Cash for Codgers................from Shelly

Democrats, realizing the success of the President's "Cash For Clunkers" rebate program, revamped a major portion of their National Health Care Plan. President Obama, Speaker Pelosi, and Sen. Reid are expected to make a major announcement at a joint news conference later this week. I obtained an advance 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 is fixed according to a sliding scale. Older and prescription-dependent codgers will garner the highest amounts.

Special "Bonuses" will be paid for 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 ensure that they are not secretly resold or their body parts harvested to keep other codgers in repair.

Remember you heard it here first...

I know you are trying to be funny, but I sure hope Harry or Nancy don't hear about this. They would probably think it is a GREAT idea.

By the way, Harry Reid's ads run all over this web site (I log on from Nevada)
