Cash For Codgers


Democrats, realizing the success of the President's "Cash For Clunkers"
rebate program, have revamped a major portion of their National Health Care
Plan.

President Obama, Speaker Pelosi, and Sen. Reed are expected to make this
major announcement at a joint news conference later this week. I have
obtained an advanced 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 will be fixed
according to a sliding scale. Older and more prescription dependent codgers
will garner the highest amounts.

Special "Bonuses" will be paid for those 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.
