Profit will no longer be a dirty word. Surplus profits would move to charities. Every week, the President would point out to the American people a good charity that needs help and would call attention to the charities that are doing good work. If you did not like the way your chosen charity handled your contributions, pick another.

When products sell they must be replaced on the shelf. When the worker is the consumer, reducing payrolls reduces consumer funds and spending, and the products stay on the shelf. What about pay-cuts, outsourced work, increased taxes and imports especially goods imported by indigenous companies?

Congress has outsourced a job assigned to them by the people. (Article I, Section 8 of the Constitution). This outsourcing causes us to pay interest on every dollar that Congress spends. Interest that goes to the owners of the Fed. This interest which along with overspending has accumulated into our tremendous debt. Abolishing the Fed and making Congress do their job, will save us having to pay for something that is completely unnecessary.
