Cash for Codgers: The Next Logical Step in the Insane World of Democrat Policy Making

No time to post yesterday or today—I’ll have some new posts up this evening though.

In the meantime, here’s a humorous email making the rounds — petty funny, except it’s not that far fetched from the types of policies the Dems have passed (cash for Clunkers, TARP, stimulus) and the types they still want to make (government take over of the entire health care system).

Trade your gramms and gramps in for some stimulus cash

Any how — for your Wednesday reading pleasure, I give you President Hussein’s Cash for Codgers program:

Democrats, realizing the success of the President’s “Cash For Clunkers” rebate program, have revamped a major portion of their National Health Care Plan.

President Obama, Speaker Pelosi, and Sen. Reed are expected to make this major announcement at a joint news conference later this week. I have obtained an advanced copy of the proposal which is named….

“CASH FOR CODGERS” and it works like this… Couples wishing to access health care funds in order to pay for the delivery of a child will be required to turn in one old person. The amount the government grants them will be fixed according to a sliding scale. Older and more prescription dependent codgers will garner the highest amounts.

Special “Bonuses” will be paid for those submitting codgers in targeted groups, such as smokers, alcohol drinkers, persons 10 pounds over their government prescribed weight, and any member of the Republican Party.

Smaller bonuses will be given for codgers who consume beef, soda, fried foods, potato chips, lattes, whole milk, dairy products, bacon, Brussel sprouts, or Girl Scout Cookies.

All codgers will be rendered totally useless via toxic injection. This will insure that they are not secretly resold or their body parts harvested to keep other codgers in repair.
