MORE jobs, Greg! Kevlar pockets for all. Maybe even a old jeans buy back program?

It's all about JOBS.

True! You would even have to the change the coin holders that are designed for todays current coins.

Just heard another brilliant suggestion for the economy based on the Madoff scandal. Turns out all those investors who were getting 14% annual returns no matter what the market did? They had to pay taxes on those vaporous "profits"! So the obvious solution to our dilemma?

MORE PONZI SCHEMES!

OK forgive my ignorance, but what about minting more and more of the same old coins....you know, until we can all start spending again?

But what about JOBS? If we just make more coins, the same people will have the same JOBS!! We need MORE JOBS, so we need square coins...

Oh wait. Are you saying that if the economy was in better shape we'd all still be taking our coins to CoinStar at Kroger? (That's another JOB maker I forgot about.) Or that if the MSM quit calling doom and gloom we'd carry on as usual? I really want to know. Oh, and BTW, WHO is stopping you from spending? We have guns and ammo if you need them to get to a store, and I'd offer them, but since you are already known as a book thief, you're on your own.
