I'm pretty sure those FRN's are government/Fed property and can be recalled at any time. They would have to give you something in return, say, government bonds. It all makes so much sense!

If All Americans are poor then we are all equal right? Even more equal than in the Animal Farm! Heaven on earth! Real change! No hope! O and the boys are still "pigs". If this has no meaning read Orwell
