The Fix

The Fix. There recently was an article in the St. Peters burg Fl. Times. 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 retire. [ no negotiation ] Forty million job openings -

Unemployment fixed.



2) They [no negotiation] buy a new American CAR. Forty

million cars ordered – Auto Industry fixed.



3) They [no negotiation] either buy a house or pay off their mortgage– Housing

Crisis fixed.



It can't get any easier than that!!


P.S. then, If more money is needed, have all members in Congress pay their taxes...

Mr. President,

While you're at it, Request -Congress retire on

Social Security and Medicare. I'll bet both

programs would be fixed pronto!

If you think this would work, please forward to

everyone you know.
