Poster #1:"Who was the guy who thought that we should worry about
overpopulation during the industrial revolution - one way to handle
it was to not help out the poor, let them die out. This is the
whole
survival of the fittest - the richest are the most fit to survive.
If God wanted the poor to survive, he would have placed them in a
difference socioeconomic status?"
Poster #2: "I've never heard Bush's economic plan put so succinctly!"
Once upon a time the government had a vast scrap
yard in the middle of a desert. Congress said someone may steal from it
at night, so they created a night watchman position (GS-4) and hired a
person for the job.
Then Congress said, "How does the watchman do his job without
instruction?" So they created a planning position and hired two people:
one person to write the instructions (GS-12) and one person to do time
studies (GS-11).
Then Congress said, "How will we know the night watchman is doing the
tasks correctly?" So they created a Q.C. position and hired two people,
one GS-9 to do the studies and one GS-11 to write the reports.
Then Congress said, "How are these people going to get paid?" So they
created the following positions, a timekeeper (GS-09) and a payroll
officer (GS-11) and hired two people.
Then Congress said, "Who will be accountable for all of these people?"
So they created an administrative position and hired three people: an
Admin. Officer (GM-13), an Assistant Admin. Officer (GS-13) and a Legal
Secretary (GS-08).
Then Congress said, "We have had this command in operation for one year
and we are $18,000 over budget, we must cutback overall cost," so they
laid off the night watchman.
