Someone forwarded this to me in an email, and I liked it so much, I thought I'd share it here.
But I think I would want to increase the individual amount to $2mil, elsewise the folks that bought around here during the boom might not have much money left over afterwards :-)
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 and their constituents pay their taxes...
I love it Cheryl - that would be great...
Cheryl, That is terrific! It really can't get much easier then that....thanks for passing it along (and I hope you don't mind if I do as well :)
WOW, CJ that was wonderful, I loved it! and I would bet it would work.
One other thought: The money should be TAX FREE.
CJ,
Run for president, and I'm voting for you! Seriously!

Was reading through your blogs to find one on WordPress and GoDaddy and found this. Very good but way too simple for our government to be able to understand it. Thanks for the post.
Calvin,
Did you find what you needed on WP and GoDaddy?
