Quote of the Day: Dear President Obama, I have an idea for fixing the economy…

Leave it to your average American to come up with a solution for some of our economic troubles that makes more sense and is less destructive to the country than anything the President’s Ivy League brain trust will ever come up with:
Patriotic retirement: There are about 40 million people over 50 in the work force … pay them $1 million apiece severance with stipulations. They leave their jobs.
Forty million job openings — unemployment fixed.
They buy new American cars. Forty million cars ordered — auto industry fixed.
They either buy a house or pay off their mortgage — housing crisis fixed.

How about that, we would actually save trillions in place of the “let’s bankrupt America” plan in place now.
Of course, this won’t be considered for two big reasons, it helps average Americans and not the power base. And it makes common sense, something not common in most blue state.
And for those of your familiar with politics, especially Chicago-style politics where corruption and quid pro quo politics are the norm, you will see the obvious benefit to the President, he’s buying off millions of the American public and ensuring a few votes for 2012 he will not get if he continues on the meandering, aimless path he has us on now.
On the job training is a bitch, isn’t it, Mr. President? Ya should have prepared better by working some real jobs instead of speechify’ing your way through life.
