Grabber Posted May 7, 2009 Report Share Posted May 7, 2009 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! If more money is needed, have all members of Congress and their constituents pay their taxes... If you think this would work, please forward to everyone you know. If not, please disregard.

Stalwart Posted May 7, 2009 Report Share Posted May 7, 2009 Yeah, spend 40 TRILLION dollars as a giveaway . . . who's gonna pay for that? Sure you could just print it and then a loaf of bread will cost $100 or more. No thanks Grabber. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ejrail Posted May 7, 2009 Report Share Posted May 7, 2009 I'm in. Where do I pick up my check so I can go car shopping and call my mortgage company?? The reason this will never fly is that it is too simple. The government needs a way to get in and screw it up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That OK, your next Shelby will only cost you $500,000 - $1,000,000 after your money becomes nearly worthless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
