<font face="Arial"><font color="#000000"><font size="5">Wow, this girl has a great plan! Love the last thing she would do the best.</font></font></font><br />
<br />
<font face="Arial"><font color="#000000"><font size="5">This was written by a 21 yr old female who gets it. It's her future she's worried about and this is how she feels about the social welfare big government state that she's being forced to live in! These solutions are just common sense in her opinion.</font></font></font><br />
 <br />
<font size="5"><font face="Arial"><font color="#000000">This was in the Waco Tribune Herald, Waco, TX , Nov 18, 2011</font></font></font><br />
 <br />
<font size="5"><font face="Arial"><font color="#000000"><b>PUT ME IN CHARGE . . .</b></font></font></font><br />
 <br />
<font size="5"><font face="Arial"><font color="#000000">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.</font></font></font><br />
 <br />
<font size="5"><font face="Arial"><font color="#000000">Put me in charge of Medicaid. The first thing I'd do is to test recipients for drugs, alcohol, and nicotine. If you want to reproduce or use drugs, alcohol, or smoke, </font></font></font><br />
<font face="Arial"><font color="#000000"><font size="5">then get a job.</font></font></font><br />
 <br />
<font size="5"><font face="Arial"><font color="#000000">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&quot; 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.</font></font></font><br />
 <br />
<font size="5"><font face="Arial"><font color="#000000">In addition, you will either present a check stub from a job each week or you will report to a &quot;government&quot; 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 &quot;common good..&quot;</font></font></font><br />
 <br />
<font size="5"><font face="Arial"><font color="#000000">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 &quot;demeaning&quot; and ruin their &quot;self esteem,&quot; consider that it wasn't that long ago that taking someone else's money for doing absolutely nothing was demeaning and lowered self esteem.</font></font></font><br />
 <br />
<font size="5"><font face="Arial"><font color="#000000">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.</font></font></font><br />
 <br />
<font size="5"><font face="Arial"><font color="#000000">AND while you are on Gov't subsistence, you no longer can VOTE! Yes, that is correct. For you to vote would be a conflict of interest. You will voluntarily remove yourself from voting while you are receiving a Gov't welfare check. <b>If you want to vote, then get a job.</b></font></font></font><br />
 <br />
<font face="Arial"><font color="#000000"><font size="5"><b>MY COMMENTS: SEEMS TO ME THIS WOULD PUT OBAMA OUT OF A JOB.</b></font></font></font><br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div><font color="#17365d">Linda Burnett, 23, a resident of San Diego , went to a nearby supermarket to pick up some groceries. Later, her husband noticed her sitting in her car in the driveway with the windows rolled up and with her eyes closed, with both hands behind the back of her head.</font><br />
 <br />
<font color="#17365d">He became concerned and walked over to the car. He noticed that Linda's eyes were now open and she looked very strange.</font><br />
 <br />
<font color="#17365d">He asked her if she was okay, and Linda replied that she had been shot in the back of the head and had been holding her brains in for over an hour. The husband called the paramedics, who broke into the car because the doors were locked and Linda refused to remove her hands from her head. </font><br />
 <br />
<font color="#17365d">When they finally got in, they found that Linda had a wad of bread dough on the back of her head. A Pillsbury biscuit canister had exploded from the heat, making a loud noise that sounded like a gunshot, and the wad of dough hit her in the back of her head. When she reached back to find out what it was, she felt the dough and thought it was her brains.  </font><font color="#17365d">She iniially passed out, but quickly recovered. Linda is a blonde, a Democrat, and an Obama supporter, but that could all be a coincidence.</font><br />
 <br />
<font color="#17365d">The defective biscuit canister was analyzed and the expiration date was from 2008, so it was determined to be Bush's fault.</font></div>
