Look's that way

From the President WHITE HOUSE

Dear Citizens,
Due to the current financial situation caused by the slowdown in the economy, I have decided to implement a new scheme to put workers, 50 years of age and above, on early retirement. This scheme will be known as RAPE (Retire Aged People> Early). Persons selected to be RAPED can apply to Congress to be considered for the SHAFT program (Special Help After Forced Termination). Persons who have been RAPED and SHAFTED will be reviewed under the SCREW program (Scheme Covering Retired-Early Workers). A person may be RAPED once, SHAFTED twice, and SCREWED as many times as I, President Obama, deem appropriate. Persons who have been RAPED or SCREWED could get AIDS (Additional Income for Dependants & Spouse) or HERPES (Half Earnings for Retired Personnel Early Severance) Obviously persons who have AIDS or HERPES will not be SHAFTED or SCREWED any further. Persons who are not RAPED and are staying on will receive as much SHIT (Special High Intensity Training) as possible. I have always prided myself on the amount of SHIT I give our citizens. Should you feel that you do not receive enough SHIT, please bring this to the attention of your Congressman, who has been specially trained to give you all the SHIT you can handle.

Sincerely, President Barack H. Obama
