The new "outside the box" way.
I have figured out how to support our troops by armoring their humvees and stimulate the economy before Christmas!
The problem with getting enough armor to Iraq was a logistical problem according to Mr. Rumsfield. That is because he was thinking "the old way." I have a new way to do it, lets call it the American patriot act of 2004. All the people who have the big yellow magnetic ribbons on their vehicles can send them to Iraq and we will use them on the humvees! What a fantastic idea. I know they will want to do it because they do after all "support out troops." And the time it would take to install the armor? Hey, they are magnetic! You just slap them on and they stick! Instant armor! So we know what patriots these people are who have sacrificed their ribbons, the government can provide them with new bumper stickers stating "I have actually done something to support our troops by sacrificing my yellow magnetic ribbon" plus they will be eligible for a $1000 tax credit for each ribbon. The economy will be stimulated by the extra tax credits plus the new government jobs created to produce the new bumper stickers in the new government agency created to run the program. Did I mention we will have a new cabinet level office of rush armor? I just need to think of the acronym for this office to formally propose it.
