Satire

(perspective of presidential candidate)
The problem with Americans is their laziness to work and unhealthy behavior. Our country is facing serious problems and changes need to be made. I propose a simple two step plan to fix our country.

1) American adults as well as children with a body mass index of 30 or higher are a huge problem in America causing huge health bills and an unattractive image is shown to the rest of the world. These obese people will be allowed to attend a mandatory camp where they will do physical and eat healthy food. These activities will range from mowing grass to carrying boxes all for the benefit of the government and to the wonderful American people. These lucky individuals can change their lives while helping to improve the country they love. Once they have reached a healthy weight and lifestyle (this will be determined by the officials at the camps), these laborers/citizens will be sent home.
2) A whopping 12.5 million Americans are unemployed, the overall quality of life of these people is suffering. To fix this problem, citizens seeking unemployment benefits will be whisked away to one of our many production sites and help lay gravel on roads being constructed. This will be a great experience for these individuals and they will learn many lifelong skills to help them succeed in the real world. A hard working attitude will be instilled until they reach the satisfaction of their supervisor and are sent home. Although they will not paid during this time, it WILL be a worthwhile experience that they will never regret.

*I meant this to come of as a socialist plan, not really sure if that worked though
