Where's My Job

I just watched the Obama inaguartion. His speech kicked ass. It wasn't at all riddled with liberal rehtoric like I expected. Although I was disappointed that no one sang the theme from the Jeffersons, while the people began chanting O-BAM-A, I was chanting Where's-My-Job. No, I still haven't found a job yet. But that's OK I know Obama will remember me when he sobers up tomorrow and realizes where he is. I'm gonna be one of the 660,000!, no, I'm not talking about being one of the Jehovah Witnesses who will be saved, I'm talking about getting one of the 660,000 jobs that Obama is going to create. I read this morning that his stimulus package will cost almost $1 trillion dollars, but that's OK because he's going to create 660,000 new jobs. That means that it's going to take $1.5 million dollars to create each job. Seriously?!?

HEY I've got an idea, Obama, how about if you just give the first 660,000 unemplyed persons you come across $1.5 million in cash and we wont need to look for a job. Now before you poo poo this idea, keep in mind that 1)Unemplyment claims would drop by 660,000 and I, along with the other 659,999 FBs, would certainly be willing to sign a pledge never to file another unemployment claim for the rest of our natural lives. 2)Wisely invested, this cash could pump much needed funds into the market, increasing everyone's 401k, while allowing each one of us unemplyed folk to live quite nicely on the income generated. 3)Of course there would be some of the 660,000 who would just run out and blow all their money on hot tubs and fast cars, but that's OK because they would be creating new manufacturing jobs. It would be all-around better for everyone. Heck, I would even be willing to settle for $1 million even and let the government save the other $5-600,000. I would rest comfortibly in the knowledge and belief that I could handle our money better than any government official. That is my pledge to you. Let's call this Sam's Proposal. Now let me see if I can get into one of these inagural parties and deliver Sam's Proposal to my man Barack.
