Why wouldnt this work ? Economy fixed !!

[GOLDENGREEK]

got this email -- it sounds brilliant - what an I missing ?



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!

If more money is needed, have all members of Congress and their constituents pay their taxes...

I qualify for that but they need to make it $5Mil!!

40,000,000 x $1,000,000 = 40,000,000,000,000

That's 40 trillion dollars!?!?!

I think he's on to something, but a Million dollars is nothing today.

[meaiken]

40,000,000 x $1,000,000 = 40,000,000,000,000

That's 40 trillion dollars!?!?!

That's why it wouldn't work.

[jcheckers]

That's why it wouldn't work.

I still want $5Mil!!

40,000,000 x $1,000,000 = 40,000,000,000,000

My thoughts exactly, and also why i think it's obvious it wouldn't work. Talk about digging a deeper hole .......

Also, paying people to stop working is totally against what America stands for. IMO.

I would love for them to pull ALL Welfare ... Let's see what would happen then ....

Me too Joe. It sickens me to see people have kids just to sit on their ass all day. When times are tough, have another kid and your monthly check goes up.

Others have no kids, they are just lazy pieces of shit. Just sickening ........

The only bad part about pulling welfare, is people we know would get layed off to make room for these people
