Read something to day that got me thinking. There are about 50 million people in the US that are over 50 and still working. The government just needs to give each of the people 2 million dollars to retire as long as they pay off the home they live in or buy one and buy a new car in the next 24 months. 100 million in bail outs and it would jump start the economy. The auto, home, banking, retail, ect industries would be saved and there would be plenty of jobs for the ones under 50.
Seems simple enough.
