This Guy Nailed It!

This article appeared in the St. Petersberg Times Newspaper. The Business Section asked readers: "How Would You Fix The Economy?" This guy nailed it!

------------
Dear Mr. President,

Patriotic retirement: There's about 40 million people over 50 in the work force; pay them $1 apiece with stipulations:

1) They leave their jobs. 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.

4) They would probably use the rest to put in savings - Banking problem fixed.

Much cheaper than the trillions being ineffectively spent on the financial industry.

I would add a fifth: Entrepreneurship.

With entrepreneurship you have an excellent way to:
  • Create your own economy
  • Make a positive difference in other people's lives
  • Diversify – When your direction changes, perhaps because your clients’ needs change, make the change with minimum problems
  • Be independent – take a vacation when YOU want to
  • Enjoy a measure of security – your job is not dependent on someone else’s whim
