Plan
Dear Mr.President,
Patriotic retirement:
There's about 40 million people over 50 years old 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.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Beats the hell out of bonuses for the fat cats !!
