Late in the 1930s the political talk
was of 'guns before butter'.
children's welfare was low priority,
compared with the need for arms.
But money to support morale still mattered.
Beer was never rationed during the war.
Now with prolonged public spending cuts
the talk is of putting the wants of corporations
and the banking system well before welfare,
because 'the country owes the rich so much-
and even if it didn't, we need them-without the rich
there would be no country and they preserve
the value of our currency through their tax avoidance'.
