    The solution to the economic crisis!

    The solution to the economic crisis!


    Dear Mr. Cowen

    Please find below my suggestion for fixing Irelands economy.

    Instead of giving Seven Billion Euro's to Anglo Irish Bank who will
    squander the money on lavish parties and unearned bonuses, use the
    following plan.

    You can call it the Republican Retirement Plan:

    There are about 1 million people over 50 in the work force. Pay them 7
    million Euro apiece severance for early retirement with the following
    stipulations:

    1) They MUST retire. One million job openings - Unemployment fixed

    2) They MUST= buy a new car. One 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/university - Crime rate
    fixed

    5) They MUST buy 100 Euro of alcohol/tobacco a week .....and there's
    your
    money back in duty/tax etc

    It can't get any easier than that!

    P.S. If more money is needed, have all members of government pay back
    their
    falsely claimed expenses and allowances

    How about

    They MUST set up an Irish car company, employ thousands, and each MUST purchase a car from this company. Keep all the car money in the country.

    Your a bit short to fund this scheme - I think about 6,993 billion, but open to correction - but I like your lucid thinking.
    Mammy, get the hammer there's a fly on daddy's head.
