What a good idea?!



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?" I thought this was the BEST idea. I think this guy nailed it!


Dear Mr.President,
Patriotic retirement:
There's about 40 million people over 50 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.

Pretty good idea, except for the fact that the government would end up shelling out $40 quadrillion dollars for this plan. And we though $200 billion was a lot! ;D

Give 40 million people $1 million each . . . ???

Let's look at the math . . .

40,000,000
X 1,000,000
----------------------
40,000,000,000,000​

Only 40 TRILLION BUCKS --- not like its 40 BRAZILLION BUCKS :icon_jokercolor:
