Sure, Its real easy. Just spend us into oblivion and then blame everything on Bush! At least they will be half-right. What idiots. Be sure to declare martial law, imprison "right-wing Christians", and make your deals with the Chinese to take California as collateral. No ethics, no morals. Its all gone. Gone with the wind.
This will be their last move: WHITE HOUSE, WASHINGTON DC, USA.
ATTENTION: THE PRESIDENT/CEO OF THE BANK
DEAR SIR,
CONFIDENTIAL BUSINESS PROPOSAL
HAVING CONSULTED WITH MY COLLEAGUES AND BASED ON THE INFORMATION GATHERED FROM THE US CHAMBERS OF COMMERCE AND INDUSTRY, I HAVE THE PRIVILEGE TO REQUEST FOR YOUR ASSISTANCE TO TRANSFER THE SUM OF $47,500,000.00 (FORTY SEVEN MILLION, FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND UNITED STATES DOLLARS) INTO YOUR ACCOUNTS. THE ABOVE SUM RESULTED FROM AN OVER-INVOICED BAILOUT, EXECUTED COMMISSIONED AND PAID FOR BY THE US TAXPAYERS. THIS ACTION WAS HOWEVER INTENTIONAL AND SINCE THEN THE FUND HAS BEEN IN A SUSPENSE ACCOUNT AT THE FEDERAL RESERVE BANK OF NEW YORK.
WE ARE NOW READY TO TRANSFER THE FUND OVERSEAS AND THAT IS WHERE YOU COME IN. IT IS IMPORTANT TO INFORM YOU THAT AS CIVIL SERVANTS, WE ARE FORBIDDEN TO OPERATE A FOREIGN ACCOUNT; THAT IS WHY WE REQUIRE YOUR ASSISTANCE. THE TOTAL SUM WILL BE SHARED AS FOLLOWS: 70% FOR US, 25% FOR YOU AND 5% FOR LOCAL AND INTERNATIONAL EXPENSES INCIDENT TO THE TRANSFER.
THE TRANSFER IS RISK FREE ON BOTH SIDES. I AM THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. IF YOU FIND THIS PROPOSAL ACCEPTABLE, WE SHALL REQUIRE THE FOLLOWING DOCUMENTS:
(A) YOUR BANK'S NAME, TELEPHONE, ACCOUNT AND FAX NUMBERS.
(B) YOUR PRIVATE TELEPHONE AND FAX NUMBERS -- FOR CONFIDENTIALITY AND EASY COMMUNICATION.
(C) YOUR LETTER-HEADED PAPER STAMPED AND SIGNED.
ALTERNATIVELY WE WILL FURNISH YOU WITH THE TEXT OF WHAT TO TYPE INTO YOUR LETTER-HEADED PAPER, ALONG WITH A BREAKDOWN EXPLAINING, COMPREHENSIVELY WHAT WE REQUIRE OF YOU. THE BUSINESS WILL TAKE US THIRTY (30) WORKING DAYS TO ACCOMPLISH.
Absolutely amazing the level of carnage. The often thought "impossible" is exactly that which is taking place. America is truly on fire and in trouble on such a level that the common man simply cannot believe it exist.
I found your site last weekend and really enjoy it! Keep it up! Its good to laugh even if it is the end of the USA as most of us know it. Besides, he can't tax laughs. :)
2001: National Debt - 3.8 Trillion. 2006: National Debt - 9 Trillion. 2009: National Debt - 10 Trillion. Republican Party control of Congress and Senate: 1094 -2001.
Republican Party control of Congress, Senate and Whitehouse: 2001-2006.
Tones of Government spending, reduce income brought in by taxes, results in HUGH NATIONAL DEBT. This ISN'T the Republican Party I grew up with. The US found out under old LBJ that you cannot have "guns & butter" at the same time. Bush and company never learned that hard lesson.

The low level of financial morality is not surprising. It is absurd to expect people who have no sexual morality to have financial morality.
