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 thought this was the BEST idea..... 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!
