Fixing the economy

[Guest nraforlife]

This Would Work:

This was an article from the St. Petersburg Times Newspaper on Sunday. The Business Section asked readers for ideas on "How Would You Fix the Economy?"

Patriotic retirement: There are about 40 million people over 50 in the work force … pay them $1 million apiece severance with stipulations.

They leave their jobs. Forty million job openings — unemployment fixed.

They buy new American cars. Forty million cars ordered — auto industry fixed.

They either buy a house or pay off their mortgage — housing crisis fixed.

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

But if we do that how will they get all their earmarks in!

Wrong thread.

Only problem with this "plan" that has been circulating the internet is that 40 million x $1 million = 40,000,000,000,000

That's 40 TRILLION $$$$$$$$$$$$ !

NOT $40 million as most emails subliminally lead you to believe.

Excellent math, MCurrier!

Of course, Obama would love for those 40 million to retire for a dollar apiece (40 million X $1 each = $40,000,000). Now if we could just get them to own guns, then go to Washington & say "we're mad as hell & we're not gonna take it anymore!"
