Home >> here’s an economic plan!

I’m a bit of a news junkie and am very troubled by the economy along with just about everyone else on the planet. So, I have a plan that would get our country out of this slump.

First let’s start with the CEO’s of all the major American car companies. I think they’ve finally figured out that none of us are impressed that they fly around in multi-million dollar corporate jets…now they need to sell those jets on Ebay and put the money back into the company coiffures. Maybe some filthy rich Arab could put those jets to good use. Let THEM foot the fuel bill. I’m glad to hear that the auto CEOs have offered to forgo their $30+million dollar/year paychecks. Good move! Now they need to take ALL their personal millions and buy stock in their own companies so that their own lives depended on it. Now, for all this bailout money from Uncle Sam… a big chunk needs to go into the pockets of the Garage Geniuses who have been spending night and day developing efficient cars for years. These guys with a passion for efficiency need to be hired on by the big car companies and the bailout money needs to be contingent on the success of producing their brain children…cars that get 40+mpg and cost under $25,000.

OK, my next idea is to give new home buyers and home owners alike, the option of a 30-year mortgage at 4.5%, then each and every one of us will have about $500/month more in our pockets for a car payment to buy these wonderful new and efficient cars. The scrap metal that we’ve been driving around can be recycled into new cars. TA-DA! Then all the car plants can put their people back to work, the towns would come alive, and our economy would heal…

Mr. President, whada think?
