"How Would You Fix the Economy?"

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?" This article was one of the ideas submitted...

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:

1) They leave their jobs. Forty million job openings - Unemployment fixed.

2) They buy NEW American cars. Forty million cars ordered - Auto Industry fixed.

3) They either buy a house/pay off their mortgage - Housing Crisis fixed.


Can't get any easier than that!

I would give a tax brake to those who work for a living. I would TRY to fix well fair. I would cut feel good spending. No more free rides. I would work on the immigration issue.

That first idea is ok but I anit 50 yet, , but they could have given all tax paying home owning, working people 250,000 tax free $ each, then we could go out pay off home's, buy cars, trucks, boats, etc. With the stipulation that money is to used to pay off mortage first. I would also send every illegal back, and if they want back they have to do it right. I have another idea but it might not be good for the board.

I wonder if that 40 million includes Politicians? If so then it would work for sure!!! Get the old blood out and start over. Ain't that knucklhead of a Pres over 50? If not lets just pull up that fake document Birth Certificate and change the date!

That's it Mr Dasher has the answer. Fire every last stinking one of them on the same day. In fact let's fire Pelosi, Reid and Dodd and then hire them back and make them think we made a big mistake. The minute they move all their stuff back in their offices and get settled in let's rush in and say April Fool's you really are fired now get OUT! I think it would just add to the fun of firing ''The Three Stooges'' at the same time. Then we will start from scratch with normal everyday common folks that aren't already RICH, yes I do feel that is part of the problem. They get one year and if they are 'stuck on stupid' we fire their butts and start over. Yea, this and that free money bail out and we are all set, I like my little idea, thanks for planting the seed Don, lol.

Sounds alright to me but how many millions would you have screaming where's mine, I'm not 50, this isn't fair................ btw I have a little ways to go before I hit 50.

40 million x 1 million = 40 trillion.

And some of you guys were complaining about a measly 800 billion!

40 million x 1 million = 40 trillion.
