Redneck Economics


Say, old man what’s got your brow so furrowed today?

Well, Ida Red this economy has me in a dither.  Just filled the old truck with $3.30 a gallon with some part gas and corn sqeezings.  I still remember when I was 16 and pumping  gas at George Smith’s ESSO station I could fill up the mayor’s Buick DynaFlo for 24 cents a gal.  Other day I went through the 10-items-or-less line at the grocery store for $65.  Everthing is out of sight but, my income is, as they say, stagnant.  Now I read Oscammer wants to go another quad zillion or such higher in debt.  During a late night bit of communing with some adult beverages I came up with a way to turn this sucker around.  Pay attention.
The majority of the 53% that still support this country work with tools in their hand.  Right now every nut, bolt or screw is either SAE or that damn metric thing that was inflicted on the civilized world by the French.  Time was when I could look at a nut or bolt and reach into my tool box and get the right wrench. Now, it takes two or three trys to find a fit.  My idea is this:  Let’s start another cockamamie measurement system different from the current two.  We could call it OIMS (Obama Idiotic Measurement System.)  We then have the EPA, OMA, NEA or some other member of the alphabet soup of Moscow on the Potomac mandate that anything built here or imported must use all three systems.  See the beauty in this genius?  Everyone that does real work will have to buy another full set of tools.  Imagine the infusion of money into the economy and with trickle down economics everyone from tool maker’s employees to 7-11 stores will benefit.  If you want answers to any problem ask a redneck.  To see other brilliant ways to repair anything  go to this link thing on Owl Gore’s electric superhighway.

Three cheers for the southern part of the Hue Hess of Aye.
