-- An Ohio congressman pushed for a new program to add a million new jobs Monday.

Congressman Dennis Kucinich unveiled his plan Monday afternoon at his Lakewood office.

Kucinich is proposed offering early retirement with social security benefits and health insurance subsides to people as young as 60 years old. He said that will free up as many as a million new positions in businesses that have already shed jobs.

That is a ponzi scheme...

Yeah, but it's the only business plan in the Karl Marx Big Book of Business.

[MCH]

Hmmm. Return on most savings & investments right now is close to zilch. Major inflation is looming. Threats of huge new taxes. Sounds like a HORRIBLE time to take early retirement and move to a fixed income right now. I think most people realize that. Stupid plan.

[DTogo]

DTogo’s plan: immediate termination of every member of Congress, and several Federal Departments/Agencies.

[fish hawk]

Now wait a minute. I don't have as much of an education as most here BUT a person giving up a job and another person taking it is not really creating a new job, is it? This is more proof of just how stupid the left is and Kucinich is their prize dunce. How do people in his district keep voting him in for another term is far beyond me. They have to be more stupid than he.

Well, the plan worked just fine on Dennis's home planet of Zarkon IV (at least until the Bordellians blew it up). So lemme get this straight - I retire at 60 instead of 67, give my job to a young 'un who's taxed at a ruinous rate to support my benefits, which will be less than they would if I kept the job and paid for them myself. Everybody loses.

Yeah, I call that social justice. At least nobody wins.

His Cleveland office (yeah, how many offices does the clown need?) is surrounded by vacant office buildings with torn awnings.

Wow, your plan is even more drastic than mine. I figured if lowering it to 60 would free up a million new jobs, going down to age 30 would free up tens of millions of jobs!

And he expects people to live on social security?

Guess he’s got those FEMA trailers all lined up for us.

Consider this Cash for Clunkers ... for Humans! You have perfectly capable and employed folks and you take $$ from the Gov't coffers to put them on the public dole at a younger age. Presto, put new people in these newly vacated positions. Brilliant!

Since this is Kucinich, I thought he was going to suggest legalizing pot and providing subsidies for new marijuana dealers to get started...

[hal ogen]

Please...somebody in Ohio DNA scan this guy. Is he an alien with no brain or what?!

[catnipman]

I wonder if he could include a buy-out plan for over-the-hill Congresspersons to free up some slots for younger candidates?

In the past, we sent these people to the asylum that is Versailles on the Potomac. It was infinitely better to send them there than to have them roaming our streets, raping old ladies and streaking past the schools.

That time has passed. Now they are raping old ladies, screwing the rest of us and acting like the drunken uncle at the church social - in the asylum AND in our neighborhoods.

I gfuess it would be too much to ask of people whose only claim to fame in life is that they memorized law books, to behave as adults in public.

[Cheerio]

The only jobs the Government creates is hiring more bureaucrats. They cannot CREATE jobs.

...offering early retirement with social security benefits and health insurance subsides to people as young as 60 years old. He said that will free up as many as a million new positions in businesses that have already shed jobs.

This should help clear the ranks of federal and state bureaucracies for the up-and-coming young Demwits and other socialists who don't want work, just the check. Thanks blueyon.

Many of his fans believe in fairies... seriously, they do.

[ari-freedom]

this is even dumber than believing in aliens from outer space

While true I have to give him a pass because of his unbelievably hot wife...
