How to fix the economy for 40 million

[swampwater]

Why spend trillions? Swampy
This sounds good.

This was an article from the St. Petersburg Times Newspaper on Sunday.
The Business Section asked readers for ideas on "How Would You Fix the
Economy?" I thought this was the BEST idea....I think this guy nailed it!

Dear Mr. President,
Patriotic retirement:

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

1. They retire immediately. Forty million job openings - Unemployment
fixed.

2. They buy NEW American cars. Forty million cars ordered - Auto
Industry fixed.

3. They 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…

if you're giving them all 1 mil, 40 mil would only cover 40 people

People fail to realize ... he doesn't want to fix the economy. He wants the US to be bankrupt.
