What do you think?

President Barack Obama has pledged to pay off the US’s estimated $11trillion debt by merely “playing a shit-ton of Rock Band on Expert” and using the money his band makes virtually to pay off the debt. Your Thoughts?

Garbara Bray, Economist, Arizona: “Preposterous. The President, like the general population, merely needs to understand that the most cost-effective way of doing anything is by forcing the marginal cost to approach 0. This can be best accomplished by mass producing products of high utility to most [editor’s suggestion: Disney Animal Crackers] and simply extorting China into buying them.”

Zachary Mark Beauregard Besich, Crane Operator, Outta this World: “My suggestion, subsidize a world-wide free trial of World of Warcraft. This is what would happen: people would forget about real money, thus transferring the Worldwide Currency System to the “Gold” Standard of WoW, making me quite happy, even if William Jennings Bryan would hiss in his grave.”

Lauren Van Bueno, Student, Texas:“I love Rock Band. I just hope eminent domain doesn’t apply to Band names; I’m sure the President has his eye on my band name: 'Barack and the Husseins.’”

Ezro Spira, Senior Prosecutor, Arizona: “ We got this guy to plead to Murder 2. Im sure with a little evidence tampering China can be convinced into admitting we have paid all of our debt. Else I might have to go medieval on their heiney.”

John J. Johnson, My Sim, LOLville: “Thank god I’ve only got between 2 and 4 SimDays to live, as an International Super Spy, I wouldn’t want to have to clean up the President’s messes. Plus, what is this ‘Rock Band,’ and is it ‘Social’ or ‘Fun’?”

Levi Wofl, Famed Talking Point Person, Germany: “I don’t think ‘Rock Band’ is really the best way to fix our debt. We really should just use Ro-Sham-Bo or something sophisticated like that. That’s how it’s done in the Senate. And on the Street.”

Wolfgang, Unknown, California: “Rock Band is like macaroni and cheese. After a while, its just not so great. I think we should churn out USA hats and just go crazy. Plus, we all know the President won’t be able to play Expert, he just doesn’t have the hairdo required. (I can be used as a model for the perfect Rocker hair style.)”

As for this editor, I think we should just add a zero to all of our currency. Since no one would notice, inflation would be of no consequence. As my favorite twin once said, “ I’m just gonna go get an apple. I’m sure the market will sort out the rest.”
