Hi JW CB: Just my idea that the debt load is creating problems with the credit quality of the buck. Household debt increased at highest level in ? years last month.

Not because the feds can't buy enough lubricant to keep the dollar presses going indefinitely. Not enough of the special paper can be made to keep the mint in supply so they will need to go entirely digital "money"; thus won't need the presses anymore.

Read somewhere (recently) that certain employers now issue pay account debit cards; with availability of credit units issued on a payroll basis; pay units which you do not receive until you withdraw the units from the employer's account. Now that is what I call digital money! Forgot where I read that, but implication was that the money units remain with the employer UNLESS you take specific action to withdraw it, used like a bank debit card. A local bank offers free checking with online banking free first 3 months and a debit card, which they will not charge you a monthly use fee on the debit card for one whole year!

Digital money and charges to use your debit card, what could be better than that? Maybe digital stocks and other digital securities that have no physical ownership traits.

Just my ranting for the day.

Best Wishes;
Rails
