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's about 40 million people over 50 in the work force -pay them $1 million apiece severance with the following stipulations:
- They leave their jobs. Forty million job openings - Unemployment fixed.
- They buy NEW American cars. Forty million cars ordered - Auto Industry fixed.
- They either buy a house/pay off their mortgage - Housing Crisis fixed.
Can't get any easier than that!

This gag is really making the rounds...
Once you buy the car, then buy that house for $100k-$1 million or more, depending on where you live, there's not too much to cover your expenses for the next 25 or 30 years you'd expect to live!
40 million times $1 million would be $40 trillion, by the way.
The entire US gross domestic product is only $13.84 trillion recently.
Either the guy who suggested this is extremely ignorant or has a helluva sense of humor!
