I gotthis in an email. Sounds great!

I love this plan!!!!

This was an article from the St. Petersburg Times Newspaper on Sunday. The Business Section asked readers for ideas on "How Would You Fix the Economy?"

I thought this was the BEST idea..... I think this guy nailed it!

================================================


Dear Mr. President

Patriotic retirement:
There's about 40 million people over 50 in the work force -pay them $1 million

apiece severance with the following 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/pay off their mortgage - Housing Crisis fixed.

Can't get any easier than that!

or.. they could quit whining, settle for less, and learn what it's like not to take advantage of having it good, ('cause after all, they bitch when they have it good too), and the people who haven't had it good could step up to the plate

What? Now you sound like two-na.

Who's whining?
This plan would cost a helluva lot less than Obama's.
Why are you assuming the 40 million people have it good?
And what the hell is wrong with "having it good" anyway?

it's just another way to look at things, the grass is always greener type thing... I'm not assuming anything, I realize how hard it is for everyone... it's just in my personal experience, you know my situation, those around me who are capable of making money, always want more and more, while I know when you have less and get used to that, it just doesn't matter anymore, less is fine - I don't know, I can't wait to get out of this house today

It's not about you, it's about fixing the economy without enslaving America.
So what if they want more? Let them go out and get it. The "terrible people" who "want more" are providing for you, right?
It seems to me you have this perverse compulsion to punish people for being capable of going out into the world and earning as much as they can or want because you can't or won't.

you are so defensive that you can't even see straight, I wasn't calling anyone terrible. Der it's not about me, like I didn't know that - I was throwing my two cents in, I'm allowed

Yeah, so back to the original idea....

ok, you're right, that man's right, money's not the root of all evil, glad to be on your level again, whew, it's better here

Lori your defensive and sarcastic nature is futile.

you guys are so lit - how is giving money and spending money any different than what Obama is doing?

Obama, well actually the government that pulls his strings are giving and spending money that's pulled out of thin air instead of what's already circulating.

they may be pulling strings, but I don't see him resisting

How is it different?
$6,000,000,000,000 vs
$40,000,000
Oh, and not to mention turning this country into a socialist society.

If you spend $40,000,000, you;ll give 40 million people $1. So it has to be $ 40,000,000,000,000 ;)

And btw, this idea sounds like, why don't we give every person one million dollar. Everybody'll be rich!
Come on, this won't solve the problem, you just postpone (?) it.

Yeah, I guess you're right. We gotta think of a better one.

What do you think of another big war? Last time it solved the problem.

Not working.. we have at least two going now.

Yeah, but they're pretty small. Just with one nation. And it's with an almost invinsible enemy.
I don't want another war, but I guess it's one of the options. I hope I'm wrong.

so going back in time, so to speak, and surviving with less is out of the question? we don't seem to have much choice now do we? I love how you'll bend over for Roytje, Axil, but continue to fight me, it turns me on :) oh, I'm sorry, I was being futile again, silly me.

Roytje, are you trying to fuck my butt?

No, sir. Thanks.

Ow, haha, I see the joke now. It's late here, and english isn't my best friend.

Well alright then, now that we have that all cleared up...

lol

I really think the solution is one of two choices, pretend we're all on Little House on the Prairie(only we get to keep our computers), or the one I think more people would go for ;).. which is hurry up and stop bitching and take action by having a new Revolutionary War in this country, so at least other countries will think SOMEONE has some balls over here... and maybe we could close the borders while we're at it so no one can butt in

There's some funny shit at that site,but the old dude with the sling shot was quite impressive.

somebody please explain the relevance

Solution: The Cannibalism Plus Plan
- Feeds the poor (they can just eat themselves)
- New jobs: human based food companies, butchers, stores, distributors
- Use human byproducts for clothing, jewelery, stuffed heads and mounts
- PETA will have less to bitch about

Am I right? Who's on board? Let's do this shit!

This puts us, vegetarians, in a very precarious position.

Maybe we could eat all of the vegetarian's who donate there bodies to save animals from slaughter.

Ewwww....

Human sushi?

I've always wondered what human ribs would taste like, so sure, why not? xD

full of chemicals and disease no doubt. we put so much crap in our bodies.

Never thought about that. But pigs are the same way. And crabs, and shrimp... and well, any other animal we eat.

yes, but we concentrate it and it stays in our bodies for decades.

Oh I see. Yeah that would help.

Just add a little barbecue sauce, you'll be fine. Soylent Green is delicious!

Lol xD Hmmm maybe some A1?
