This is the one where I solve the economic crisis.
Posted March 6th, 2009 by Mike Lawson
I’m going to be a national hero after the right people read this post. Seriously.
I’ve got a solution to this crazy economic crisis that were going through. This morning Dan and I were watching a little Anderson Cooper, and it just suddenly dawned on me.
The unemployment rate is at 8.1%, and that’s the highest its been since Ronald Reagan days in 1983. People don’t have money…which means people aren’t spending money. Problem solved: Print more money.
Like $10,000 per American.
Correct me if I’m wrong blog readers, but wouldn’t a $10,000 stimulus check do you good right about now?

I wish it were this simple… sadly, the value of that $10k would be greatly reduced since you’re giving it to every American. Imagine a $25 cup of coffee from Starbucks! Yikes!

BTW, I think scanning currency is somewhat against the law?

Inflation would quickly devalue your $10,000. Unfortunately people need to spend and I think we are all scared to let go of what we have.

Yeah, as stated above, that would cause much inflation. I know how to solve the economic crisis… convert to communism. lol.

I concur… I wish it were that easy as well… because I would love $10,000!
