The alternative? Allow your crazy, old, rich Uncle..., Sam (formerly rich, still old and crazy) to keep goin’ until he Owns All the big banks, car and insurance companies.
That brand new administration, just weeks into office and the “New” has already rubbed off their ideas! They’ve come up with: Spend a few billion here, a bunch of billions there, throw in a trillion for a budget, and the economy will "get rolling" again?
Yep, in D.C. (Ditzy City) they just keep comin’ up with (tryin’) ideas to “help” the economy. First “Big Plan” been modified six times (last I knew). Ideas(?) keep coming, but they all come out sounding the same, “Spend Tax Dollars”.
They recently came up with a way to “save” (some) American homes from foreclosure? (payin’ your mortgage payments used do that). Gonna throw $75 Billion dollars at the banks who hold those mortgages (and hope some sticks).
You and I are smart enough to figure out, that’s equivalent to you payin’ your mortgage with your credit card. You and I aren’t dumb enough to actually do that right (?). Congress is! Back far as I can discover they’ve Always been that dumb! Understandable maybe, since it’s not ever been Their Own Money?
With all this spending will come paying. That “paying” part will be Yours! Plus yours the second, third and 4th (if your family has an affinity for naming progeny with numbers?).
I have come up with a better idea!! (no dumber that theirs). It should pay All our bills, save banking and insurance industries, housing industry and auto companies. Might even nudge your investment and retirement portfolios back into the pink (black?).
You'd best forget everything you’ve heard about tax reductions, deductions, rebates, refunds and relief! They were never gonna happen anyway. I know, I know! You’ve been told for months they’re coming? They Won’t! None that’ll last longer than the smoke bein’ blown up your uhh..., chimney on these cold winter nights.
Why Not? Here’s couple examples: “Read my lips, no new taxes”, George H.W. Bush. “This new social security benefit will never be taxed“, F.D. Roosevelt. Mighta paraphrased a bit there, It’s hard to remember that long ago. Comes from hearin’ the same lies I’ve heard, Forever. Soo...,
LET’S SELL CALIFORNIA!! Came to me in a dream! (vision?). Now pay attention! There’d surely be any number of incidental side benefits too. Some that might even help save our collective sanity? With No tax increase!! (Read My Lips).
Everybody knows California’s got oodles (technical terminology, sorry) of prime real estate (‘til recently?). It’s got history, tourist attractions, scenic coastlines (romantic sunsets!) and fruits and nuts galore! Could even be some gold left in them thar hills! If anyone’s willing to work for it? (I know just the hard workers).
It's also got more than it’s share of “high tech” jobs (so far)! We won’t mention to potential buyers some jobs just might be scheduled for transfer to somewhere else? Courtesy of our congress, the WTO, NAFTA (or that new one, “SHAFTA”).
Any Buyer (Saudis? Chinese?) should be salivatin’ to get they’re hands on all this! Naturally, I’m thinkin’ first dibs oughta go to the very same folks we stole it from? (ok, discovered, claimed, squatted on, swindled, confiscated by war)..., Umm, like I say, “bought” it from originally..., MEXICO!!
Not “All” Mexicans, as in the “the Mexican People”, will be buyin’ it! I’m referrin’ to the Mexican Government! That way it’d only be our “government”, selling it to their “government”. See? No Actual “people” hafta git involved?
I’m bettin’ the mexican people wouldn’t even want to Buy it? After all, a good deal of ‘em are contentedly livin’ there already (why buy the cow, when the milks free?).
Too bad! All future complaints (after the glow of the purchase wears off) must be “solved” by those same governments. Neat Hunh!? Now please, maintain friendly smiles all ‘round (‘til the deal closes). Caveat Emptor!
I mentioned earlier there’d be “side benefits”? Wow...! There’re way too many to go into here. Ok, maybe a few bear mentionin’? Since this is a “Fire Sale”, meanin’ Everything Goes!
Imagine! Land, Towns, Everything in California..., SOLD? Picture it! Los Angeles, Hollywood, San Francisco (especially, San Francisco!). Current residents included (lotsa fruits an’ nuts, we won’t miss). Several government employees spring to mind! Senators Boxer and Feinstein, Speaker Pelosi (especially, Pelosi!).
You’re worried we’ll lose some great coastline? Shoot! I’ve predicted (hoped) for years California's gonna “fall off” one day. Let’s sell! Before that (or foreclosures) ruins the market!
I Don’t Know About You..., I just wanna be the Auctioneer!
