Stupid Idea #259313, on how to stimulate the Economy

.
Paid Vacation will stimulate the economy.
.
That's right, Paid Vacation will spur the economy, according to Rep. Alan Grayson (D-FL) anyway.
.
Companies with 100 employees will have to give 1 week vacation to anyone with one years service, then in 3 years it goes to 2 weeks, AND companies with 50 employees would be opted in for the week.
.
Company OWNER maximum allowable pay will undoubtedly be next.
.
Alan Grayson just needs to move his ass to France, IMHO.

Over 5,000 years ago, Moses said to the children of Israel ,
"Pick up your shovels, mount your asses and camels, and I will lead you
To the promised land."

Nearly 75 years ago, Roosevelt said, "Lay down your shovels, sit on
Your asses, and light up a camel, this is the promised land."

Now Obama is going to steal your shovels, kick your asses, raise the
Price of camels, and mortgage the promised land.

All hail Blue!

Spoken like a man of letters sir!!! Unfortunately, the letters are I.O.U., with respect to the national coffers.

This is precisely why we employ 5 people in our office and they are all family members. If we have to spread the wealth, we'll keep it amongst family (after we pay our I.O.U.'s to the IRS).

Good one, Blue!

All this will do is create, just like in France, a PERMANENT 6% OR 8% unemployment rate. If Frances rate goes below 7%, they celebrate.

I say we follow France's lead, alla 1789!!

My only comment here, other than brilliant, is to vote "present"

The only problem with doing nothing is you never know when you're done.

The best way to stimulate the economy is to give the people their goddamn money back!
