Fixing the Economy
Thanks for visiting my site again. If you are looking to improve the quality of your life, keep coming back as new content is being posted here every day.
I got the following text in an email from my brother, who is always sending me great stuff. At the end of the message it said “if you think this will help please forward to everyone you know” so I’m posting it here to share it with my readers. Needless to say I think this is from a Creative thinker who doesn’t just sit there and criticise everything and moan about what the politicians are doing wrong without having the faintest idea what should be done.
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 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….and Mr. President…while you’re at it…make congress retire on Social Security and Medicare…I’ll bet both programs would be fixed…pronto!! ”
Do you agree this is a feasible idea? then leave a comment, let’s share.
