Merging two stories in the news — the S&P downgrading and the loss of 38 US personnel in a helicopter crash in Afghanistan — the song for the day is “We Hate To See Them Go” by Malvina Reynolds. The song is on Rise Up Singing., page 187. It is about a dream that “the bankers & the diplomats” would be the ones to go to war.
