What do cigarettes and Federal Reserve notes have in common?

Some folks call cigarettes coffin nails for smokers.

Federal Reserve notes should be called coffin nails for the economy.

Medical professionals say smokers’ lungs start getting better the first day after they stop smoking.

The U.S. economy will start improving the very first day after we stop the Federal Reserve from creating our money as debt, that is to say, issuing Federal Reserve notes. The federal government could then create money that would not be owed to anyone.

Are we so addicted to borrowing that we can’t stop until our debt completely destroys our economy and perhaps even our nation, just like a smoker that can’t stop smoking until it kills him?
