Outsourcing the Presidency
Washington DC - Congress today announced that the Office of President of the
United States will be outsourced to overseas interests as of June 30th, the
end of this fiscal year. The move is being made to save $400K a year in salary,
a record $521 Billion in deficit expenditures and related overhead.
"The cost savings will be quite significant," says Congressman Adam Smith (D
Wash) who, with the aid of the GAO (the General Accounting Office) has studied
outsourcing of American jobs extensively. "We simply can no longer afford
this level of outlay and remain competitive in the world stage," Congressman
Smith said.
Mr. Bush was informed by email this morning of the termination of his
position. He will receive health coverage, expenses and salary until his final day of
employment. After that, with a two week waiting period, he will then be
eligible for $240 dollars a week from unemployment insurance for 13 weeks.
Unfortunately he will not be able to receive state Medicaid health insurance coverage
as his unemployment benefits are over the required limit.
Preparations have been underway for some time for the job move. Sanji
Gurvinder Singh of Indus Teleservices, Mumbai, India, will be assuming the Office of
President of the United States as of July 1. Mr. Singh was born in the United
States while his parents were here on student visas, thus making him eligible
for the position. He will receive a salary of $320 ($S$) a month but with no
health coverage or other benefits. Due to the time difference between the US
and India, Mr. Singh will be working primarily at night, when offices of the US
Government will be open.
"I am excited to serve in this position," Mr. Singh stated in an exclusive
interview. "Working nights will let me keep my day job at the American Express
call center. I always knew I could be President someday."
Congress stressed patience when calling Mr. Singh as he may not be fully
aware of all the issues involved with his new position. A Congressional
Spokesperson noted that Mr. Singh has been given a script tree to follow which will
allow him to respond to most topics of concern. The Spokesperson further noted
that "additional savings will be realized as
these scripting tools have been successfully used by Mr. Bush and will enable
Mr. Singh to provide an answer without having to fully understand the issue
itself."
Mr. Bush has been offered the use of a Congressional Page to help him write a
resume and prepare for his upcoming job transition. According to Manpower,
Inc., the placement firm, Mr. Bush may have difficulties in securing a new
position as job prospects in the Sports Franchise Ownership arena remain limited. A
recently released report from the Pentagon suggests a good prospect for him
as a newly unemployed person may be in the Army National Guard. There he would
be called up with his unit and stationed in Iraq, a country he has visited
briefly before. "I've been there, I know all about Iraq and the conditions
there," stated Mr. Bush. He gained invaluable knowledge of the country in his first
visit at the Baghdad Airport non-smoking terminal and gift shop.
Meanwhile in Baghdad and Falluja, Iraq, sources report that local Iraqis say
Mr. Bush would receive an especially warm reception from them. Such sources
stated the Iraqis only request would be to be informed of which convoy he would
be riding in order to give him the welcome he deserves.
Congress continues to explore other outsourcing possibilities including that
of Vice-president and most Cabinet positions.
