OT - More Outsourcing
[
Outsourcing the President's Job Congress today announced that the office of President of the United States of America will be outsourced to overseas interests as of August 31st. The move is being made to save not only a significant portion of the President's $400,000.00 yearly salary, but also a record $521 billion in deficit expenditures and related overhead. "We believe this is a wise move financially. The cost savings should be significant," stated Congressman Thomas Reynolds (R-Wash.). Reynolds, with the aid of the Government Accountability Office, has studied outsourcing of American jobs extensively. "We cannot expect to remain competitive on the world stage with the current level of cash outlay," Reynolds noted. Mr. Bush was informed by email this morning of his termination. Preparations for the job move have been underway for some time. Gurvinder Singh of Indus Teleservices, Mumbai, India will be assuming the office of President as of September 1st. Mr. Singh was born in the United States while his Indian parents were vacationing at Niagara Falls, thus making him eligible for the position. He will receive a salary of $320 (USD) a month but with no health coverage or other benefits. It is believed that Mr. Singh will be able to handle his job responsibilities without support staff. Due to the time difference between the US and India, he will be working primarily at night, when few offices of the US Government will be open. "Working nights will allow me to keep my day job at the American Express call center," stated Mr. Singh in an exclusive interview. "I am excited about this position. I always hoped I would be President someday." A Congressional Spokesperson noted that while Mr. Singh may not be fully aware of all the issues involved in the office of President, this should not be a problem. Mr. Singh will rely upon a script tree that will enable him to respond effectively to most topics of concern. Using this tree, he can address common concerns without having to understand the underlying issues at all. "We know these scripting tools work," stated the Spokesperson. "Mr. Bush has used them successfully for years." Mr. Bush will receive health coverage, expenses, and salary until his final day of employment. Following a two week waiting period, he will be eligible for $240 dollars a week unemployment for 13 weeks. Unfortunately he will not be eligible for Medicaid as his unemployment benefits will exceed the allowed limit. Mr. Bush has been provided the outplacement services of Manpower, Inc. to help him write a resume and prepare for his upcoming job transition. According to Manpower, Mr. Bush may have difficulties in securing a new position due to limited practical work experience. One possibility is re-enlistment in the Air National Guard. Should he choose this option, he would likely be stationed in Iraq, a country he has visited. "I've been there, I know all about Iraq," stated Mr. Bush, who gained invaluable knowledge of the country in a visit to the Baghdad Airport's terminal and gift shop. Sources in Baghdad and Falluja say Mr. Bush would receive a warm reception from local Iraqis. They have asked to be provided with details of his arrival so that they might arrange an appropriate welcome. ~ Author Unknown ~ ] |

PLONK Steve Steve B Thanks for reposting the article in it's entirety. I had not seen it till you did so. Steve You're welcome. Would you like to see it again? I wanted to follow netiquette, and post the message I was responding to. You will notice that I only posted the pertinent parts here to assist the usenet impaired in following the conversation. I am sure you will see it reposted hundreds of times should you choose to follow this inane thread. Should you be on a dialup, or a cell hook up, or just narrow bandwidth, you should really thank Cliff, and not me. Steve Steve |

We would save even more if we simply eliminated the Presidency, and all legislation is automatically vetoed. Less would pass if all bills required 2/3 to 3/4 majority (but it probably would still be too many). Maybe we can require the retired presidents to pick up their retirement pay in Bagdad? -- Free men own guns, slaves don't www.geocities.com/CapitolHill/5357/ |

Im waiting with bated breath to see if the Libs (and unfortunately far too many Conservatives) implode if the new bill that requires each future bill to be prefaced with how each bill is covered under the Constitution, along with the end results of said bills. Having to prove each bill is Constitutional in action, will weed out a ****load of legislation. I can see Nazi Pelosi and Swinestein bursting into flames at the podium. Of course...it will smell like burning pig ****.... Gunner |

Most of us grow out of that by the end of grade school. Wouldn't it be easier to just say "Wups, my bad, I won't do that any more", or just ingore it and, you know, not do it any more? It's fine if you don't want to exert the effort to discourage it, but please don't make it worse, OK? |

I just think if I do, that Cliff needs a couple of swats, too, for starting political crap in a metalworking newsgroup. I come here to get away from being bombarded by it 23 hours a day. So, give me my swats, and don't forget Cliffie, either. Steve |

The best thing to do with Cliffy is to shun him (unless you're in a position to actually get your hands on him G) and totally forget that he has ever existed. This isn't the only NG that he's infested that you (and I, for that matter G) habituate, either. |

Having to cite authorization could cut legislation by as much as 75%. It would also eliminate the hideous congressional cooperation with executive orders; force a return to gold based monetary system; effect treaties; and a hundred other changes. Then we could talk about important stuff. Like the 75% Congressional wage reductions brought about by their greatly reduced overhead and time they'll spend actually doing anything in D.C.?
