This is from an article in the St. Petersburg Times Newspaper on Sunday.

The Business Section asked readers for ideas on "How Would You Fix The Economy?"

Dear Mr. President,

Please find below my suggestion for fixing America's economy.

Instead of giving billions of dollars to companies that will squander the money on lavish parties and unearned bonuses, use the following plan. You can call it the Patriotic Retirement Plan:

There are about 40 million people over 50 in the work force. - Pay them $1 million apiece
severance for early retirement with the following stipulations:

1) They MUST retire.. Forty million job openings - Unemployment fixed.
2) They MUST buy a new American CAR. ...Forty million cars ordered - Auto Industry fixed.
3) They MUST either buy a house or pay off their mortgage - Housing Crisis fixed.

It can't get any easier than that!

P.S. If more money is needed, have all members in Congress and their constituents pay their taxes...

 

sounds like a plan to me
marcel

 

40,000,000 people times $1,000,000 equals $40,000,000,000,000

That's, uh, forty trillion dollars.







That money might be better spent teaching random people on the Internet how to use a calculator.

 

Sounds in line with everything else NObama is doing....
