If the government would everyone over 50 years old 1 million dollars ...

Patriotic Retirement Plan:

There are about 40 million people over 50 in the workplace. Pay them $1 million apiece severance for early retirement with the following stipulations:

1) They MUST retire. That means forty million (some attrition of course) job openings. Unemployment fixed.

2) They MUST buy a new American car. Car industry and manufacturing restored.

3) They MUST either buy a house or payoff their Mortgage. Housing crisis fixed.

That's it, we're only talking 40 million dollars in taxpayer money, not even worth a line item in the US budget.

This would be ample retirement money for anyone with their housing paid for and good transportation.

That’s exactly what I was going to post. Methinks the poster didn’t pass multiple math classes.

Aside from the huge math errors others have pointed out, 1 mill is not anywhere close to enough to retire at age 51.

40M*1M = 40 quadrillion I think. 40 × 10 to the 12th.

Thats a lot of fiat dough.
