How to fix the economy............

Please find below suggestions I received in an EMail 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!

If more money is needed, have all members Of Congress and their constituents pay their taxes...

I think it's a heck of an idea............

HOW BAD IS IT?

The economy is so bad--


1. I got a pre-declined credit card in the mail.


2. CEO's are now playing miniature golf.


3. Hot wheels and Matchbox cars are now trading higher than GM cars.


4. McDonalds is selling the 1/4 -ouncer.


5. People in Beverly Hills fired their nannies and learned their
children's names.


6. The most highly-paid job is now jury duty.


7. People in Africa are donating money to Americans.


8. Motel Six won't leave the light on.


9. The Mafia is laying off judges.


10. When bank returns your check marked "insufficient funds" you
have to call and ask if they meant you or them.
