Congress’ Job Creation Plan (UNCLASSIFIED)

Thursday, January 21st, 2010

Congress’ Job Creation Plan (UNCLASSIFIED)
This scheme will be known as RAPE (Retire Aged People Early).

workers

Due to the current financial situation caused by the slowdown in the economy, Congress has decided to implement a scheme to put workers of 50 years of age and above on early retirement, thus creating jobs and
reducing unemployment.

Persons selected to be RAPED can apply to Congress to be considered for
the SHAFT program (Special Help After Forced Termination).

Persons who have been RAPED and SHAFTED will be reviewed under the SCREW
program (System Covering Retired-Early Workers).

A person may be RAPED once, SHAFTED twice and SCREWED as many times as
Congress deems appropriate.

Persons who have been RAPED could get AIDS (Additional Income for
Dependants & Spouse) or HERPES (Half Earnings for Retired Personnel
Early Severance).

Obviously persons who have AIDS or HERPES will not be SHAFTED or SCREWED
any further by Congress.

Persons who are not RAPED and are staying on will receive as much SHIT
(Special High Intensity Training) as possible. Congress has always
prided themselves on the amount of SHIT they give our citizens.

Should you feel that you do not receive enough SHIT, please bring this
to the attention of your Congressman, who has been trained to give you
all the SHIT you can handle.

Sincerely,
The Committee for Economic Value of Individual Lives (E.V.I.L.)

PS – - Due to recent budget cuts and the rising cost of electricity, gas
and oil, as well as current market conditions, the Light at the End of
the Tunnel has been turned off.

Lets Get Your Opinion:

Have You Forgotten The President and Congress’ Failed  Promise about creating jobs.

Yes_     No_

If you answered No then you’re  part of the population that doesn’t care and will be sucked into the cesspool of no freedom, no job and hopelessness.

Respecting The Accomplishments And Experience Of Senior Americans.

Sometimes people call me an idealist.  Well, that is the way I know I am an American.  America is the only idealistic nation in the world.  ~Woodrow Wilson

Respecting The Accomplishments And Experience Of  Senior Americans.

A nation that doesn’t honor its heroes will soon find itself without heroes to honor. The single most powerful gift we can give older Americans is RESPECT. Whether they are Americans of the Greatest Generation who conquered and lived through the great depression and then went onto 5 years of war to conquer world tyranny; or the war kids (baby boomers and returning Vets) who built the foundation for a modern and prosperous America based on equal rights and justice, we owe older Americans a world of gratitude. Even in this deep recession, this country provides more opportunity for success than our Grandparents could have imagined. It is by their labor that the foundations for our success were laid. It is their dreams that we must remember to embrace, live out and enjoy.

We should welcome retirees back to the workforce if that’s what they want and need. Strangely, Corporate America would rather hire the least business-savvy and least-experienced demographic. So what if these older Americans are working because their promise of retirement was broken? They’ll be every bit as motivated as someone half their age—and a lot more disciplined and dependable. Plus they’ll have twice the experience. This type of experience in the seniors can be used effectively in the work place to mentor the younger less experienced individuals as well as provide and increase the bottom line to businesses.
