Jusitn Cunningham presents: How to save the ecomomy Part 1

Right now all you hear about is the doom and gloom surrounding the economy and many, especially those on Capital Hill, believe the answer lies in the form of mega-loans on the backs of taxpayers. Well, I have a different idea on how to save the economy that will result in no additional taxes, will actually increase government revenue from taxes, and as a bi-product will give Americans more entertainment value for their dollar than ever thought possible. The key to all of this is the National Football League, or NFL.



By now you are, no doubt, asking yourself, "How could the NFL possibly save the economy?" A perfectly legitimate question, indeed. The plan is as follows: The NFL needs to draft a new rule that will allow a team to score one point as a result of the quarterback throwing the football between the goal posts (similar to a field goal or extra point kick). If this new, revolutionary rule is implemented it will result in tighter competition between teams, resulting in more fan interest. More fan interest will result in more tickets and souvenirs being sold, which will result in more jobs created. Additional jobs will also be created with the need for franchises to hire and maintain additional coaching and recruiting personal to accommodate this new tactic. Furthermore, as fan interest in the NFL grows more and more cities will begin their own franchises, resulting in economic growth in even the poorest of American cities.



Admittedly, this plan cannot totally eliminate the problems facing America in the economic sector. However, it can provide a first step to climbing out of this hole, and without costing taxpayers billions of dollars. There are additional steps I believe we need to take that will be addressed in future posts. Until then, God Bless and have a wonderful day!
