How to fix the economy.
 

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!!!

Thanks for this.

Is this Obamath?

40,000,000 x $1,000,000 = $40,000,000,000,000

That is 40 trillion dollars.

But Obama's people will say that it is less.
