Nothing to write about? just steal something.

After an enforced break from blogging because her internet connection
WASN'T (connected that is) my sister Merle came up with this gem,
while we do share some readers I don'twant my others (if there are any?)
to miss out so I have reprinted it here.

Dear Mr. Rudd,

Please find below my suggestion for fixing Australia's economy. Instead
of giving billions of dollars to banks and insurance companies that will
squander the money on lavish parties and unearned bonuses, use the
following plan . . . .

You can call it The Patriotic Retirement Plan:

There are about 3 million people over 50 in the work force.
Pay them $1 million apiece severance for early retirement with the
following stipulations :

1) They MUST retire.
Three million job openings. Unemployment fixed.

2) They MUST buy a new Australian made car.
Three million cars ordered.Auto Industry fixed.

3) They MUST buy a house or pay off their mortgage.
Housing crisis fixed.

4) They must send their kids to school/ college/ University.
Crime rate fixed.

5) They must buy $50 of alcohol/ tobacco a week.
There's your money back in duty and taxes.

It can't get any easier than that!

P.S. If more money is needed, have all the members of parliament pay
back their falsely claimed expenses and second home allowances.

Somethings are just too good not to share.
