The Economy-Fixed!!!!!

[OldSchool]

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's about 40 million people over 50 in the work force -pay them $1 million

apiece severance with the following 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.

Can't get any easier than that!

That's way to easy. It has to be much more complicated than that:sifone:

[Sea-Dated]

That does not create enough Government is the biggest problem.....

[HiPerf2000]

That all looks good on paper.........., but then you have to add in the 40 million poeple that are over 50 living in the projects who never worked a day in thier lives. Jesse Jackson will claim they were all discriminated against by not receiving thier 1 million, and each of those people will get 2 million for thier pain and suffering. :(

That sounds good on the surface, but...

I am 51 years old (this Friday), and I will make well over $1 million dollars between now and 65. So, if I am not "allowed" to work, then it's a sh!tty deal for me.

Also, 40 million people times $1 million dollars equals $40 trillion! :eek:

Don't be clouding stuff up with facts!!! We don't need no facts!!!:rofl::rofl:

And don't forget about the loss in tax revenue. I would bet that the over-50 crowd pays over 50% of the Federal Income taxes! :eek:

I can't check the math, too many zeros......:ack2:

[Boss252]

Sorry bad math day:ack2:

[clayinaustin]

I can't check the math, too many zeros......:ack2:

1 Million = 1,000,000 (6 zeros)

1 Billion = 1,000,000,000 (9 zeros)

1 Trillion = 1,000,000,000,000 (12 zeros)

1 Million X 1 Million = 1,000,000,000,000 (6+6 zeros or 12 zeros)

40 Million x $1 Million = $40,000,000,000,000 or $40 trillion! :eek:

The "solution" only makes sense if you don't think about it! :rolleyes:

I'd rather have $1M now than work for triple that over 14 years

I was afraid someone would do that....

[Dude! Sweet!]

I say give me a trillion dollars and give me a year to spend it (or I have to give it back)... I'll show you economic stimulation Mc Hammer style! :D

Ben Franklin summed it up the best:

Any government with the power to provide everything you need, has the power to take away everything you have.
