fixing the Economy

I got an email with the following article....this guy in Florida has figured it out!

Subject: Recession Cure!

This was an article from the St. Petersburg Times Newspaper.

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 are 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 or pay off their mortgage - Housing Crisis

fixed. It can't get any easier than that!

P.S. - If more money is needed, have everyone on Capitol Hill pay their

taxes...

Sounds like it would work!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
