The Fix

Not much to say.So I posted a couple of things for you to read or get a chuckle.
Happy Sunday Peeps
Now I am sounding like them.LOL







The Fix

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 with no taxes due on it, 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!

If you think this would work, please forward to everyone you know.

If not, please disregard.

Instead of bailing out all these companies I think they should've just paid every citizens debt..so they owed nothing. Start everyone off with a clean slate..of course it'd be a one time deal.

They don't deserve their perks. Politics are for the wealthy.

That is for sure on that.

Sounds like a plan.

Maybe.

Politicians are the "royalty" and the lowly taxpayers are the "serfs" and as you know from history, royalty only csres about how much blood they can squeeze from the peasants.

gotcha.Always the lower people.

I really wish that members of Congress weren't catapulted into the elite just by being elected. No wonder they spend so much getting there, once in, they are set for life.

That is for sure on this.
