Here's how everything gets fixed for 120 million dollars.
There are 40 million people in the U.S. over 50. Give them 3 million dollars each with the following stipulations:
1. They must retire. This creates conservatively 20 million job openings. Unemployment is fixed.
2. They must pay off their mortgages and credit cards up to $600,000. Banking crisis fixed.
3. If they do not own homes they must buy one. Housing crisis fixed.
4. They must trade in their cars and buy new american cars with low gas mileage.
Auto crisis fixed, and global warming is slowed.
Once on medicare they must buy really good supplemental insurance. Portion of health care fixed.
Good plan in THEORY, DT, until the following happens:
1. The corporation they work for decides that this is a wonderful way to downsize, and refuses to fill the positions.
2. Knowing the greedy nature of men, they immediately blow $500K on strippers and booze instead of paying down debt.
3. Chevy Malibu Hybrid be damned! These guys are over 50! They want a 'vette!!!
