Driving America Forward

Political analysts have praised the presidential campaign of New York Senator Hillary Clinton for the skillful way in which they have released her plans to remake the United States according to her vision. It was apparently the subject of intense debate whether to release the plan piece by piece or all at once declaring and end to the tyranny of the dead white slave owning males we call the founding fathers. In the end it was the candidate's husband who made the decision that voters would more easily understand and accept Hillary's vision in smaller pieces.

"The people just can't handle anything this big, this magnificent all at once. Most of them don't have the attention span, and the rest would just be scared by the magnitude off it all."

The first piece presented was Hillary Care. The plan to nationalize the health care industry that is essentially an edited version of the plan the Clintons were unable to enact when Bill was President.

The second announcement was the baby bond. The idea was to give every child not aborted a $5000 savings bond that they could use when they reached 18 to pay for education or a home. The main purpose of the measure is to teach every future American that they are dependent on the government to provide for them.

To reinforce that lesson Clinton proposed to establish a government controlled 401K investment program. Americans with a reported income of $60k or less could put money into the plan ad the government would match up to $1,000. None of the Senator's critics from either side of the aisle recognized that just as the S-CHIP expansion was designed to pave the way to fully socialized medicine, the 401K program was designed as a first step toward achieving the partial privatization of the Social Security system.

The next piece of the plan due to be released is called "Drive America Forward." Critics who have previewed the details of the plan have begun calling it "Drive America Crazy." In this proposal, the federal government would provide a voucher to every American with an income of less than $60,000 that could be used to purchase anew car or truck for private use. The vouchers would be based on a progressive formula with those earning between $45k and $60k receiving $20,000; those earning between $28k and 45K receiving $25,000; and anyone under $28,000 receiving $30,000. These low income earners would receive car vouchers every four years.

The vouchers would be funded by a $1.34 increase in the federal gasoline tax. According to Mrs. Clinton

"The real beauty of this plan is that not only does it finance itself with millions of new drivers who will be paying the gas tax, but it will allow us through mandated mileage requirements to cut gasoline consumption by an estimated 15%. This will help to reduce our dependence on foreign oil and the newer more efficient cars will help reduce greenhouse gases. And this program will create American jobs and through the voucher purchase requirements provided a much needed lift to the American Automobile industry."

When asked a question by a reporter from the Washington Post about which car companies would be approved under the voucher program, Mrs. Clinton thanked the crowd for coming and left the stage. We have not been able to confirm rumors that the reporter was fired within the hour.
