What if money had instructions on the back? Basic economic facts, wise slogans, etc? I think it would be useful.

I’m thinking something more like the Surgeon General’s warning on cigarettes and alcohol.

Secretary of the Treasury’s Warning:
Spending this on stupid bullshit you don’t need is going to make you happy for a little while but you’ll eventually regret it and wish you had saved it for computer classes.

Granted, our entire economy only functions at all because people buy truckloads of shit they don’t need (myself included), so that wouldn’t fly.
