What's your economic plan for America?

Under my economic plan, nine lucky people will be chosen at random. Each of them will receive nine dollars per day for nine months, and at the end of the nine months they will repay all of the money, but they will not be required to pay interest, provided that they make a sincere effort to create jobs with the money.

Under my economic plan, if you personally assist in the invasion of nine oil exporting countries, then you will receive nine free gallons of gasoline every month for nine years.

Under my economic plan, if you agree that you will refrain from sexually harassing anybody, and that you will make a sincere effort to create at least nine jobs, then the government will ensure that you get nine lives, and if you already have nine lives then you will receive a large carton of pizza-flavored catfood absolutely free.

Under my economic plan, if you own a grocery store and there's a sign in it that says "9 items or less" then you will have nine weeks to change the sign to say "9 items or fewer" and if you fail to change the sign then you will be required to pay nine dollars per day into a special fund for the promotion of literacy.

at a far lower rate than those who have to get up and go out in the snow 5/6 days a week and do real jobs.

4. Why should the ungrammatical subsidize the illiterate? Let the punishment fit the crime.

For instance, let those with dangling modifiers be dangled. Let those with run on sentences be run on. And so on.

6. Depends........If we have the same sort of turnout in 2012 as we did in 2010

that will mean a GOP clean sweep of the entire Government and My economic plan will be to take advantage of officially sanctioned, nay encouraged, greed as much as I can.

If my fellow citizens show up and vote and the GOP is not given complete control of the Government, then I will feel as though we all have some sort of future together and will spend and invest accordingly.

So, let's hope people do not sit at home on Election Day.
