. . . In one easy step. Haven't verified if this a true article - but doesn't matter - it's still a great idea.
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?"
I think this guy nailed it!
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!
Personally, since I'm in the over 50 crowd - I'd say make it 2 million - still cheaper than bailing out the auto industry.
