Dear Ben,
Please make us trillionaires. Just the sound of it! It's beautiful, Ben. But without your help, we'll never get there. So, at your meeting next week, think about us. Because the way you make trillionaires is by printing money.
Maybe not everybody can be a trillionaire. But that's OK. The rest of us will have the pleasure of walking around with millions in our pockets.
Remember Turkey, late 1990s. It was awesome, Ben. You have no idea. Everybody was a millionaire. Even the poor. The entire middle class consisted of billionaires. And there were some trillionaires too. You could buy a döner sandwich and pay 10 million liras and get 8 million liras back. Awe-inspiring to watch a simple man casually counting out so much money. That's democracy, Ben. Just imagine what that would do in America.
It would solve a host of problems. Now, you probably don't look at the reports from the Census Bureau , and you're better off averting your eyes because the number is truly ugly: 46.2 million Americans in poverty. That's a scandal. But you can do something about it, Ben. You can turn them into millionaires. It worked in Turkey.
