Any changes would collapse the economy. Congress ignored the warning and the economy collapsed, allowing the yogurt to talk the president into signing over all authority to the yogurt. The narrator ponders that the yogurt, being smart enough to make such a budget, would also have predicted Congress would screw it up.
