How to fix the economy

  I Would Vote for This, how about you if you're Over 50?

  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 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!
