Eel, I'm flattered to be nominated for Head Chukar Biologist for the State of Jefferson, Thanks.
BUT I would like to be considered for the Head of Economic Policy. I think I can fulfill both positions admirably. All I would have to do is de-regulate ALL businesses, especially the timber industry. Put a "REASONABLE" price on the water and electricity we send down south. I'd legalize marijuana while putting a modest tax on the growers.
While I'm at it, can I also run Health and Human Services for a few months? My vision of our welfare program would be; Monday you report @ 0800 hours, submit your urine sample for drug testing, get on the Community Work Center bus and put in a days work doing community service work and learning a work ethic.
Tuesday-Friday you spend 2 more days working in the community, one day assisting in the Child Care Facility for the other Welfare Participants and one day doing mock job interviews, learning to complete an job application and resume.
Friday afternoon, if you passed your drug test, you get one weeks pay.
Those physically and mentally handicapped will have tasks equalivent to their abilities.
Instead of playing Xbox in your govt. subsistance housing while smoking dope, you'll actually feel some self worth and hopefully become a productive member of society.
