Participant[quote=WandGP]Frankly the best idea that I heard of to create jobs was to have never given out any bail-out funds to corporate giants, quasi-governmental entities, or banks. The federal government ONLY needed to give 1-2 million dollars to every individual age 60 + who had not retired yet. With the stipulation that they would retire immediately, invest a portion of their money, and immediately buy an American car or pay off their home. Wow, with over 30+ million American in this category now you have 30 million jobs opened. I know it’s an over-simplified strategy, but it least it gets over the pretense of just giving a damn handout to those that deserve it more than the likes of Bank of America.[/quote]
That’s not a good idea. Here’s why. First, the problem we’re facing:
– The economy has shrunk, therefore, the massive layoffs.
What you are suggesting is:
– Artificially shrink the labor work force by giving the near-retirees incentives to retire early.
This proposed solution may reduce the unemployment rate. But as a nation, we are not producing more, not becoming more wealthy.
The correct solution is to find a way to grow our economy, creating more jobs.
Not to mention that the early retirees will start to utilize Social Security earlier making it worse.

GuestJust trying to think outside the box and offer a solution that only puts the American people maybe a couple of hundred million to 1 billion in debt vs trillions.

The gov. has already chosen who to give a few million dollars each to and most of them work for Goldman Sachs : )
