Quote from Hello:
I was thinking today of a way which we could eliminate the debt which both sides should agree on. Why dont we simply round up all the democrats, (I am assuming we could find 100 million of them) and sell the democrats to China for 10000 dollars a piece. That would come out to 10 trillion dollars and we would be almost debt free. We would make china sign an agreement saying that they must feed, and shelter these democrats, as well as give them free healthcare, but the dems have to work for the government for free. We could give them the useless ones like Harry Reid, and Nancy Pelosi for free, since they will be of no use, except maybe as an end table or something to set your drink on.
Now this will work for the Rebublicans because we will be getting rid of 100 million government union employees, who only eat away at our tax dollars and provide no real benefit, and it will solve the debt problem at the same time. Plus with unenmployment so high we could easily fill all those positions in the government at half the cost. Students might have to take a couple weeks off while we teach new people to become teachers, it wouldnt take long to train someone to do a better job then the teachers today currently are.
Now the reason this should work out for democrats is because they would all now recieve all the free healthcare they want, as well as food and shelter, and no one would have to go hungry. Also another huge benefit for democrats is that none of them will have any more possessions than the other ones, since they all work for the government, so that should make them happy as well. An added bonus would be living in a communist country where Mao once ruled. It would be a true liberal utopia.
I am going to write a letter to my congressman this afternoon proposing this solution, I think if we can scare up enough votes on a petition it has a shot.
What do you guys think? I really dont know why someone hasnt thought of this already, it seems like such an easy fix.
