How to Save The USA

[Hari]

I received the following in an email from someone. I think it is fascinating how clearly some people think and how simple real solutions are compared to the insanity that plagues the world today:

"This was in an article in the St. Petersburg Times Newspaper recently.

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 are about 40 million people over 50 in the work force;
pay them $1 million a piece 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 or pay off their mortgage- Housing Crisis fixed.

All this and it's still cheaper than the "bailout"."
