Patriotic Retirement - This Would Work:

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 a piece severance with stipulations:

1) They leave their jobs. 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.

All this and it's still cheaper than the "bailout".

40 million X 1 million $ = 40 trillion $
Too expensive...

40 million X 1 million $ = 40 trillion $
Too expensive...

При нынешнем развитии печатного дела на Западе? Бумага, да. Дорогая.

Ага, а 40 миллионов налогоплательщиков неплохо потерять?
