The Fix
There recently was an article in the
St. Petersburg , Fl. Times.
The Business Section
asked readers for ideas on: "How Would You Fix the
Economy?" I think this guy nailed it!
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 pay their taxes.
Mr. President, while
you're at it, make Congress retire on Social
Security and Medicare. I'll bet both programs would be fixed pronto!
