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 are about 40 million people over 50 in the work force; pay them $ 1 million apiece severance with these 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.
4) Cost: $40,000,000,000 not 100's of billions or even trillions.
Stimulus accomplished and no increase in taxes!!!
