Sounds good to me….
This was an article from the St. Petersburg Times Newspaper. The Business
Section asked readers for ideas on “How would you fix the economy?” One guy
nailed it.
Dear Mr. President,
Patriotic retirement: There’s about 40 million people over 50 in the work force;
Pay them $1million apiece 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.

This is such a simple plan, not even the government could screw it up. But then again...
