Math: Is it really THAT difficult?

[RocketDaryl]

This is funny. It's stupid, but funny. I received it in an email from a motorcyle email listing I'm on.

At only about $40 million, this is far cheaper than the current bailout.
I propose giving each at least 2 to 3 million which is still a drop in
the bucket.

Finally, a solid idea that probably would work.

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 are about 40 million people over 50 in the work force - Pay
them $1 million apiece severance with the following stipulations:
1. They retire immediately. 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.

It can't get any easier than that!



P.S. If more money is needed, have all members in Congress and their
constituents pay their taxes...

Trickle down economics, it'll never work Well, it worked in the 80's, but it would never work now.

Forget that, look at their math. Their math says:

40,000,000 x $1,000,000 = $40,000,000

lol

Well.. We're headed toward $40,000,000,000,000 in debt anyways.. And none of us get anything for it.. lol

40,000,000 x $1,000,000 = $40,000,000

OKAY, I admit it. I wrote the article
