Obama's New Pitch May Work

[Mike Furley]

Don't know if you heard this yet, but in an effort to rebrand his Health Care Program in a more positive light, President Obama announced today his new Cash for Codgers program. Younger, healthier Americans are encouraged to turn in their aging parents for a tax credit of up to $4,500.

The older, infirmed parents will be given a pain pill while their healthy organs are harvested and redistributed to younger people in need of them who are deemed to still have some potential to contribute in the service of our Dear Leader.

This change comes on the heels of Obama's previous strategy of likening his Government Run Public Option for Health Care to the United States Postal Service. To quell fears that a "Public Option" would drive private insurers out of business, Obama stated private mail services entities like Federal Express and UPS were doing just fine, that it was the Post Office that has all the problems.

If the Cash For Codgers program fails to sway public opinion in Obama's favor, his next approach will be to tout the competency and stability the Public Option will assuredely provide. Rumors abound he will liken it to the airline industry.

Cash for Codgers...that's funny.

I can't even begin to describe all the ways that the Cash for Clunkers program pisses me off. It wasn't enough to just straight up bail out GM and Chrysler, the government had to come up with another subsidized program to put more money in their hands. What's worse is that it looks like it is backfiring. I think I heard that greater than 80% of the clunkers being returned are American made, while approximately 77% of the vehichles going out are foreign. AWESOME! So the car manufacturers have hired back a few people, what do we have in this program now? $5 billion? Wonder how much we are spending per job with this brilliant plan? How long will those jobs last? Am I the only one who thinks demand for new vehicles is about to plunge into the abyss for months or even a year due to this program. Then of course, there is the hole thing about the government using the tax dollars of some to subsidize new cars for others! :eek: I can't believe this is America. You got to love Big Daddy Government!

I obviousl can't explain this one to you enough about how I get paid, so I won't try to any more. Just go back to your corner yelling "FRANKS 'N BEANS."

Hey, if you are competent enough to change the channel on a television, try the Documentary channel in about 10 minutes (12 am), nice show called "Indoctrinate U."
