What are you waiting for?
MAKES SENSE TO ME....
This is from an article in the St. Petersburg Times Newspaper on Sunday. 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 workforce. Pay them each $1 million 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 payoff their existing mortgage - Housing crisis fixed.
It can't get any easier than that! If more money is needed, have all members of Congress pay their taxes.
If you think this would work, please forward to everyone you know. If not, please disregard.
