Giving Congressional Democrats the Outplacement Help They Deserve

Sure, it’s been a great for those of us fighting Big Government, but since it’s the Christmas Season, have you given any thought to helping the less-fortunate? Has anyone given a thought to all those poor Democratic congressman and staffer who just lost their jobs?

Iowahawk has, and he’s provided a handy outplacement guide for those unfortunates voters have recently retired:

In order to land that good job back in your home district, you first need to understand the ins and outs of the non-Washington economic system. Unlike Washington’s easy-to-understand system of leveraging raw unbridled rulemaking and police power to extract tribute from fearful and/or favor-seeking constituents, non-Washington industries are largely based on the production of “goods” or “services.” It sounds complicated, but the basic idea boils down to making things or doing things that other people will pay for. The complicated part is to remember that they must pay for them voluntarily.

That’s Iowahawk for you: Always looking out for the unfortunate.

God bless us each and every one.
