How to Fix The US Economy

May 22nd 2009 08:59
This is from an article in the St. Petersburg USA 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 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!
P.S. If more money is needed, have all members in Congress and their
constituents pay their taxes...

These are really nonsense, but brilliant ideas indeed, Jason! Killing three birds with one stone is definitely genius, isn't it?

I am not sure if it's a hoax Wilson but I do like the ideas in theory - it could work and that is nearly the money they have for their bail out package.
