The Fix that could stimulate America!!!

There are 40 million Americans over 50 in the US , most of whom still work. Why not give each of us old folks $1 million each with the following stipulations:
1. You must quit your job if you have one. Therefore, 40 million new jobs would be created. Unemployment solved!

2. You must buy a new US made car. Therefore, 40 million new cars would be sold. Auto industry problem solved!

3. You must buy a new house or pay off your mortgage. Housing industry problem solved!

Not trillions!! Not even hundreds of billions. For $40 billion we could be out of this mess and on an upward trend again. Much less money than has already been spent with virtually no results, and the effects of this “stimulus” package would be felt almost as soon as the checks went out.

I also like the idea of hiring about five Mexican Generals for $10 Million per year each with the stipulation that for every illegal alien who crosses into the United States from Mexico , ten grand would be deducted from each of their salaries.

40,000,000 x $1,000,000 = $40,000,000,000,000 = $40 Trillion

Is that senility?

And that's not the only obvious abandonment of logic on display in that plan.
