A Modest Economic Proposal

In an effort to help the economy get back on track ... anything short of actually, you know, spending my own money ... I propose the following.

Since Exxon Mobil's vast earnings are closely tied to the health of the automotive industry it should use some of its huge and expanding profits to buy each and every one of its employees, and every member of their family whether they can drive or not, a top of the line, fully loaded SUV made in America. Driving it would be optional.

For myself, I might try a diesel version of the Ford Fiesta if Ford survives long enough to bring it to America.

ta-dahh! No. No need to thank me. I can toss out these brilliant ideas all day long.
