Budget Bucks. They Stack Up as One Sure Cure for the Deficit.
Barrons 1984
Summary: Alan Abelson asked me to write this piece for Barrons after one of our many visits in his office. I was meant to be a humorous piece, but I lat4er learned that my good friend Steve Moore referred to it in pone of his testimonies before the House Ways and Means Committee. It posits a simple cure for the deficit. Create a second (elastic) currency for government spending. Hope you enjoy.

In case you were wondering, the man whose fact adorns the Budget Buck is Tip O’Neill and the drawing was made by my many-talented wife Pamela.
I hope that you enjoy the piece and welcome your comments.
