1. ADEQUATE MONETARY SYSTEM: The three functions of the Federal Reserve to lower or raise discount rates, to buy or sell securities on the open market, to lower or raise the reserve requirements for member banks are inadequate for maintaining a balanced money supply at all times. By adding a FOURTH FUNCTION to the monetary system that would index the PAYROLL TAX on a scale of 1 to 10 would bring a better balance.
The index could be lowered when more money is desired in the consumers pockets and raised when less is needed. NEW MONEY WOULD BE CREATED TO MAKE UP THE DEFICIT, NOT BORROWED FROM CHINA OR ANYONE ELSE. The American people needs to know that banks BUY and SELL money like all other businesses do; that when a bank pays 2 percent for money and sell it for 8 percent, the banks make 400 percent gross profit and not 6 percent like they would like for you to think. If a merchant pays two dollars for a candy bar and sells it for eight dollars, the gross profit would be 400 percent just like a bank buying money for two dollars and selling it for eight dollars. The gross profit would be 400 percent. Banks are engaged in Loan sharking! ANY INTEREST RATE OVER 10 PERCENT IS USURY.
THE TREASURY DEPARTMENT NEEDS TO CREATE NEW MONEY EACH YEAR EQUIVALENT TO THE INCREASE IN THE GREED INDEX WHICH IS CALLED INFLATION. INFLATION IS AN EUPHEMISM FOR THEFT. GREED WITH A PRICE MARKER DEVALUES MONEY.
2. RESERVE RETRAINING WORK FORCE: The greatest problem facing America is EMPLOYMENT AND UNEMPLOYMENT. This problem can be PERMANENTLY solved by establishing a Reserve Retraining Work force. Everyone would be in the regular work force or in the Reserve-Retraining Work force. All unemployment would be by choice.
It wouldn’t matter which side of the track you were born on, you would go to school free, and in some case the unemployed would get paid a living wage while going to school. Any one could go as far as their mind will let them by making passing grades.
3. ALL AMERICANS WHO WANT TO OWN A HOME SHOULD BE ABLE TO, REGARDLESS OF INCOME. The Federal Government should endow a HOME LOAN FUND, so anyone making below average wages could borrow money to finance a home at an interest rate from 1% to 3% FOR UP TO
40 YEARS. The Federal Government must become a competitor of the banking industry. Public enterprise has as much right to exist as does private enterprise. The Constitution call for a form of MIXTURISM: business and government working together to meet the needs and desires of all the people.
4. HEALTH CARE SYSTEM: Since the average health care claims run under $10,000, the Federal government could pay all claims over $10,000 for only 16 billion dollars per 1 trillion dollars of total health care cost. Without having to worry about claims for over $10,000, small businesses and small organizations could self-insure which would put real competition in health insurance bring about competition in the insurance industry where none now exist. THIS WILL LEAD TO A SINGLE PAY UNIVERSAL HEALTH CARE SYSTEM.
5. A FIRST CLASS EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM CAN BEST BE ESTABLISHED BY HAVING THE TEACHER BECOME THE DIRECTOR OF A PLANNED PROGRAM THAT WILL REACH ALL OBJECTIVES DESIRED USING THE BEST OF SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY. WE COULD SPEND A BILLION DOLLARS ON EVERY COURSE BEING TAUGHT IN HIGH SCHOOL THAT
WOULD TEACH EVERY THING KNOWN ON THE SUBJECT BY EXPERTS AND THAT WOULD BE CHEAPER THAN WHAT WE ARE NOW SPENDING ON EDUCATION, AND IT WOULD ALLOW ALL TEACHERS TO DO A BETTER JOB OF TEACHING.
PLUS: THE DEFENSE OF AMERICAN IS PARAMOUNT. The Armed Forces must have the people power, the hardware, the software, the research, and the development necessary to keep America the SUPER POWER of the world. THE WORLD MUST FIGHT TERRORISM WITH A DOUBLE BLADE AX. They must simultaneously ax the terrorists and their infrastructure with one blade and the CAUSE with the other.
INFLATION IS A EUPHEMISM FOR THEFT! RAISING INTEREST RATES TO FIGHT THEFT IS LIKE POURING GASOLINE ON A BURNING HOUSE TO PUT OUT THE FIRE.
RAISING PRICES IS WHAT DEVALUES MONEY, NOT THE CREATION OF NEW MONEY TO BRING PEOPLE RESOURCES AND NATURAL RESOURCES TOGETHER TO PRODUCE
GOODS AND SERVICES WHICH HAVE REAL VALUE.
