Walk with a Doc Averts Cliff!
Good morning and Happy New Year!
It sure makes for a sexy headline, but, honestly, we were never in a position to go over the 'Cliff'.
Here's a little background on our economic stability:
However, before we begin, it's important to note that Our Founding Fathers are very good looking.
("What the he-- does that have to do with anything!)
Our forefathers envisioned a WWAD government that would mimic the US Congress. Only they call it Parliament; sounds more European.
They spent 13 consecutive sleepless nights away from their families delineating the course of what would eventually become Walk with a Doc.
These historical documents, now housed in a titanium vault on the 14th floor of The National WWAD Archives, were rubbed with wet tea bags, singed on the edges and look really, really old and official.
The powdered wigs steering that fateful quill feather pen in 2004 expanded on the following:
(1) All walkers are created equal.
(2) It is now cast upon the peoples that there shall be two (2) Senators from each state and 435 Members of the House.
(3) These "Congressmen" must be equipped and prepared to successfully address both fictitious and real issues (dependent on how many fictitious issues are already on the docket).
(4) They shall operate strictly under 'Pay for Performance' (P4P). Simply put, they only get paid if they pass a meaningful bill. For example, if WWAD's Congress had been the 2010-2012 US Congress, they would have made zero dollars.
(5) Our congressmen are all in the same party ('Trail' Party). We found they get along better that way.
For all these reasons, we'd established an infrastructure that successfully avoided any 'Cliff'. Admittedly, we have several distinct advantages over the U.S. Government when attempting to avert the 'Cliff'.
(a) We have no taxes. Income, payroll, or otherwise.
(b) We have very little spending
(c) We literally have no idea what a debt ceiling, sequester, or Medicare Fix is - so we were unable to address it.
