M., a brown hound in Richland WA asks, "Mr. President, how will you solve the nation's healthcare crisis?"
Well, M., this is an important issue and deserves a lot of thought.
(pause)
Done thinking now. The answer is simple. Two words, in fact: Spay and Neuter. Well, that's 3 words, I suppose, but only 2 of them are important to the plan. And really, who's counting? Our healthcare system is over burdened. Our social support systems are too. In our little tri-city area, Animal Control has 85 dogs and 177 cats in the system. Yikes. Maybe we should pay more attention to counting. How can we possibly make sure that all those pets and others get the care they need? Overpopulation control. That's my answer.
M., from Richland responds, "Um, Mr. President? I was actually asking about the healthcare crisis for people."
Oh. No problem. Same answer.
S., a tricolored terrier from Richland WA asks, "Mr. President, can anyone ever be as cool as you?"
No. Never.
S., from Richland WA shouts, "I did not ask that!! Don't you dare publish that!!"
Thank you for your question, S. Yes, I do like cheese. That's all the time I have for questions today. Thanks for coming!
