10. Carlin to the rescue, again. How to solve the national deficit. (Paraphrased) So we got these

executions going on behind closed doors in prisons. What a fukkin waste. Let's put it to some good use.

First of all, we sell tickets on a national lottery to see who gets to hit the switch, pull the lever, pull the trigger or press the buttons.
Immediately, at $10 a ticket, 1/4 of the national debt is eliminated. Who wouldn't wanna be the guy to hitch the electrodes to the prisoner's nuts.

Then, instead of behind closed doors., we set it up on H.B.O. with a pay for view, live feed of the execution. $100 a tv. And more, if ya pay the prisoner to cry and scream when the lottery winner attaches the electrodes to his nuts....like Edward G. Robinson in that 1930's movie.

And ya repeat this for every execution and there will be no need for income taxes.

It's a win...win.
