Washington. D.C. - President Bush announced Tuesday a 'back-up plan'
if his proposed initial proposal to privatize the Social Security
system falls through,: paying off the people who have paid into the
system with lottery tickets.
"The time for change is now. We as Americans cannot wait any longer,"
said Bush in a public speech Tuesday.
"If congress will not approve a move toward privatization, I will go
to the people. And time has proven, that the American people love to
gamble. The Americann people love to win. The American people love
games. And there's no greater game, in the United States than the
State Lottery".
Bush spoke to a crowd of enthusiastic supporters.
The tickets would be handled on a state-by-state basis under Bush's
new plan.
Bush insisted that with a 'payout of 100 tickets per year' each and
every recipient has a "not insignificant chance to win and win big,
and to secure a greater and more secure future for themselves, and
their family"
Various State Lottery agencies, who were the second topmost
contributors to Bush's 2004 Presidential run, were unavailable for
comment.

Phineas, it probably wouldn't hurt to send this stuff to The Onion just
to see what happens. That's my favorite news mag, but they seem hard up
lately!
