Could it also work here?

This is from an article in the St. Petersburg , FL Times Newspaper on Sunday.

  

  The Business Section asked readers for ideas on "How Would You Fix the Economy?"

  

  I think this guy nailed it!

  

  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.  

 

  4)  They MUST buy their own health insurance.

Health Plan for seniors just 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...

 

I'm up for it lol  ;D ;D

[chickadee]

If David Cameron wants to make me the same offer next year i will happily accept  ;D

 

I thought you were ready to retire when we spoke to you at Blackpool

[chickadee]

 

I am but 1 million from the conservative government to do so would be all the sweeter.

 

Either that or i could just become a MP and make even more for less work!

 

I am.... retired or ready to retire

 

And there is no such thing as a conservative goverment and I hope there never will be, long live labour the lesser of two evils

The SNP or better known as the Scottish Tories may just do it for them, a world wide recession and Gordon still gets the blame for causing it. Bring back Scargill and red Mick

Yep, they are only desperate to get in power and once they are in they will be back pedalling like circus monkeys and Labour will still get the blame   :(

Yes but Labour is the lesser of two evils :-/

[Guest Freebird]

I think ToRy Blair destroyed the labour party. They are all the same, all mouth and no action. Here we are in 2009 and I'll bet there will be auld yins dying this winter 'cause they cant afford to heat the hoos. Disgracefull. Don't incourage them. Don't vote.

The country would never have voted old Labour so although he was a bit of a ToRy Blair he gave them the best chance they ever had, I remember working as a nurse under the Tories and they think it is bad now just wait till they back in power, every man and woman for themselves again :(

Better the devil you know than the devil you don't. But your right the U.K. would'nt have voted the true Labour party in. Still can't get my head round working class folks voting tory??? Thier long gone relatives will be turning in thier graves.

Agree with Chickadee, by far the lesser of two evils.

Camera man David has already said he will do away with the NHS. Indeed a few times now and it’s glibly slides over ones head.

- Thatcher said 'If one can't afford Medical fees then they want to budget their household better.... Besides there was no NHS 100 years ago and we all got along just fine then  :-/

Was the arrow that finished her I believe ... not before time and that's for sure.

Just where does one think all the other cuts are coming from   :o the working class and that's for sure. Tories stand for Unemployment and war - though via Thatcher disbanded the our equivalent to S.E.C that most put into place after America did and we followed suit ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/U.S._Securities_and_Exchange_Commission ) that cause the credit crunch after giving the banks a free hand in investment, which had the knock on effect that greed does. Yet Gordon is taking the blame for a WORLDWIDE crunch instigated by Thatcher.

However, just to keep the NHS is more than suffice to keep the Camera man out.

I see the banks are moaning again to have restraints removed stating again like Thatcher spouted. We are more than capable of running out banks etc. .... just get a few £billion ready to bale us out again.

Look how Thatcher stopped training Doctors and dentists etc. and how some of us had to travel 70 - 120 miles with a tooth ache and a dentist. How it was First to phone in early morning only, if lucky with and for an emergency .... And Thatcher spouting 'People have always had toothaches, live with it, or take out an insurance policy. GO PRIVATE’!

Just look at the Tories in the USA moaning and marching to block Obama's Care Bill

Stuff you Jack I'm alright. Get a Job etc. As if one with decent wages were every where just to be had for the asking!

Yep the NHS alone – the envy of the world – alone is enough to keep camera Man out.

Baby’s / Hip replacements / all operations and medical ours as a right whether we can afford or not …. 85% or more couldn’t I’d bet.

Yes I remember when i had to take both my boys up inside a week to the Hospital and one having to stay in for a few days. Nurses  / kinder garden etc. cared for them day and night. Always 1 or 3 on the ward.

In 1984, under the Tories and Thatchers cut backs because she'd given all the wealth and silverware to her cronies - I had to take my daughter in. You wouldn't believe the change. One nurse in the day time. One nurse for 3 wards at night - where she had to have a chinese delivered because there was no kitchen open etc.  there was not toys or books for the kids unless you brought them in. You had to stay with you child 24 / 7 Talk about Peadiphile haven. Public moaning at her all the while why wasn't she taking care f THEIRS .... Simple really, because most of them had voted Tory.

Yes I agree that the children are the parents responcibilty, but the drastic cut backs were way over the top and not needed.... especially if she hadn't given all the coffers to her mates.

No let the Canera man smile and agree to everything. Be nicer out side of saying 'Cut backs' THAT ARE FAIRER -like the Poll Tax I guess, and take out insurance for medical care etc. etc.
