"State of the Union"

State of the Union
What wasn't said.
Hello American voters, not to be confused with Corporations (fictitious
entities), who don't vote, but to whom I transferred the country's wealth.
Most of the country's really big problems have been solved by transferring
the US cash surplus, generated by that contemptuous womanizer, to my
corporate (not registered voters) friends and supporters. I ask the
voters to bear up under the strain, as the loss of funds for state
projects has been the small price to pay to support American Corporate
icons. The increase in property taxes that will be required in every
state because of the loss of Federal funds is a temporary condition, and
we will remedy that by making it a permanent condition of the foreseeable
future. American voters have shouldered the burden of energy price
increases and can expect this condition to be made permanent as well.
It has only been by Herculean efforts that these energy prices have
been maintained. Economies worldwide have been going in the dumper,
producing less, using less, transporting less, and generally using much
less energy. Our foresight in purchasing 50% more energy for the
Pentagon and additionally filling the Strategic Petroleum Reserve at
the same time has actually been able to cause increases in the energy
prices. This accomplishment in the face of a worldwide drop in demand
that could have caused oil prices to fall to $10/barrel. Again I ask
the voters (not the fictitious entities) to bear up under the strain as
the underlying cost of producing anything or moving anything goes up with
these energy prices. Take heart American voters. It's been my experience
that anytime I've been able to run a company into the red, I've make a
large personal profit, and I don't expect this situation to be any
different. Big country, big profit. As American voters peruse our
International strategy, they will see clearly now that we have a coherent
policy regarding the rest of the world. We shall endeavor to acquire
natural resources worldwide, oil, for example, for the benefit of our
Corporate icons (they don't vote). Yessir, "the business of America is
business." Take heart, American voters. I run the country like my
corporations, and it's been very good for me. To those worried about
a return to a "cold war" mentality, I would like to point out the fact that
cold wars are very profitable. They are, however, not as profitable as
hot wars, but I can personally accomplish that objective. To those
that feel the government is nibbling in their wallets, I say, "open those
wallets, because the Corporate icons (they don't vote) need all the
support they can get, and it's a small price to pay, along with the
property taxes and the energy prices, etc., to be an American voter,
not to be confused with a Corporate icon (who doesn't vote).
