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?”
Here was the best one:
Dear Mr. President,
Patriotic retirement:
There’s about 40 million people over 50 in the work force; pay them $1
million apiece severance with three stipulations:
They leave their jobs. Forty million job openings - Unemployment fixed.
They buy NEW American cars. Forty million cars ordered - Auto Industry
fixed.
They either buy a house or pay off their mortgage- Housing Crisis fixed.
All National financial problems fixed!!!
I don’t know about you fellows, but I’m ready to step up, like Rick Wagoner, and take one for the team. Just point me to the line where I can pick up my million bucks, and I’m on my way.
I thought I read that in the next few years there will be a massive job surplus anyway due to all the boomers retiring (if they can afford it). I believe I also read that neither Canada or the US is going to be ready to handle the mass amounts of jobs that are going to be needed to be filled.
Should be interesting.
Print it? Hell just borrow it from the Chinese and we can just default later.
That’s the way to beat those commie bedwetters. Get 'em completely tied up in our bonds, then tell them we’re going to default, say to them “hey…what are YOU going to do about it?” and just walk away.
Only problem I see with that option is that there are 1.3 billion of them, and only 300 million of us and a much larger percentage of them are male :-).
I know how pissed I get when a “customer” bones me, I’m not sure I can take on 4.3 angry Chinese dudes.

It is a good thing Jack Bauer is on our side! He’d have this problem solved by noon.
