I've made this suggestion elsewhere, but it seems to have gotten in the noise.

Okay, the cashout ratio has been 300K (for 80+ stats) since November, 2008.  Since that time, the amount of MD in circulation has exploded.  Simple solution: Modify the cashout ratio on a monthly basis.  If there is $100 available for cashout and 100 MD in circulation, each MD should be worth $1.  But if there are 1,000 MD in circulation, a MD can't still be worth $1.  That is the system we have now.  By modifying the ratio on a monthly basis (which you can announce with a few days left in the month), we'll be able to maintain the game better in the future.

You have suggested this before.  The biggest problem with this is you are basing it on the amount of $ available.  It may very well be a decent option at some point in the future however until we are caught up the amount of $ avail is 0 because all the money gets spent as soon as its in the account.

Fair point.  Maybe do something until you are caught up then, such as placing a moratorium on cash cashouts?
