This Explains It

Hamburgers cost $5 (give or take, depending on the toppings). Eighty five percent of the people think that's fair and buy the hamburger. Fifteen percent (who are vegetarians, prefer hot dogs, or simply aren't hungry) don't buy hamburgers.
obama thinks everyone needs a hamburger !! He thinks that everyone needs the $7.50 hamburger, which is the super special, containing things like mushrooms, onions, pickles, and a half a dozen other toppings which many people don't like or want. He declares that there is only one hamburger that people can buy; i.e., the $7.50 one !!
He also thinks some should get their hamburgers for free, or at least subsidized. Now the price of ALL hamburgers have been raised to $10 to cover the subsidized ones, like those that Congress and their staff members eat (and only pay $2.50 for their hamburgers, since we pay for 75% of theirs) !!!
Now, under political pressure, obama is telling the hamburger vendors to sell the $5 hamburger until the next election... but the vendors no longer make the $5 hamburger... and are being told by various state food regulators that the current Federal law forbids the selling of "inferior" hamburgers so they must continue to sell the $10 hamburger (it IS the law, after all !!!)
So... does this make things clear to you?

It has just been revealed to me (by the press...imagine that!!) that the new "nuclear thing" they passed yesterday will allow
the law on hamburgers to be repealed easily with a simple majority vote and we will be able to all go back to free enterprise.

Well, if you take that onion off the burger, peel it back, understand that all the confusion and chaos is intentional, you will then see that "Mickey D" goes away, and now Uncle Sam becomes the new Ronald McDonalds, the mega burger flipper for all...would you like carbon tax with your burger sir?

Only if the friends of hamburger vendors become the majority in the Senate.
