Detailed below is a comment I found on the website of a local paper in the Midlands. The person who wrote is an everyday person. The kind from the silent majority of ordinary people who are not being listened to. The silent law abiding majority currently being let down be the corporate banking sector and the UK government. Janet's idea is called the Patriotic Retirement Plan. These are the kind of ideas that will get the UK out of the mess. Why are the politicians not thinking out of the box?Here's Janet's suggestion for fixing Britain's economy.Instead of giving billions of pounds to banks that will squander the money on lavish parties and unearned bonuses, use the following plan. You can call it the Patriotic Retirement Plan. There are about 20 million people over 50 in the work force. Pay them £1 million apiece severance for early retirement with the following stipulations:
1 They must retire. Twenty million job openings – unemployment fixed.
2 They must buy a new British car. Twenty million cars ordered – auto industry fixed.
3 They must either buy a house or pay off their mortgage – housing crisis fixed.
4 They must send their kids to school, college or university – crime rate fixed
5 Buy £50 of alcohol and/or tobacco a week – there's the Government's money back in duty/tax. It can't get any easier than that!
P.S. If more money is needed, have MPs pay back their falsely-claimed expenses and second home allowances.
David Cameron aint better either http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bRKhTQHrtdk
