"Patriotic Retirement Plan" - A Common Sense Plan That So Simple, Why Didn’t I Think Of It?


"Patriotic Retirement Plan" - A Common Sense Plan That So Simple, Why Didn’t I Think Of It?



By Dell Hill

There recently was an article in the St. Petersburg , Fl. Times. The
Business Section asked readers for ideas on: "How Would You Fix the
Economy?" I think this guy nailed it!

Dear Mr. President,

Please find below my suggestion for fixing America 's economy. Instead
of giving billions of dollars to companies that will squander the money
on lavish parties and unearned bonuses, use the following plan.

You can call it the "Patriotic Retirement Plan":

There are about 40 million people over 50 in the work force. Pay them
$1 million apiece severance for early retirement with the following
stipulations:

1) They MUST retire. Forty million job openings - Unemployment fixed.

2) They MUST buy a new AMERICAN Car. Forty million cars ordered - Auto Industry fixed.

3) They MUST either buy a house or pay off their mortgage - Housing
Crisis fixed.


It can't get any easier than that!!

P.S. If more money is needed, have all members in Congress pay their
taxes!!

Mr. President, while you're at it, make Congress retire on Social
Security and Medicare. I'll bet both programs would be fixed pronto!
