Saving Our Country From Economic Disaster

Recently I was grazing through the Free Food Giveaway Stations at my local Costco and I was inspired to do a Blog Posting about the experience.

I started recording into my phone all the many food selections I was offered. The more I ate and the more I recorded the more I got excited about the Foolishness welling up inside of me.

I am always looking out for what I can do to divert the Good Ole USofA from its impending economic collapse and this one hit me like a bolt out of the blue (whatever that means).

First I will peck out for you the menu selections and then I will explain how Costco Can Save Our Country (I am fairly certain you will have seen it before I explain it...Or am I?)

Ø Spinach Artichoke Dip

Ø Smoked Sausage

Ø Pizza

Ø Hot Dogs

Ø Chips

Ø Cheese

Ø Hawaiian Sweet Rolls with BBQ Brisket

Ø Mango Salsa with Peach on Tortilla Chips

Ø Tortilla Rolls with Guacamole

Ø Ragu Pasta Sauce on Mozzarella Breaded Cheese Sticks

Ø Buffalo Chicken Wings

Ø Panko Chicken

Ø Crab Spread

Ø Lobster Spread

Ø Honey Multi Grain Bread

Ø Cranberry Walnut Bread

Ø Crunchy French Bread

Ø Elbow Pasta Rigatoni

Ø Skimmed Shredded Mozzarella Cheese

Ø Smoked pulled pork w roaster pineapple & habanera sauce

Ø Mild Italian sausage

Ø Sport drink variety

That's quite a mouthful! If I had had my horse with me, I could have choked him. Heck, I probably could have choked my Hippopotamus!

Since you did not see my plan (as I hoped you might) here's my plan to save the Good Ole USofA...

Instead of issuing more and more Food Stamps (aks: Snap or EBT), the Federal Government could just buy all of these needy people an Annual Costco Membership and anytime they get hungry they could mosey over to Costco and graze around until they satisfy their hunger craving.

There it is. It is really quite simple, is it not? I remain amazed at why I seem to be the only one who sees the obvious.

------------------------

I pushed my idea a little further. I called up the Food Stamp/SNAP/EBT Department in Washington D.C. and talked with a high ranking higher up. He immediately came back at me as soon as he heard my idea and said, "We could not possibly do that". 

Dumbfounded I asked why and he said, "Because that would work like a charm and would save the Federal Government a lot of money".

As a testament to how far we have been beaten down I just let it drop. I am sad to say that I understood perfectly well that he was telling me the unvarnished truth.

Would I kid u?

Lagniappe: How about some What Ifs?

Ø What if Costco could not handle the volume?
Answer: The Federal Government should tell them they had to build more stores.

Ø What if Costco started to go out of business?
Answer: The Federal Government should pass a Law telling them that they were not allowed to go out of business.

I just hope the Good Ole USofA can keep from imploding long enough to allow time for the Federal Government to fix everything.
