Here's an idea!.......discussion welcome!

A friend emailed me this:

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 people 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!


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

Now that made me think about it!! - KT

good idea dude,
It makes sense, especially in New Zealand,
there are a lot of old people in New Zealand,
people take their entire superannuation and remake their lives,
the fact is if you don't like it you just take the gas and go,
