Put me in Charge

Got this from the Waco Times. U.S centric but applies to the west
written by a 21 year old woman----Snipus


Put Me In Charge...
Put me in charge of food stamps. I’d get rid of Lone Star cards; no cash for Ding Dongs or Ho Ho’s, just money for 50-pound bags of rice and beans, blocks of cheese and all the powdered milk you can haul away. If you want steak and frozen pizza, then get a job.

Put me in charge of Medicaid. The first thing I’d do is to get women Norplant birth control implants or tubal ligations. Then, we’ll test recipients for drugs, alcohol, and nicotine. If you want to reproduce or use drugs, alcohol, or smoke, then get a job.

Put me in charge of government housing. Ever live in a military barracks? You will maintain our property in a clean and good state of repair. Your home” will be subject to inspections anytime and possessions will be inventoried. If you want a plasma TV or Xbox 360, then get a job and your own place.

In addition, you will either present a check stub from a job each week or you will report to a “government” job. It may be cleaning the roadways of trash, painting and repairing public housing, whatever we find for you. We will sell your 22 inch rims and low profile tires and your blasting stereo and speakers and put that money toward the “common good..”

Before you write that I’ve violated someone’s rights, realize that all of the above is voluntary. If you want our money, accept our rules.Before you say that this would be “demeaning” and ruin their “self esteem,” consider that it wasn’t that long ago that taking someone else’s money for doing absolutely nothing was demeaning and lowered self esteem.

If we are expected to pay for other people’s mistakes we should at least attempt to make them learn from their bad choices. The current system rewards them for continuing to make bad choices.

put these on your New Years resolution lists

Lets permanently say goodbye to these very annoying terms


"Awesome''  usually uttered by some mindless young person who should
not be allowed to become and old person. A supernova is awesome. Having
your peanut butter and jelly bread land right side up is not.

''At the end of the day'' I would have cut my wrists at the beginning
of the day if I knew I would hear this meaningless phrase again

''The bottom line''  used to be a description of profit or loss
on a financial statement.  Now it is being used by people
who got punched in the nose for using ''at the end of the day''

''Facetime'' Apple communication software is excused but not
the doorknobs who feel ''Lets meet'' is too ambiguous ...

and while we are at it here is a brief description of the meaning
of some economic terms that are overused by popular media

''Fiscal Cliff''  This is Wiley E Cayote's destination after learning
that his Visa card is no longer accepted by Acme Explosives ltd.

''Debt Ceiling''  is the original retractable roof for politicians to ensure
they can keep spending other peoples money

''Quantitive Easing''  Money printing

''Revenues''  Taxes

''S&P"  Standard and Poor which describes formerly Exceptional & Rich
before they bought Facebook stock
