From the St. Petersburg Times-Sunday edition, Business Section. They asked their readers for ideas to fix the economy. Here's one that I like the best:
Dear Mr. President:
re: Patriotic Retirement
There are 40 million people over the age of 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 - the automobile industry fixed
- They either buy a new home or pay off their mortgage - the housing crisis fixed
Sincerely,
A Fellow American
So, what do you think?
