The only problem I see is that once the $1 note is stopped printing, the $2 note will step in and take its place and we'll be back to square one (or should I say two, as in the $2 note will be printed in the hundreds of millions then) again.

The politicians have no clue to see the short future on what will happen. But I do like cutting their salary, since none of them can do anything close as to what they are getting paid.

Really, we gotta direct our focus at HR. I mean, who keeps hiring these bozos over and over?

A two dollar coin would fix that problem. I seem to recall that it happened somewhere else in the world.

It isn't who is hiring them, but what our choices are. We don't have any good choices, so it is the lesser of two evils, year over year again.

We wouldn't keep getting bozos as choices if people stopped voting for them. It seems people just accept the red or blue choice and disregard anything else. We're our own worst enemy. And to stay on topic I'm going to say the word coins. I like coins.

If only there were some system by which we could determine who the candidates will be... Perhaps if there were some sort of "primary" election before the regular election, we could choose between candidates with a diverse range of views on various policies. The candidates could be recruited by like-minded groups of people who are interested in advancing certain policy goals, such as promoting the dollar coin.

It sure sounds like a more flexible system than our current one, where the candidates for the major parties are selected in secret rooms by robots from outer space.

Just gentle nudge here... Let's focus on the coins, not the politics.

Here's a thought; Close the government accountability office. If anything in Washington has failed utterly then this is it. There is no accountability whatsoever. In fact if you want accountability find the clown who thought up having an accountability office and fire him.

I wonder how money has been wasted studying the obvious. We spend millions of dollars in government to save nickels and won't spend a nickel to save billions.
Time don't fly, it bounds and leaps.

There is no Government Accountability Office
It's a thought though, START ONE!. That's what we need a government office that holds the elected officials accountable.

The name General Accounting Office was changed to Government Accountability Office in 2004 by the GAO Human Capital Reform Act.

Contrary to what many would claim, I do not make this stuff up.
