   .Congress will pass a resolution to start printing a new American   
   Dollar according to the U.S. Constitution.   
      
   .If vetoed by O-bow-ma, Congress will simply override the veto.   
      
   .All citizens will then voluntarily exchange all of their Federal   
   Reserve Notes for the new American Dollar.   
      
   .All exchanged Federal Reserve Notes will then be returned to the   
   Federal Reserve to pay the bastards off with all the same currency   
   that they previously issued as their own "legal tender", and told to   
   take a hike.   
      
   .Americans will then collectively reject all Federal Reserve Notes,   
   and use the new U.S. Government issued Dollars from that point onward.   
      
   Bing.   
      
   Done deal.

   .". . . By increasing the supply of money, the Federal Reserve lowers   
   the value of every dollar that already exists.  If the supply of   
   Mickey Mantle baseball cards were suddenly to increase a millionfold,   
   each individual card would become almost valueless.  The same   
   principle applies to money: the more the Fed creates, the less value   
   each individual monetary unit possesses.  When the money supply is   
   increased, prices rise - with each dollar now worth less than before,   
   it can purchase fewer goods than it could in the past. . . .   
      
   .History bears this out.  An item that cost $100 in 1913 (when the   
   Federal Reserve Act was passed) would cost $2014.81 in 2006.  An item   
   that cost $100 in 2006 would have cost $4.96 in 1913.  As we can see,   
   the dollar has lost nearly all its value since the Fed was   
   established.  Now, if the gold standard had brought about such an   
   outcome, we would never hear the end of all the howls of outrage.  But   
   the Fed does it and . . . utter silence.  The Fed has managed to   
   insulate itself from the kind of criticism that is normally directed   
   at all other institutions that harm Americans."
