Some of you have probably already heard about Republican Senate candidate Sue Lowden and her brilliant proposal that people should barter for their health care. She suggested chickens as one form of currency. Naturally, I started wondering how many chickens I’d have to have on hand to pay for my 24-hour nursing care. My condo isn’t that big, so I’m not where I would put the coop. And what if one of my nurses is a vegetarian? How many eggs equal one chicken? And can I pay for my ventilator on the chicken-installment plan or is it going to set me back a couple goats?
Keep thinking those big ideas, Republicans.
What happens when you need to take your chickens to the veterinarian?
Will eggs in your refrigerator be your lay-away plan?
Awesome post Mark!
