In an article from the St. Petersburg ( Florida ) Times Newspaper, the Business Section asked readers for ideas on "How Would You Fix the Economy?" This guy nailed it!
Dear Mr.President,
I propose a ‘Patriotic Retirement Plan’ PPP.
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.
