economy

article from st. petersburg times on sunday in response
to a request for reader's ideas on how to fix the economy.
this guy had a brilliant idea...

Dear Mr. President:
Please find below my suggestion for fixing America's economy.
Instead of giving billions of dollars to companies that will
squander the money on lavish parties and unearned bonuses, use the
following plan.

You can call it the Patriotic Retirement Plan:
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:

1) They MUST retire. Forty million job openings - Unemployment fixed.
2) They MUST buy a new American CAR. Forty million cars ordered- Auto Industry fixed.
3) They MUST either buy a house or pay off their mortgage - Housing Crisis fixed.

It can't get any easier than that!
If more money is needed, have all members of Congress and their constituents pay their taxes...

My thoughts...
this is a great plan...
unfortunately, the government's best interests represent a select group of very wealthy and powerful people. every decision they make is another step taken towards enslaving us more and more. it's a waste of time to offer up advice to our government, they only accept advice that is heavily backed financially and falls in line with their agenda to keep it's people small enough to continue fitting under their thumb.
offering good advice to these lying murderers only adds to the confusion by humoring the idea that they even care about what's best for this country. they are smart enough to realize the correct way to solve an issue, but they're not interested in that. why would they be?
if they were to solve the economy, it would be like backtracking for them. they are in the business of causing problems, not solving them.

you wouldn't offer the devil advice on how to get humans to stop sinning, would you?
it's not too different than offering the government advice on how to fix the economy.
it'd be a waste of breathe.
and these days, with carbon taxes on the rise, i think i'll save my breathe wisely.
