Fathers Day Quiz...Can you name these famous fathers?

One Man's advise to Mr. President

This was an article from the St. Petersburg Times Newspaper on Sunday.

The Business Section asked readers for ideas on "How Would You Fix the Economy?"

I thought this was the BEST idea.

I think this guy nailed it!


Dear Mr. President,

Patriotic retirement:

There are about 40 million people over 50 in the work force; pay them $1 million a piece severance with stipulations:

1) They give up their jobs. Forty million job openings - Unemployment fixed.

2) They buy NEW American cars. Forty million cars ordered/sold - Auto Industry fixed.

3) They either buy a house or pay off their mortgages- Housing Crisis fixed.

40 million people retire, 40 million American autos sold, 40 million houses bought or mortgages paid up.

All this and it's still cheaper than the "bailout."

Guess which one?

Here is an interesting email I received from a friend. With current Malroney Inquiry going on,I wonder how do our clowns in Ottawa measure up to this test?


GUESS WHICH ONE!!

36 have been accused of spousal abuse

117 have directly or indirectly bankrupted at least 2 businesses
3 have done time for assault

Neither,

The same group of Idiots that crank out hundreds of new laws each year designed to keep the rest of Americans in line.
