California Governor Jerry Brown today announced that he had a plan in place to solve California’s crippling deficit problem. He plans to immediately submit a bill to the State Legislature asking for one hundred billion dollars to fund a manned spaceflight to Mars and back. Martians, Governor Brown stated, have secretly been involved in currency trading for years and have over five hundred billion dollars in US cash stored on the planet. They have graciously volunteered to give California twenty percent of that total to support peace between our planets. When the Governor was asked how he found out about this, Govenor Brown said he had been told all this by the two Martians that live in the coffee tin in the pantry in the Govenor’s mansion in Sacramento.
Update: after hearing the proposal, the Democratic led Legislature immediately voted to approve two hundred billion dollars for the project and as well as a thirty percent pay increase for teachers.
