Just wanted to share this.
Read this in the comments section of Yahoo Finance.
"Subject: Economic Solution
This was an article from the St. Petersburg Times Newspaper on Sunday. The Business Section asked readers for ideas on "How Would You Fix the Economy?"
I thought this was the BEST idea....I think this guy nailed it!
Subject: Economic Solution
Dear Mr.President,
Patriotic retirement: There's about 40 million people over 50 in the work force-pay them $1 million a piece severance 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/pay off their mortgage - Housing Crisis fixed. "
Makes sense haha except it'll cost trillions. 
I don't think you can do this. Its exchanging 40milion experienced people for newbies. Quite similar to "if you want to lose weight, just cut off a leg!" Read this in the comments section of Yahoo Finance.
