simple.

Your support makes stories like this possible

From illegal war on Iran to an inhumane fuel blockade of Cuba, from AI weapons to crypto corruption, this is a time of staggering chaos, cruelty, and violence. 

Unlike other publications that parrot the views of authoritarians, billionaires, and corporations, The Nation publishes stories that hold the powerful to account and center the communities too often denied a voice in the national media—stories like the one you’ve just read.

Each day, our journalism cuts through lies and distortions, contextualizes the developments reshaping politics around the globe, and advances progressive ideas that oxygenate our movements and instigate change in the halls of power. 

This independent journalism is only possible with the support of our readers. If you want to see more urgent coverage like this, please donate to The Nation today.
