The Fix
There recently was an article in the St. Petersburg 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 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! P.S. If more money is needed, have all members in Congress pay their taxes. Mr. President, while you're at it, make Congress retire on Social Security and Medicare. I'll bet both programs would be fixed pronto!

One million dollars... after doing the requirements... it's that much money.... not necessarily a fair tax break... because it's across the board.
Secondly, it would cost more in administrative costs to make sure they were purchasing car or property. And what about people who already own a home free and clear... and have a good vehicle. Logistically... there wouldn't be 40 million job openings... because there are quite a few in this age bracket that are already retired. |

I think it's a good idea, but there would be complications. I realize the need for government, but our current one could screw up a wet dream. Besides, the congress would put so many pork-barrel riders on such a plan that they would only make things worse. Nice theory, though. I'm going to send that one to my sister. She'll get a laugh.
