Hotel California and the Federal Reserve

In 1977 the Eagles spoke to us about ‘Hotel California.’ Lyrics are here.
A few lines from the song …
‘On a dark desert highway, cool wind in my hair…
Up ahead in the distance I saw a shimmering light…
Then I was thinking to myself this could be Heaven or this could be Hell
Welcome to the Hotel California
Some dance to remember, some dance to forget
They’re living it up at the Hotel California
We are all just prisoners here of our own device
Relax, said the night man, We are programmed to receive,
You can check out any time you like but you can never leave.’
The lines have been rewritten to fit the Federal Reserve – the hypothetical ‘Hotel Marriner Eccles:’ ‘On a dark digital highway, QE rewarding my pals
Up ahead in the distance I saw a burning pyre of debt
I was thinking to myself this should be Heaven but it’s Hell
Welcome to the Hotel Marriner Eccles
Some pontificate to remember, some lie to forget
