This came to my inbox via my personal network and it made me holler
laughing.
---------------------
I wish I could claim this idea, but it belongs to one of my
neighbors.
Instead of the $700 billion 'bail-out' plan, send $1 million to
every household in the US, with the requirement that the first use
they make of the money be to pay off their mortgage. They can do
whatever they want with the remainder. This would repair the 'toxic
debt,' AND provide the economy with a huge burst of consumer
spending. And, the banks could start issuing new mortgages
again!
Remember, this is about a fairly cheap, simple fix, not about
fairness, so it doesn't address eliminating illegal immigrants,
providing equity between the single and multiple person household,
or any of those other considerations.
If you like it, please pass it on.
