Washington, D.C. - Congress today announced that the Office of President of the United States will be outsourced to overseas interests as of June 30th, the end of this fiscal year. The move is being made to save $400K a year in salary, a record $521 billion in deficit expenditures and related overhead.
"The cost savings will be quite significant," says Congressman Adam Smith (R. - Wash) who, with the aid of the GAO (the General Accounting Office) has studied outsourcing of American jobs extensively. "We simply can no longer afford this level of outlay and remain competitive on the world stage," Congressman Smith said.
Mr. Bush was informed by e-mail this morning of the termination of his position. He will receive health coverage, expenses and salary until his final day of employment. After that, with a two-week waiting period, he will then be eligible for $240 dollars a week from unemploymentinsurance for 13 weeks. Unfortunately, he will not be able to receive state Medicaid health insurance coverage as his unemployment benefitsare over the required limit.
Preparations have been underway for some time for the job move. Sanji Gurvinder Singh of Indus Teleservices in Mumbai, India, will be assuming the Office of President of the United States as of
July 1. Mr. Singh was born in the United States while his parents were here on student visas, thus making him eligible for the position. He will receive a salary of $320 a month but no health coverage or other benefits. Due to the time difference between
the US and India, Mr. Singh will be working primarily at night, when offices of the US Government will be open.
"I am excited to serve in this position," Mr. Singh said in an exclusive interview. "Working nights will let me keep my day job at the American Express call center. I always knew I could be President someday."
Mr. Bush has been offered the use of a Congressional page to help him write a resume and prepare for his upcoming job transition. According to Manpower, Inc., the placement firm, Mr. Bush may have difficulties in securing a new position as job prospects in the Sports Franchise Ownership arena remain limited.
A recently released report from the Pentagon suggests a good prospect for him as a newly unemployed person may be in the Army National Guard. There he would be called up with his unit and stationed in Iraq, a country he has visited briefly before.
"I've been there, I know all about Iraq and the conditions there," said Mr. Bush. He gained invaluable knowledge of the country in his first visit at the Baghdad Airport non-smoking terminal and gift shop.
Someone just sent me this, and after searching, I didn't see it listed anywhere on DU. Sounds a lot like Onion work; but I'm not sure of the original source.
