From an email floating around…
Dear Mr. President,
There are about 40 million people over 50 in the work force. Pay each of them $1 million severance, with the following stipulations:
1) They must leave their jobs. Forty million job openings – Unemployment fixed.
2) They must buy NEW American cars. Forty million cars ordered – Auto Industry fixed.
3) They must either buy a house/pay off their mortgage – Housing Crisis fixed.It seems to me that it can’t get any easier than that!
Do you want me to run it across your teleprompter?
