What IS the best way to harness the usefulness that several trillion dollars could provide? (Is the author's math correct? Would that be 4 trillion, or 40 trillion? Are there really 40 million people over 50 years old in the workforce?)

Best answer given...

WHO NEEDS GOVERNMENT? The collapse caused by 95 years of too much government printing, borrowing, spending, meddling and corruption cannot be solved by more of the same. Take power and money away from the federal government and trust the free enterprise system to fix itself through individual resourcefulness.

I don't know about 40 million Americans over 50 still at work.

My brother is 51. He's putting 2 kids through college, with another still in high school. He's not exactly in the market for a new car right now.

Particularly if he is essentially "mandatory retired" tomorrow, and then made to pay off his house, and buy a car. When he just became unemployed.

What kind of Obamamath is this?

They either buy a house or pay off their mortgage — housing crisis fixed.

More likely they will buy a 2K house and finance the 1K with a shady bank and we'll start the whole cycle all over again.
