Bush finds gold in graveyard!

Most economists have been emphasizing the economic drain on the US economy represented by the five year fiasco in Iraq. With death toll reaching 4,000 and the death benefit at $500,000 each, worst President ever Bush announced a new economic stimulus plan.

"You may have heard of the death tax but this is the death asset", Bush explained to an assembly of war widows and VFW members, "We finally have something coming in from Iraq besides body bags!"

Bush retracted his calculations from early on in this week: "I figured that four thousand dead at $4.50 a body bag was not a big deal compared to oil at $110 per barrel but when I pulled out my abacus and did the numbers the new death asset makes oil look as valueless as mother' milk!"

The funny story above is a satire or parody. It is entirely fictitious.
