How to Fix the Economy

Dear Mr. President,

Patriotic retirement: There's about 40 million people over 50 in the work force, pay them $1 million apiece severance with the following stipulations:
1) They leave their jobs. Forty million job openings - Unemployment fixed.
2) They buy NEW American cars. Forty million cars ordered - Auto Industry fixed.
3) They either buy a house/pay off their mortgage - Housing Crisis fixed.

Can't get any easier than that!
