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!
>
> If you think this would work, please forward to everyone you know.
>
> If not, please disregard.

Dear Margitta,
HEEEEE RAAAAHHH! (Sorry, got a bit carried away!) We supposedly stupid conservative Americans have something very important that the left elite and their media pets seem to lack: Common Sense (Thank You, Thomas Paine!). And, Gee, We LOVE OUR COUNTRY!. By the way, Since Ms. Pelosi is reported to be worth somethin near 20 Million (not accurate, as I was too shocked to write it down), perhaps she and her fellow "career polititians" could volunteer to cut their own paychecks, and donate major amounts of cash, however they managed to make it while serving their constituants, to balancing the budgets in their home states!
Just a thought, a pie in the sky...

You forgot to mention if we close all the store that sell nothing but crap from China we would start our on revelation of by only American.. We can employ all the workers from Walmart Target and any other large chain of underpaid and under insured employees thus creating American jobs,, put a tax levy on all imports this includes even non American cars made here.. You might think that a car or truck made here, the money stays here (wrong ) if it says Honda that money goes to Japan. Kia the money goes to S.Korea!!!
Now for the Congress, My first thought is hang everyone of them, The Congress members think that they are above the American public (wrong) they are going to work for minimum wage, we should provide them with public housing and watch the property values drop around Wash.DC .
They will have to get their own insurance (this is how most of America does it).. I'll be willing to bet you don't see one of the incumbents running.. Now for the lobbyist their gone, Ever kid in America is offered some collage or trade school opportunity.. Now for the borders double fenced one electric. and if you caught in the wires your dead kill first ask questions second.. This is also with Canada, this is how a lot of your terrorist enter America their getting a double fence as well..
Stay tuned in for some more Ideas, Wait till you here about the Chamber of commerce of America they are gone to

I agree this would be a good TEMPORARY fix, but the only way to fix it PERMANENTLY is to renounce the Usurers' Federal Reserve Note currency & set up a currency of our own (i.e. terminate the Fed's funny-money scam)

40,000,000 x $1,000,000 = $40,000,000,000,000. That's $40 TRILLION.
All of the "bailouts" amounted to "loaning" out $ 700 Billion and most of the "money" has been paid back. No economy can survive simply buying stuff. At some point we have to produce goods and services that we can sell to people outside of our country. Otherwise our standard of living will take a serious fall.
We all follow traffic laws in order for all of us to have some safety on the road. When the gov't took off some of the laws about buying a house, we ended up with millons of empty houses and it will take years to recoup from that. We need laws... good laws.
The 2 wars currently underway are costing American taxpayers... $856,000...per MINUTE !!!

Here's another Ideal, quit outsourcing jobs, If the company outsources, it should have to pay more taxes for taking jobs away from the people in America

Comment by Joyce DeLynn Moulin on December 7, 2010 at 2:35pm
To the common American this would be an easy fix. If only they would listen to us... "The People"
