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?
The author was suggesting that we give each of them (like your brother) a million dollars... provided that they use it as listed in the letter.
