Old People Know How To Get Around A Problem

Common Sense Commentary: Unintended consequences, collateral damage and "for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction", have never been more appropriately applied than to our president's new health care extravaganza.  That is to say, take away huge parts of old people's savings interest and Medicare, which they paid for, and give it to all those who had no health insurance and then sit back and watch how those old folks solve the problem.

This is a friend of mine's rational analysis and recommendation for us oldsters.

 

 

You're a sick senior citizen and the government says there is no nursing home available for you.

So what do you do?

Our plan gives anyone 65 years or older a gun and 4 bullets. You are allowed to shoot four Politicians.

Of course, this means you will be sent to prison where you will get three meals a day, a roof over your head,

central heating, air conditioning and all the health care you need! Need new teeth? No problem. Need glasses? That's great. Need a new hip, knees, kidney, lungs or heart? They're all covered.

As an added bonus, your kids can come and visit you as often as they do now.

And who will be paying for all of this? It's the same government that just told you that they cannot afford

for you to go into a home.

And you can get rid of 4 useless politicians while you are at it.

Plus, and because you are a prisoner, you don't have to pay any income taxes anymore.

Is this a great country or what?
