/*
This describes a small portion of what economists call macro-economics:
the relations between inflation, unemployment, etc. The relations are
not at all esoteric, in fact they are taken from "There's a Hole in My
Budget" by Flanders and Swann, in which there is a ``dialogue between
the Prime Minister and Chancellor, who wander round the room in a slow
inflationary spiral''. The song is a take-off of "There's a hole in my
bucket".
