Steve Young mulls the details of Obama's audacious plan to bail out the little guy!

November 6, 2008 – Hollywood (SteveYoungOnPolitics / apj.us) – It didn’t take long for President-elect Barack Obama to put his change style into effect, primarily to reverse the country’s economic free-fall.

In a drastic new measure he says will close the multi-trillion dollar gap in the country’s budget, Obama’s transistion team announced plans to replace the country’s present economic structure and replace it with what he’s calling a Green Stamps commerce system.

“It was actually rather pragmatic,” said Obama transition chief, John Podesta. “Most everything else is growing exceedingly fast - education costs, defense spending, congressional earmarks, even the deficit. It’s only the economy that has declined.”

To fill the void created by the deletion of the lackluster economy President-elect Obama will be replacing the monetary system with Green Stamps.

“When we pay our taxes, we’d get Green Stamps back based on how much we paid in,” said President-elect Obama. “With those stamps we get to buy things we want, from children toys to adult toys, from jelly jars to hybrid Escalades, from household items to houses. It would be better than cash. Putting them into our banks or under the mattress would do us no good. They’d not garner interest. We’d HAVE to spend them or they wouldn’t be worth the price of a….stamp.”

“Sure it sounds crazy,” said Wharton School of Business professor, Rich Erthangod. “But is it any crazier than letting that economy bankrupt the country?”

The plan’s bullet points include:

Stores would take their trailer loads books of stamps and use them to purchase inventory from their manufacturers. They would use them to buy equipment, parts and supplies to make their product. The suppliers would use them to buy food and other needs for their families. It’s the Circle Of Life without getting Disney involved, so even Baptists could participate.

Taxes wouldn’t have to be cut. Decreases in taxes would mean less stamps to the public. Green Stamps would be used to pay taxes.

The Federal Government would use the stamps to buy tanks, planes, missile defense shields.

Senators and Congressmen would be paid in Green Stamps.

States would use Green Stamps to pay for roads and graft.

Food stamps would be replaced by Green Stamps. Then poor people wouldn’t have to be embarrassed by using them because rich people would be forced to use them too.

Tens of thousands of Green Stamp machines would be placed in 7-11s and Walmarts.

As the program grows, there be other color stamps as there were yellow, gold and blue chip stamps in the past. Competition could only enhance the stamp biz and offer the consumer choices as well as the inevitable “Make America Yellow,” “America’s Got The Blues” and “We Give Double And Triple Stamps Of Every Color” sales that will benefit the consumer as well as bring all peoples together.

Obama’s original plan to ship the entire economy and deficity into Guam during the January inauguration festivities was frustrated when Homeland Security said it would conflict with the Patriot Act.

“Now that was crazy,” said Erthangood.
