Instead of giving billions of dollars to companies that will squander the money on lavish parties and unearned bonuses, use the following plan.<\/p>\n<p>You can call it the &#8220;Patriotic Retirement Plan&#8221;:<\/p>\n<p>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:<\/p>\n<p>1) They MUST retire. Forty million job openings &#8211; Unemployment fixed.<\/p>\n<p>2) They MUST buy a new AMERICAN Car. Forty million cars ordered &#8211; Auto Industry fixed.<\/p>\n<p>3) They MUST either buy a house or pay off their mortgage &#8211; Housing Crisis fixed.<\/p>\n<p>It can&#8217;t get any easier than that!!<\/p>\n<p>P.S. If more money is needed, have all members in Congress pay their taxes..<\/p>\n<p>Mr. President, while you&#8217;re at it, make Congress retire on Social Security and Medicare. I&#8217;ll bet both programs would be fixed pronto!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A contribution from a friend: The Fix &#8230; There recently was an article in the St. Petersburg , Fl.
