Why not use the stimulus package to voluntarily retire people over 50 that are still working?

40 million used cars in the market would flood the used car market Most would already own a home 40 million more homes on the market

Most would be in top management 40 million jobs filled by inexperienced kids

The divorce rate is a little high already in this age group it would sky rocket

But drop it a few years and lets see how it works i well send a weekly report from Bangkok

Because that would be age discrimination in its purest form. And there would be a whole host of legal problems with that. First of all, you can't force people to buy American cars because then other countries will retaliate with similar policies, and protectionism won't solve anything. And what if they don't need a house? There will be a bunch of empty houses owned by old people, and that will make the housing market worse. Not to mention, there's no way a 50 year old can survive on a million dollars for the rest of his life.

I believe you asked this question earlier, and as someone else pointed out then, 40 million people * $1 million each = $40 trillion dollars. Do you have $40 trillion under your mattress that you could lend to the US to pay for your plan, because nobody has that much money. The total GDP for the world is only about $60 trillion. Your plan is a little too creative.

40 million people are a lot to replace. Especially since a lot of these baby boomers hold titles that are either high on the chain of command or require a lot of technical skill. Imagine replacing management at a lot of major companies overnight...it would lead to mass instability. The Baby Boomers will slowly phase out of the workforce in the next 10-20 years, and will be replaced by the next generation. This will cause the smoothest transition possible. While your idea is a nice sentiment, there will be huge backlash to the companies that hired these people.

Let's get real.

A new American car averages about $25,000. A new home, depending where you live, averages at least $250,000, and probably more.

Consider that most an average necessary annual income would be about $35,000 a year.

And the average life span is currently approaching 80.

Let's do the math, shall we?

30 x $35,000 = $1,050,000

Home = $250,000

Car = $25,000

They'd run out of money in about 20 years. But thanks for playing our game.

If i replaced into on welfare, i might get greater funds. If I have been given nutrition stamps, i might get greater funds. If i did no longer make adequate funds to pay income tax, I;d get a $1000 tax wreck (How the hell do you get a tax wreck once you do no longer pay taxes?) If I have been given unemployment, i might get greater funds. If I have been given funds for sitting on my a ss and not working, i might get greater funds. If i replaced into an unlawful alien, i'd desire to get greater freebies. i'm a Democrate and you have discribed my situtation to a T. can no longer wait to rake it in. Why do you think of we voted for the guy. would desire to run. would desire to p.c.. up my nutrition stamps.

4. 40,000,000 x $1,000,000 = $40,000,000,000,000= 40 Trillion dollars.

Doesn't sound like a solution.

just ride out the hard times with trojan's stimulus package

I am enormously stimulated by that idea!!
