A few good things to consider.

Two things:
Thing one. The federal government wants to literally put strings back in “Purse Strings.” Yes. If the government gets it’s way, we all will be lugging around a coin purse filled with coinage. Coins of one-dollar denomination. Possibly weighing up to a pound or more. Jingling coins in one’ own coin purse. A purse tied to our belts like Robin Hood did in the Sherwood Forest.

What will I do with my wallet or “Bill Fold” as some call it? Toss it away. With all those photos and credit cards? But it was so convenient. How will I stuff a coin purse in my hip pocket? More importantly, how will it feel when I sit on my dangling coin purse? Coin purse just doesn’t sound right. It certainly won’t feel right either.

Thing two. Lay-Away is coming back into vogue. You know, put a little money down on a purchase and pay it off in weekly or monthly incremental payments. Just like I did 40-years ago at Sears. It was so handy at Christmas time. Sort of pay as you go.

Well, our government could learn from this simple process. Got a missile you want to buy? Put it on lay-away. Put your money down, pay it off over the months or years, and then it’s yours. Free and clear. No fuss. No muss. It’s oh so simple.

Got a campaign you want to finance? No need for a lobbyist. Just put your campaign on Lay-away. Its just takes a little planning ahead. Put your money down and pay it off in payments. Just start a bit earlier. Maybe like two or three years earlier. Believe me, it will work. Lay-away. The next big thing.
