10 modest proposals for solving SS crisis
1. Take the warning label off of cigarettes.
2. McDonald's school lunches.
3. Listen to Rush Limbaugh a lot.
4. Subsidize SUV purchases.
5. Call a rogue nuclear state an "Axis of Evil" member and stand there like a jerk when they decide to go ballistic.
6. Emit greenhouse gases. How you do it is your business.
7. Soylent Green
8. Walk tall, big guy. Remember, you have a space shield, Jesus on your side, and the "power of pride."
9. _Minimum_ levels for arsenic in Florida and Arizona.
10. Let Bush run Social Security. No Social Security; no crisis.
