FIX THE ECONOMY

Mr. Obama,

Patriotic retirement:

There's about 40 million people over 50 years old in the work force - pay them each $1 million apiece severance with 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/pay off their mortgage - Housing Crisis fixed.

And it only costs taxpayers 40 million dollars!!!


I'll venture to bet it would also help the hobbying community as well!!

Um, 40 million people, multiplied by 1 million apiece, is NOT only 40 million.
That would be 40,000,000,000,000. 40 million million.
What's that - 40 quadrillion?

Actually, it is 40 trillion.

A bit out of reach but given the current administration&#39;s predilection for spending obscene amounts of money, not impossible.

PB...

I like the avatar. That is a great comic strip.
