Patriotic Retirement

[left as a comment by Lost Goddess, from a friend of hers. I thought it was interesting, so I am posting 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 the following stipulations:

1. They retire immediately. 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.


It can't get any easier than that!

P. S.. If more money is needed, have all members in Congress and their constituents pay their taxes…
