Long-Term Promise: More Cash! Less Work!

The following chart shows the 12-month moving average of real currency in circulation per American nonfarm payroll employee (July 2013 dollars).<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgm6qu-jUvghB3mYiK0_MjKSTN-LfOhFx6awQiRtl2Uhnsj7WwF_cGDeU4Ym3ikD85prZKjzowgN11RoBXnbNCWEfnZmjUUQjdyttI6eqAqN3YpB-bm0Z3RBzdG_Ppj7SODABSnsnGtw10/s1600/More+Cash%21+Less+Work%21.jpg" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgm6qu-jUvghB3mYiK0_MjKSTN-LfOhFx6awQiRtl2Uhnsj7WwF_cGDeU4Ym3ikD85prZKjzowgN11RoBXnbNCWEfnZmjUUQjdyttI6eqAqN3YpB-bm0Z3RBzdG_Ppj7SODABSnsnGtw10/s320/More+Cash%21+Less+Work%21.jpg" /></a><br /><span style="font-size: x-small;">Click to enlarge.</span><br /><br />As seen in the chart, I think it pretty much goes without saying that <a href="http://news-these-days.blogspot.com/2013/09/this-is-not-1982.html">this is not 1982</a>. It does look a bit like World War II though. Is there another world war right now that nobody told me about?<br /><br />I have not filed with the Federal Election Commission to run for <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_presidential_election,_2016">President of the United States in 2016</a>, but I'd certainly like to keep my options open. I therefore offer the following pledges so everyone knows where I stand on the tough issues facing our country.<br /><br /><div style="color: red;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>If elected, I promise even more than more of the same! Even more cash! Even less work! The more cash and the less work the better!</b></span></div><br />Who wouldn't like that? In this increasingly digital age, we're currently $500 above trend! The prosperity is practically overflowing!<br /><br />If you are a guy and you have a job in this more cash and less work environment, then I feel your pain. I'd like to ask you serious questions about the main issue that I assume affects you the most. How do you get your wallet to close with $8,600+ cash inside? Does this country need to make larger denomination bills? <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Large_denominations_of_United_States_currency">As of May 30, 2009, only 342 $5,000 bills were known to exist.</a> What a tragedy!<br /><br /><div style="color: red;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>If elected, I promise even larger denomination bills produced on the same quality paper that the smaller denomination bills are printed on!</b></span></div><br />On the off chance you are a bit shy of the $8,600+ in cash ($26,000 for a family of 3) then have no fear. Perhaps someone else does and it is on the verge of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trickle-down_economics">trickling down</a> to you. I know you've been patient for 30 years so far, but perhaps you just need to be patient for a few more years!<br /><br /><div style="color: red;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>If elected, I promise to patiently watch the cash trickle down with you! In no way, shape, or form shall I inhibit its ongoing progress!</b></span></div><br /><iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="236" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/foGMTdxewBI" width="420"></iframe><br /><br /><b>See Also:</b><br /><a href="http://news-these-days.blogspot.com/2010/06/sarcasm-disclaimer.html">Sarcasm Disclaimer</a><br /><br /><b>Source Data:</b><br /><a href="http://research.stlouisfed.org/fred2/graph/?g=mfc">St. Louis Fed: Custom Chart</a>
