I was checking my email today and a friend of mine sent me a real goodie that I just had to pass along to everyone! ... now you may or may not know but billions of dollars we had to borrow have been given to banks and other corporations to bail them out and supposedly kick start the economy .. well I can’t print my opinion here .. must be kind .. so I’ll just keep that to myself (grin) ...

so my friend sends me this email and omg it’s the best most best bailout idea I ever heard lately or ever actually (grin) ... so what’s this great deal …

well .. there are about 40 million americans 50 yrs and older. many living in abject poverty or pretty darn close .. many are still working and not out of choice … so …....

what if we gave each of those 40 million (ok that includes me too (grin)) .. well we give them 1 million dollars each …..... ok I’ll wait until you stop laughing lol …...

this is not without conditions … and what are they? (you’ll like this (grin))

ok the conditions …. you get the money IF you agree to the following …

#1 you immediately quit your job .. no more working .. you are retired .. you can start your own business or continue it but you no longer can work for anyone else

this will open up at least (my guess) ten million jobs for the unemployed and make the lives of elders who work not by choice much happier

#2 you must purchase a new vehicle from an american manufacturer within a short time after receiving the cash (six months?) .. for those who have no need for a vehicle for themselves must either purchase one for a friend or relative or neighbor or a complete stranger or donate one to charity.

this will give a real boost to the american car manufacturers .. and makes more sense than giving them billions of dollars to prop up their businesses that really hasn’t and dare I say won’t do much to help us. will also help a lot of elders who couldn’t afford a donkey cart much less a vehicle ….

#3 you must either pay off your mortgage in full or buy a new residence to live in

you can see what this will do to help the construction industry … and for those of us that live in old mobile homes with leaky roofs and poor insulation etc. it would be a godsend …

#4 you must place at minimum 500 thousand dollars of this cash grant into either a local bank or local credit union and leave it in there for a specified length of time (6 months? year?) ... unless needed to fulfill requirement #5 or something catastrophic happens to you or your dependents

it’s been said that the big banks are too big to let them fail … I say bigger is definitely NOT better … local support is what is important .. just think what those deposits can do to further development in your community!

#5 you must pay in full all bills owed on your credit cards.

why pay the terribly high rates on unpaid balances for credit these days. pay them off .. buy with cash … save money and why not pay off all your bills while you’re at it (grin) .. owe no one .. that’s always a good thing (smile)

#6 you must purchase health insurance for you and your dependent family and spouse.

prevention is less costly than the cure .. this will also help with the failing medicare situtation too and put your health back into your control again

well … there’s the plan .. the details like how to track if the stipulations are met need to be thought out … and oh yes there will be some who just won’t follow them … but generally speaking most people are honest and it would be a windfall for the older generation and helping everyone … and most specifically it is more likely to stimulate the economy than bailing out the banks and large corporations …

so whatcha think? I’ve added a few stipulations that weren’t in the email from my friend .. possibly more could be added … but whomever thought of this first if I knew who I’d thank them profusely (big smile)

I was chatting with another friend today about this and he wanted the info he could email the president with it and you know what .. I thought that was such a fantastic idea that I’d encourage everyone, if you like this plan, to do the same!! let’s give Obama a plan that would benefit us all!! ..... will you? (smile) ..
