Subject: Economy Easy Fix
This is from an article in 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 :

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 pe ople 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 and you would have money left over from
The idiotic give-aways like TARP now in force!

If more money is needed, have all members of Congress and your cabinet
pay their taxes ....
