A bailout plan I can live with:
« on: April 01, 2009, 02:53:46 PM »
Dear Mr. President,

Patriotic retirement:

There's about 40 million people over 50 in the work force; pay them $1 million apiece severance with three 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.


All National financial problems fixed!!!

At a cost of 40T?  =|

I don't think the Chinese will spot us that much.

There are five things, above all else, that make life worth living: a good relationship with God, a good woman, good health, good friends, and a good cigar.

Only two defining forces have ever offered to die for you, Jesus Christ and the American Soldier.  One died for your soul, the other for your freedom.

A character from the late Douglas Adams' book "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy". That image is a photo of the actress playing her part in the recent movie.  =)

That "bailout" plan sounds great if you're in your fifties and still working.  Not so good if you're young and anticipate paying taxes for the next few decades.
