sure thing economy fix

Dear Mr.President (AKA Obamalamdingdong),





Patriotic retirement:




There's about 40 million people over 50 in the work force; pay them $1 million apiece 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.

And where do you propose they get the 40 trillion dollars to do this? The math ain't too good here.

Great Plan! It just does not go far enough.

There are 300 million citizens. Let's just give everyone the same deal.

Except it would not be fair to the persons who were not fortunate enough to be citizens. Let's give all the undcoumented workers $1 million, too.

Shoot, let's just give everyone in the world $1 million!

We can pay for it by raising taxes on the wealthiest 2%. Greedy bastages.

And Look how many jobs will be created and cars will be ordered!

Even if you used a One Million Dollar bill, it would still take 300 million of them to pay everybody off.
Do you have any idea how many trees that would kill?
Al Gore would blow a gasket!

But, it would be kind of funny with everybody walking around asking,
"Hey, you got change for a million?"
