There is no mystery to solving the monetary problem as it has been demonstrated throughout history on national, state and local levels. It is the political structure that makes it impossible to bring about. A true republic (not a democracy) is the only viable structure where the role of government (instituted among Men, deriving its just Powers from the Consent of the Governed) is minimized and to not provide for its citizenry, but to protect life, liberty, and property. From this, a free people and a free market determine trade and the medium of exchange operating under the rule of law. The basis of your "Cook Plan" is collectivist and does not respect individual liberty. You may want to familiarize yourself with G. Edward Griffin's Creed of Freedom, which I have placed a link to: http://www.justpullit.com/uploads/1/4/8/9/1489925/creed_of_freedom.pdf You may also want to familiarize yourself with John McManus' Overview of America transcript, which I have placed a link to: http://www.justpullit.com/uploads/1/4/8/9/1489925/overview_of_america_transcript_jbs.pdf What people fail to realize is that it is in our nature to be corruptable at some level and when power is centralized it becomes concentrated and a fertile ground for corruption and abuse. People need to read the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution which were written to protect the people from government. The internet is the only last true representation of freedom and that is being aggressively attacked by the centralist regime. Thank you. Mr. Cook,
