CAPTION the Captain of Hypnosis


W: you're getting sleepy ... you will believe my history of the economy ... sleepy ... very sleepy ... now, hear this ... you will hear talk about the deficit ... we have a deficit ... we have a deficit, in part, because of the recession ... yes, it's Bill Clinton's fault ... sleepy ... your eyes are heavy ... when you have a recession, you get less money into your treasury ... when the economy slows, there's less revenue coming to Washington, D.C. ... about half of the deficit is caused by the recession that we're trying to get out of ... sleepy ... a quarter of the deficit is caused by the fact that we're spending money to defend America and giving it to Halliburton and The Carlyle Group ... about a quarter of the deficit was caused by the tax relief ... the tax relief is helping us recover from the recession ... your eyes are heavy ... very heavy ... it was needed to make this economy grow ... the best way to cut down the deficit and I've got a plan to reduce it in half in five years ... and, if you believe that ... I've got some waterfront property to sell you near Crawford ... very sleepy ...

1. Hey, we created a job just by giving this presentation!
Cause hiring someone to do this keen backdrop was cheaper than spending 10 years training me till I could use PowerPoint!

3. Looks like the words jobs, growth and opportunity are repeated
because they think they can just throw out a lot of words, have waving flags and flashing lights and pretty colors and the Murkin peoples will just look and stare like it's a Fisher-Price mobile spinning above their cribs.

5. "Listen, Karl doesn't like this idea, but he's just
a political man. Doesn't know squat about the economy. So he can't see how great this idea is. Here goes: The reason they say we have a bad economy is because there are too many poor people. If there were no poor people, it'd be GREAT. So instead of calling someone 'poor' when he makes less than $10,000 or something, let's call someone poor if they make less than, maybe, say, $100 a year. WOW! Look how fast we can get rid of poverty and help the economy, too. Why the hell didn't anyone else think og that. I gotta do all the thinking 'round here? Huh?"

6. See it takes patience if you wait out all those unemployed they'll .....
give up and quit filing for benefits. See how easy it is to have lower unemployment numbers?
