President Obama and congressional leaders failed to reach a compromise Saturday in efforts to beat an August 2 deadline to head off a government default.
Deal Or No Deal
Republicans and Democrats
Are racing with the clock,
Searching for a compromise
To avert a fiscal shock.
Talks continue as they try
To keep us from default;
And keep the wheels of commerce
From grinding to a halt.
The deadline’s now two days away,
As they use all their skills
To assure us all the money’s there
To pay the nation’s bills.
