How to fix the economy
- Thread starter FISHSHROD
- Start date
you understood my post perfectly!
well have to say that alot of over 50 people are alot more in shape mentally and physically than alot of under 50's
well... it acctually seems like a hell of a lot better plan than Osama (ehhem.. ) excuse me.. OBAMA has up his sleeve...
I see a couple of flaws though...
1- wouldnt the 40 trillion dollars in additional debt cause some problems?
2- can we legally "FORCE" someone to leave their job at 50? I mean granted a lot of them would be happy to leave because they are getting a million dollars.. but if enough of them dont leave their posts.. we have paid a buncha people a LOT of money and the plan failed.. killing the economy even more
3- you may be opening a lot of jobs up... but who is to say these jobs are entry level? and who is to say there is enough educated people looking for jobs in these particular fields to fill them? I mean your not opening up 40 million jobs at jack-in-the-box here!
also... not really a problem but more of a thought....
WOULDNT THAT SUCK IF YOU WERE 49 1/2 YEARS OLD WHEN THEY DID THIS!! lol

Uh, yah...
Not so much forcing, as saying, hey, I will offer you $1M if you retire tomorrow. Take it or leave it.
No, but most companies have some sort of heirarchy of internal promotion. If my boss retired tomorrow, there are plenty of people within who would be capable of taking his place. Just keep moving people up one section until you ARE left with an entry level position.
you should just start your post with "another petulant right wing opinion." I expect the Obama/Osama joke from someone about the level of a 4th grader. I'm just curious, if Obama's plan is so bad, why as the DOW gone up almost 800 points over the last couple weeks? I'm not for everything this President is doing, but wanting him to fail is cutting your nose off to spite your own face... and BY THE WAY, I have yet to hear one of his critics offer a single alternative solutution (tax cuts not the answer to everything??? gasp)
ok...
FIRST OFF... I never said that I wanted him to fail-- I would like just as much as the next guy to see him succeed-- after all I DO live here as well
Secondly... I didnt say that his plan was horrible- I think it will be effective for a while, but I dont think it is the ultimate solution to the problem- and as was already stated it pretty much revolves around "PRINT MORE MONEY!!" which isnt the solution to anything... not in the longrun at least
We have had many recessions/depressions in this country before and we always pull out of them-- they all start with people having the same attitudes as we do now.. thinking it will never change.. and then TIME HEALS
printing more money is just gonna screw us in the longrun... as is sending everyone free money! (not saying I dont enjoy my stimulus check.. but still its not good)
I dont hate Obama.. and I was only joking about the Osama thing.. I think he is a hell of a lot better choice for us than Bush was by far- and I would rather see him in office than McCain. Truthfully there will always be someone out there that hates the president simply because he is the president and he cant fix everything with the wave of a hand. I am not that guy
but I do think that there is better solutions to the problem then throwing everyone monopoly money (basically what it is.. paper with pretty pictures- not worth jack and nothing to back it up).. and if your gonna do it that way at least do it right (like the topic of this thread... not a horrible idea if carried out right)
