Got this email. What do you think about this plan?
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: = 40 billion (drop in the bucket)
-
They MUST retire. Forty million job openings - Unemployment fixed…
-
They MUST buy a new American CAR. Forty million cars ordered - Auto
Industry fixed. -
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!
If you think this would work, please forward to everyone you know.
If not, please disregard.
