• See how the World its Veterans rewards!
  A Youth of Frolics, an old Age of Cards;
  Fair to no purpose, artful to no end,
  Young without Lovers, old without a Friend;
  A Fop their Passion, but their Prize a Sot;
  Alive ridiculous, and dead forgot.

Today's housing mess can be laid directly at the feet of Congress and the White House.
