THE
BIGGEST LIE EVER
PERPETRATED ON THE AMERICAN PEOPLE BY THE CONSERVATIVES AND CONGRESS IS
TELLING THE
AMERICAN PEOPLE THAT THE NATIONAL
DEBT IS
THEIR DEBT, THEIR CHILDREN’S DEBT AND THEIR GRANDCHILDREN’S DEBT. THIS
IS ABSOLUTELY
FALSE. THE GOVERNMENT’S DEBT IS THE GOVERNMENT’S DEBT AND NOT THE
PEOPLE’S DEBT, AND THE GOVERNMENT IS IN A POSITION TO EASILY MANAGE
THEIR DEBT.
CONSIDER
THESE FACTS: THE TOTAL
ASSETS OF THE U.S. ECONOMY IS $213 TRILLION, AND THE NATIONAL DEBT IS
$13.1 TILLION, WHICH IS ONLY 6.1% OF THE TOTAL ASSETS.
THE GDP
DOES NOT GO BACKTO ZERO ON DECEMBER THIRTY- FIRST OF EACH YEAR,
BUT
EACH MONTH KEEPS
ADDING
TO THE ECONOMIC ASSETS OF THE U.S. ECONOMY. ARTICLE
1, SECTION 8,
OF THE CONSTITUTION GIVES THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT THE
POWER TO
BORROW MONEY ON ITS ASSETS, THE POWER TO TAX, AND THE
POWER TO CREATE
MONEY.
HOW
WOULD YOU LIKE TO
OWE ONLY 6.1% OF YOUR ECONOMIC ASSETS , BE ABLE TO
COLLECT
TAXES FROM EVERYONE IN AMERICA, AND BE ABLE TO CREATE MONEY? THAT’S
THE STATUS OF THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT, WHICH HAS THE MEANS TO COPE
WITH ANY
FINANCIAL
SITUATION.
IF
YOU ARE LOSING SLEEP
OVER THE NATIONAL DEBT AND THINKING THAT SOCIAL SECURITY AND MEDICARE
ARE
GOING BROKE, GO BACK TO SLEEP. THAT WILL NEVER HAPPEN. IF YOU WANT TO
WORRY
ABOUT THESE THINGS, DON’T WORRY ABOUT THE MONEY PART. ANY DEFICIT CAN
BE MADE
UP OUT OF GENERAL FUNDS.
THIS
BIG LIE ABOUT THE
NATIONAL DEBT STANDS IN THE WAY OF THE GOVERNMENT SPENDING AS MUCH
MONEY AS IT
SHOULD TO EDUCATE, TO PROVIDE EMPLOYMENT, TO HAVE UNIVERSAL
HEALTH CARE, TO
KEEP A BALANCED MONEY SUPPLY AT ALL TIMES, AND TO INITIATE
PROGRAMS TO PROVIDE GOOD HOUSING
FOR ALL
THE PEOPLE.
IN
SUMMARY, YOU DON’T
OWE A CENT ON THE NATIONAL DEBT, AND THE GOVERNMENT IS NOT BROKE BUT
RATHER IT IS
IN EXCELLENT SHAPE.
WE
NEED TO TAX LESS, BORROW LESS, AND CREATE MORE MONEY.
CONSERVATIVES
STAND
IN THE WAY OF PROGESSIVE IDEAS, RAILING AGAINST BIG GOVERNMENT AND
TALKING
ENDLESSLY ABOUT ELIMINATING ESSENTIAL PROGRAMS.
THE
NEWS MEDIA SHOULD
BE ASKING THESE PEOPLE WHICH OF THE FOLLOWING BIG GOVERNMENT PROGRAMS
THEY
WOULD DROP: THE ARMY, THE NAVY, THE AIR FORCE, THE MARINE CORPS, THE

This group of disenfranchised people, the unemployed, represent a large, diverse segment of our population, including not only single parents and inner-city teenagers, but also people with families who have recently been laid off from good jobs and who realize they must acquire new career skills to support their families.
Almost every town in this country has an employment security office, whose purpose is to match the unemployed with appropriate work. A noble effort, but of little benefit to the millions who lack skills and training that would qualify them for decent paying jobs. But the employment security offices could be the doorway for a reserve-retraining work force. The reserve-retraining work force would do more than maintain meaningless job listings for people who can’t fill them. Through this initiative, the mission of the old employment security agencies would be dramatically changed. They would be transformed into centers for the redirection of lives. People could report to these offices and be assigned to training courses in the public or private educational systems to learn new jobs; or they could serve as a backup work force for people taking vacations, sick leave, or leave to look after family members who are sick. Employers would have a ready source of people for new jobs—or to fill in for one day, one week or one month, while a regular employee is absent.
By giving people on-the-job training, every job could be learned by someone who would be ready when needed in the regular work force. The nation would have a large pool of workers qualified to perform a wide variety of jobs. On call for temporary work assignments or permanent positions, these retrained millions would form a cadre of workers, a reserve to bolster our nation’s labor force—ready and qualified to step in at a moment’s notice. No longer would the operation of small and large employers alike be compromised and threatened by the temporary absence or the permanent loss of any personnel.
Child-care centers could be established in conjunction with the reserve-retraining work force—staffed by competent people needing work—to care for dependents of trainees and others who work through the reserve-retraining work force. These could be operated on a 24-hour, 7-days-a-week basis.
With the establishment of the reserve-retraining work force and child-care centers, no longer would any individual be able to honestly lament that they were powerless to improve, to earn a paycheck, or to become productive. There should be virtually no excuse for unemployment. By supplying trained personnel, no job should remain unfilled. No worker should remain idle. With all able-bodied individuals earning an income, the need for welfare payments would be all but eliminated. Those certified to be truly unemployable because of physical or mental impairment would still receive income from the government. Those able-bodied individuals who refuse to be retrained or to work afterwards would receive no further government assistance. The door of the reserve-retraining work force would always be open, where one can get a day's pay for a day's work.
How would we pay for this new approach to helping those who help themselves? The money now being spent on a host of dead-end welfare programs and unemployment compensation, paid by employers, could be diverted to the start-up and support of this effort. Employers would benefit by having a supply of pretrained workers. Eventually, as increasing numbers of individuals receive training, obtain jobs, leave the welfare rolls, and begin earning salaries and paying taxes, cash flow would reverse. The program would actually save the government more money than it costs. We would see the reserve-retraining work force program starting to pay divid-ends…dividends that not only affect the bottom line but, more importantly, the human spirit as well.
A basic premise: Since earning a living is a person’s first requirement in life, this need must be met before one can realize social and intellectual potential. Any government that does not provide a means by which all of its citizens can partake completely in society has more of which to be ashamed than proud.
Individually, a person, a company, or a corporation cannot provide a job for every citizen at all times; but together they can. The injustice of unemployment cannot wait for better economic times. Passage of time does not solve problems; only people can solve problems. The solution to the unemployment problem is long overdue.
For people who are employed to allow the government not to become the “employer of last resort” without strong protest loses any legitimate claim they may have as part of society. To say that anyone who wants a job can find one without establishing a system to accomplish it is an excuse for the inexcusable.
When America establishes a reserve-retraining work force so all of the people can have a job all of the time, the country will be in a position to eliminate many injustices. Once the injustice of unemployment has been corrected, America can then see clearly how to correct all other existing injustices. Furthermore, America will also be able to correct new injustices as they arise.
For any country, much less America, to have an office of Employment Security where people receive unemployment checks for a few weeks and then continue to be unemployed without a check is a result of the poverty of the minds of government leaders. For 95% of those who are employed to work any overtime without protesting while 5% of their fellow persons go unemployed demonstrates a lack of care.
All the people in society, collectively through their government, have sufficient resources to be the employer of last resort. To place people on welfare or give handouts rather than establish a system that will provide a job for anyone desiring one is unforgivable.
For labor unions to have a system by which people retain their jobs simply due to seniority, while those of shorter employment lose all, is not justice. All employees should share in the percentage of loss. If a set number of employees can work overtime when there is more work, all the employees should work less when there is less work.
How in good conscience can those of us who share the wealth of the richest, most powerful, innovative nation on earth be content while millions of our fellow citizens live in poverty, trapped in the welfare cycle? A reserve-retraining work force is the answer to unemployment and welfare. More than enough money is already being spent on unemployment compensation and welfare benefits to pay for it.THE
SECOND AMENDMENT MAY GIVE A PERSON THE RIGHT TO OWN A GUN, BUT ARTICLE
1 OF THE CONSTITUTION GIVES THE CONGRESS THE LATITUDE
NEEDED TO DETERMINE WHAT KIND OF
GUN AND REGULATIONS NEEDED
TO CONTROL IT. IT IS TIME TO DROP THE ARGUMENT ABOUT THE
RIGHT TO OWN A GUN AND ASK
CONGRESS TO DO ITS JOB.
An elementary, basic concept to be sure, but one which seems all too often to be forgotten by the average citizen…and politicians. After all, in this country, it’s easy to forget that money is nothing more than paper and ink or small, round pieces of metal. Why? Here, shortages of most services and products are rare. As a result, money may be used readily and almost immediately to satisfy whatever we desire. Money, therefore, assumes an importance all its own...itself quickly becoming the object of desire. Is it any wonder then that many people become confused? So close is the association of money with personal gratification that some begin to think of money as having inherent worth, as a commodity to be treasured for its own sake. Rather than viewing money as simply a medium of exchange, they cherish cash, hold big bank accounts in high esteem, and hoard huge investments of stocks and bonds.
Some say this false attribution of value to money and its adulation is behavior akin to worship, and perhaps such an attitude would be harmless were it not for the fact that this kind of thinking distorts reason, engenders false premises and retards real prosperity for all.
When we perceive money as a commodity with intrinsic value instead of as an exchange medium, we often become quite possessive… retentive. We develop a self-centered, self-serving posture which narrows our view. We develop blinders which prevent us from realizing that ours is an interdependent society and that much of our personal success has been due to efforts of countless others. Perhaps we even fail to recognize that the thousands of items we all use each day are produced by individuals who each make their own small but important contribution to the economy.
This rather constricted view of our society and of the inaccurate sentiment with regard to the nature of money serves as a barrier for greater economic prosperity for all in two fundamental ways. First, it promotes the belief that money is sacrosanct, and that leads to an inflexible monetary policy toward solving economic problems. Second, this limiting viewpoint leads to the fallacious idea that each person is independent, with little obligation to participate in a cooperative effort.
For example, many accept economic ills such as recession, depression, and inflation as inevitable weaknesses in our free-enterprise system, conceding that there is no way to prevent these dilemmas. But could it be that these problems continue to vex us, in part, because of our preoccupation with money as a commodity rather than as a medium of exchange? Could it be that this preoccupation, this obsession, prevents us from attempting more imaginative, even unorthodox, approaches? Perhaps we should break from our preconceived notions and courageously embrace the idea that money is nothing more than an exchange medium, remembering what Adam Smith, the father of capitalism, exhorted: that “the real wealth of a nation is not the gold and silver laid up in its treasury, but the goods and services that its people produce and are able to enjoy.” Accepting this innovative outlook will open up new vistas for solving economic woes.
Here are some specifics. Inflation, in reality, is a euphemism for theft, resulting from the simultaneous and arbitrary increase in prices by producers of goods and services. Producers generally incur no increases in the cost of their production, so they automatically reap large windfall profits from the hikes they impose on their customers. To counter this unreasonable practice, we propose a bold remedy...the establishment of a board of monitors to evaluate price hikes of major producers and manufacturers. These monitors would be comprised of a small group of individuals who would determine whether price increases were justified. This board would also periodically publish a “fair-price” list for the benefit of the consumer. Producers would be encouraged to increase profits by increasing production, not by hiking prices. Those who venerate money as a commodity may be skeptical, seeing this plan as a departure from the old school. They may contend that inflation has a more academic cause, blindly accepting the old line of the so-called academic experts, who routinely continue to spout the same propaganda over and over: “Inflation is caused by too many dollars chasing too few goods or by deficit government spending.” They don't see that the real cause of inflation is simple unadulterated greed. It and it alone fuels the fires of inflation. It is not apparent to these people that some restraint must be applied to the greedy. The theorists are fearful of tampering with the law of supply and demand, insisting these two factors along with competition are sufficient for holding prices down. They don’t understand a fundamental truth: that because of price-fixing and price-gouging, true competition does not even exist.
So implementation of a price-monitoring board will help keep inflation in check; but, to counter inflation that has already occurred, we propose that the supply of circulating money be adjusted. Let us say, for example, there is a 1% rise in the cost of goods and services. In a $14 trillion economy, that’s equal to a $140 billion decrease in the supply of money…$140 billion dollars worth of goods and services which cannot be exchanged, or bought. We suggest replacing that missing $140 billion with new money. This will restore the balance between the money supply and the supply of available goods and services, enabling consumers to continue buying and saving the jobs of millions of workers.
Traditionalists may disagree. But remember we are only suggesting a restoration of monetary balance, not a wholesale printing of money. Once again a courageous pragmatic approach, unencumbered by orthodox ivory-tower theories, is indicated. Let us not forget either that the constitution gives the government the right to create money in an effort to guarantee every citizen the right to a job and adequate standard of living.
Another issue in need of reform is the minimum wage…currently at a rate which ensures that no matter how hard the individual works, abject poverty will be his or her lot. We believe that the minimum wage should be tied to the average national wage…that it should be no less than 15% of congressional salaries which should be frozen until this percentage is reached. The wage disparity in our country must be corrected.
Rejecting the concept of money as a commodity will help us accept a program for eliminating poverty, unemployment and welfare. By instituting a government-financed training program, we will at long last be providing every citizen with a means of earning a day’s pay for a day’s work. Those displaced from their old jobs by technology or for whatever reason will be retrained so that they may enter the work force again. This project will reduce unemployment, provide employers with a ready-trained work force and lift millions from poverty and the welfare trap. And, as a bonus, there is good reason to believe the crime rate will drop. If each individual has the opportunity to earn an honest living, theft becomes less attractive.
The Federal Reserve system is yet another area ripe for reform. Our antiquated ideas regarding the role of money have allowed this body to become dominated by the banking industry. By acquiescing to the demands of private banks, the members routinely raise interest rates, a major cause of inflation itself. We propose restructuring the Federal Reserve so that it is more responsive to the economic needs of the nation. This can be accomplished by freeing it from the control of the commercial banks. We will look at this in more detail later.
Nature’s Basic Law of Economics states that the real wealth of a nation is measured by the value of goods and services its workers can produce and enjoy from developing natural resources. When we confer a false value upon our exchange medium, money, we become self-centered and fail to realize the interdependent nature of our system. We then inevitably impose artificial constraints and limitations upon our ability to solve problems. This, in turn, prevents us from reaching our greatest potential.
When we embrace Nature’s Basic Law of Economics, we free ourselves of the idea that money has innate value, and we become less concerned about money for money’s sake. We see that the only real wealth are the goods and services produced by labor, the collective sweat of our brows. We see that personal assets are a reality because of our own hard work and because of the interdependent nature of our system and the hard work of countless others. Realizing that we don’t “make it alone,” we may be more willing to abandon the rigid precepts which are based on the false notion of money as a commodity. We may be more willing to consider programs which would help abolish unnecessary economic disasters such as inflation, recession, welfare, unemployment, crime and poverty.
If we stretch our minds enough to accept the fact that money has no worth except as an exchange medium, that we depend on each other for economic survival, and that an individual’s financial well-being is related directly to the well-being of others, then we may even be willing to accommodate a new approach to government.
To reiterate, Nature's Basic Law of Economics teaches: There are
only
two kinds of resources—people resources and natural resources. All
goods
and services are produced when people resources work with natural
resources.
As long as these two resources are available, there is no reason for
not
producing the goods and services needed and wanted by the people.
inflation: Euphemism for
Gouging orTheft
Yes, public education’s record of achievement is testimony to the soundness of the concept. In spite of the fact that they are beset by increasingly difficult problems, our public schools continue to function. But how much longer can they continue to be effective if we refuse to address their problems? Critics constantly remind us of high school graduates who can’t fill out job applications...of 12th graders who can’t solve sixth-grade mathematics problems...and of the millions who never finish their education. These situations are all too real; but are they the result of an inherently flawed system, or are they caused by our failure to make concerted efforts to improve and modernize the existing system? We submit that the latter is the case. The basic concept of public education is far superior on the whole to anything an elitist private educational system provides.
Public education should not be dismantled or even restructured. It only needs to be updated, to be brought into the 21st century, an approach, we believe, that will confront and ultimately solve two of its most pressing problems: (1) lack of teacher support, particularly in providing access to the latest innovations in electronic teaching equipment and methods, and (2) disruptions in the classroom caused by a small number of problem students.
Let’s examine these problems a little more closely. In reference to the first, technologically our approach to instruction is antiquated, having changed little since the one-room schoolhouse days. The teacher of 150 years ago was expected to educate, inspire and perhaps entertain a roomful of students with nothing more than a blackboard, a piece of chalk and a few textbooks, a daunting task even for that time. Walk into the average classroom today and likely you’ll see the teacher struggling to accomplish the same goals with basically the same tools, a near impossible task in today’s techno-environment. Nearly impossible because today’s students have been raised on television and computers. Their expectations and attention spans are geared to electronic media. How can a teacher maintain the interests of students in academics for six hours a day, five days a week, with only chalk and blackboard, given that at home most have the latest in sophisticated electronic gadgetry? How could we possibly expect the teacher to plan and implement an instructional program that could come anywhere close to the sparkling presentations the students are accustomed to seeing elsewhere...single presentations whose production requires the work of an army of professionals. We can’t. It’s far too much for one, an unrealistic demand. The solution is simple. We have to provide the teacher with help...help in the form of instructional media, such as computers, computer software, videotapes, CD-ROMs and any other relevant materials available which concentrate on the specific topics found in textbooks and presented by the teacher. Why shouldn’t we take advantage of the marvels technology has produced to improve our educational program and enhance the effectiveness of our teachers.
Updating our instructional methods will inevitably update the image of the teachers. With these aids, they can become directors of well thought out programs, with ample time to coordinate and plan peripheral activities for student enrichment. Then there would be time to clearly define learning objectives and time to plot a course by which these goals may be reached. Supervisors and administrators should work closely with their teachers in developing and carrying out curriculum objectives, and the federal, state, and local governments should take the lead, providing the necessary funding to ensure that these plans are realized.
The second pressing problem plaguing our public schools, that of disruptions in the classroom, must be addressed. Regardless of the equipment available to the teacher, teaching is impossible when there is constant disruption in the classroom. Most would agree that the teaching of proper conduct should begin in the home. Unfortunately, too many parents lack the skills required to teach their children the importance of good behavior. Others don’t have the time or, sadly, the concern.
To address this problem, we suggest assistance be directed toward the child and the parent. Alternative schools should be established in each area. Uncontrollable students would be removed from the traditional classroom and be required to attend sessions supervised and taught by counsellors specially trained to deal in discipline problems. Psychologists would also be available to help those with emotional and drug-related problems or those with learning disabilities. The goal would be to eventually return the child to the normal classroom setting. But behavior problems are likely to resurface if conflicts at home aren’t resolved. Therefore, we propose counselling services for the parents as well.
The investment in classroom equipment and in the personal services
for
the wayward is not insignificant. But can we afford to continue as
before?
One of the most crucially important institutions in our society, our
educational
system, needs our help. The productive potential of large numbers of
people
is being ignored. What will these uneducated cost our society? Plenty.
As someone once said, “If you think education is expensive, you ought

THE
PROBLEM WITH PUBLIC EDUCATION IS
ADMINISTRATIVE: by JAMES M. CARROLL
The purpose of this book is to show that the major problem
with public education is an adminstrative one.
All administrators including
the
National Department of
Education, the State Department of Education, the school board members,
the superintendents, the supervisors, and
the
school principals do not know what it is they are
supposed to be doing. From the beginning of time, all successful
people, succcessful enterprises,
etc., have followed three simple steps to success: having an
objective, formulating a plan, and implementing action. School
administrators violate the first step
which makes it impossible for them to follow the other two steps. They
do not have clear-cut objectives, much less a plan that will accomplish
the objective when given
action by the teachers. Consequently, every teacher is left to do his
or her own thing, rather than follow a successful plan that reaches the
objectives.When administrators
at the local level have clear-cut objectives for each course being
taught, a proven plan that will reach these objectives, and then see
that each teacher is following that plan, the public
will have the kind of educatrional system it wants and is already
paying for. With the slip-shod method of teaching without
clearly-defined objectives and proper supervision, the public
should be
thankful that public education education
does the job it is doing. The
problems of public education can be solved by simply following the
three steps that make anything a
success:
objective, plan, action. The modern-day school is satill just
a lot of one room schools under one roof, with each "schoolmarm:" doing
his or her own thing.

To more fully understand this, let's take a realistic look at how stock markets function. The rise and fall of the stock market is essential for the stock market to work at all. If prices continually decline, no one would buy stock. If stock prices continually increase, people would put all their money in the stock market, which would bankrupt the rest of the economy.
The economic effect of the rise and fall of the stock markets is a misconception and is, in fact, just the opposite of what people are told. Most of the hundreds of stocks that are listed on the New York Stock Exchange, NASDAQ and the American Exchange are not new stock issues. Most of them have been on the stock exchanges for years. When a new stock is issued to raise money to start a new company, it has a very positive effect on the economy by creating new jobs which produce more goods and services — the real wealth of a nation. What a stock sells for after the initial sale has no positive effect on the economy unless it sells for less. When the price of old stock drops, it takes fewer dollars to pay for the same stock certificate; therefore making more dollars available to purchase other items. If the price of an old stock goes up, it merely takes more dollars out of the economy to purchase the same stock certificate. This has the same destroying effect on the money supply as inflation.
The up and down cycles of the stock markets are made to work by the people who have seats on the stock exchanges, program buyers, and by institutional managers of many different kinds of pension, money-market , and a host of other funds. These people can make the stock market go up or down by selling or buying big blocks of stocks or by using any kind of psychological or capricious ideas around to justify their actions. Whichever direction the wind blows, the stockbrokers receive their commission. Stockbrokers have the best of both worlds; they get a commission when the stock is purchased and also when the stock is sold. Whether the stock is selling high or low or whether the stockholder is making money or losing money, the commission is still paid.
No one is suggesting that the stock markets should be done away with, but the real role they play in the economy ought to be understood so that their influence on economic stability is lessened. Whether the stock markets are up or down, the thing that should provide for a healthy, growing economy is an adequate money supply…one which can exchange all the goods and services the highly productive American workers produce.
The stock markets are truly legalized gambling for anyone who buys stock hoping that the price will increase so they can cash in their winnings. This legalized gambling is a good thing in a capitalistic system, making it possible for stockholders to become millionaires if they play it right; but the true value of any stock is found in the dividend that it pays per share in company earnings.
So that anyone…not just stockholders…might have the chance to become a millionaire, what is needed in America is a national lottery. Then every American can buy a lottery ticket each week for $5 with a one in a few million chances of becoming a millionaire. If a hundred million dollars is taken in each week, 25%, or $25 million, of the money should be invested in the stock market to help eventually pay off the national debt and the other 75% or $75 million should be given to 75 winners — which would produce 75 new millionaires each week. It could then truly be said that every American who has $5 has a chance to become a millionaire. If we have gambling casinos and the stock markets for the well-off, we should have a national lottery for all people.
THREE QUESTIONS EVERY NEWS PERSON SHOULDThe truth of the matter is that the system cannot go broke as long as there is a sufficient number of people working to produce the goods and services necessary to meet the demand of consumers. So long as adequate quantities of goods and services flow from the producers to the consumers, the issue of money supply is a moot point. We should recall that money in and of itself is worthless. Money functions only as a medium for the exchange of goods and services...commodities which do have real, intrinsic and tangible value. If we take care to maintain the equilibrium between the supply of goods and services and their demand, monetary equilibrium will inevitably follow, and the question of a bankrupt Social Security System will become meaningless.
The 21st century will see babyboomers reaching retirement age and changing demographics at a dizzying pace. The ratio of workers producing goods and services to retirees consuming them is steadily decreasing. That has been the trend since social security’s inception. In the 1940’s there were 12 workers for every retiree. Today the worker/retiree ratio is about 3 to 1. By 2010, there will only be two workers for each retiree. As these numbers become reality, our real worry should not be money inflow versus money outflow. Rather we should be concerned with whether there will be sufficient numbers of people in the work force to meet the demand generated by all those who will be consuming...those additional millions of retirees, who fuel the economy with spending but who produce no goods and services themselves. Again, if production and consumption are balanced, the money supply will self-adjust.
But how do we ensure that this equilibrium between production and consumption is sustained? The most obvious way is by keeping more people in the work force for a longer period. One way that may be accomplished is by extending the age of retirement from 65 to 68 or 70. How can we justify advancing the age of retirement, and how would that help alleviate the imbalance? Over the last several decades, medical science has steadily increased the human life span. At the time of social security's inception in the 1930’s, the average worker lived only to age 64; and, with retirement age set at 65, the number of those collecting benefits was relatively low. The surplus grew. But today the demographic picture is much different. The average life span is some 10 years greater. That, of course, translates into more people collecting benefits for a longer period of time. It also means there are many more consumers demanding goods and services...services produced by a shrinking (in relative terms) work force. Keeping individuals in the work force longer will ease pressure on two fronts: It reduces the financial drain on the system, and it ensures that sufficient numbers of workers will continue to produce goods and services to meet the increased demand. Productivity and consumption will once again be in balance.
Additionally, to encourge the elderly to continue working, flexible work schedules, both in hours per day and days per week should be adopted and the cap on earnings should be eliminated. Older workers should be allowed to earn as much as they want without the handicap of having their social security benefits reduced. With this incentive they may continue working for as long as they desire. These two steps, alone, will help maintain a labor supply sufficient for producing the goods and services demanded by increasing numbers of retirees.
To ensure that their later years are even more comfortable, employees should be encouraged early on in their careers to contribute to IRA’s. And employers should be allow to contribute deductible matching funds to the employee accounts. Upon retirement, these funds could be used to supplement social security payments.
The Social Security System trust fund, contrary to popular belief, has amassed a substantial surplus...some one-half trillion dollars to date. This money is not presently being invested so as to produce maximum return. But a portion, say 25%, allocated wisely in a diversified stock portfolio could return enormous revenues to the system with minimal risk. The additional income generated would ensure retirees an even more comfortable and worry-free later life.
Remember, social security is a pay-as-you-go proposition. As long as we make sure that we produce as much we consume, the system will continue to function, working for the next generation... and generations ad infinitum.
THE WAY TO
SAVE CAPITALISM AND
PRIVATE ENTERPRISE IS WITH
MIXTURISM.
The common sense approach. Businesses and Governments working
together to meet the needs and desires of all the people.
America is a republic. A country in which the
sovereign
power is vested in representatives chosen by the people.
Article
1,
Section 8, of the Constitution gives Congress the latitude it needs to
provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and
manage a healthy, growing economy at all times. Recession is an
excuse
for the inexcusable.
JIM
CRAMER OF CNBC MAKES A KINDERGRADEN APOLOGY FOR BEING WRONG
ON HIS PREDICTION ON THE STOCK MARKET IF THE HEALTH-CARE BILL PASSED.
SINCE THIS REPUBLICAN IDEOLOGY HAS BEEN ON THE AIR FOR FIVE YEARS, HE
SHOULD MOVE UP TO THE SIX GRADE AND KISS NANCY POLOSI'S DONKEY. HE ISN'T
HALF THE MAN THAT NANCY POLOSI IS A WOMEN, AND HE DOESN'T COME UP TO
THE
KNEES OF PRESIDENT OBAMA.
DOESN'T HIS SHOW BORDER ON INSIDER TRADING? WHO CONTROLS HIS CHARITY
FUND?
WHO DESIDES WHO GET THE MONEY? EVEN IF HE GIVES IT AWAY, THAT MAKES IT
THE
SAME, DOESN'T IT? WHAT ABOUT ALL THE EMPLOYEES OF CNBC WHO KNOW
IN ADVANCE
OF WHAT HE IS GOING TO PROMOTE? WHEN DOES HE BUY THE STOCK AND SELL IT
FOR HIS CHARITY?
WHEN DO THE EMPLOYEES OF NBC, GENERAL ELECTRIC, AND CNBC BUY AND SELL
THEIR STOCK?
JIM
CRAMER AND LARRY KUDLOW SHOULD BE PROMOTING FREE AND FAIR MARKET
MIXTURISM: BUSINESSES AND GOVERNMENT WORKING TOGETHER TO MEET THE
NEEDS
AND DESIRES OF ALL THE PEOPLE INSTEAD OF PROMOTING DO NOTHING
REPUBLICANS AND
FREE MARKET CAPITALISM. THE CONSTITUTION CALLS FOR MIXTURISM.
WHY
DOES CNBC DISCLAIM EVERYTHING CRAMER SAYS? DOES CNBC THINK IT EXCUSES
THEM
FROM INSIDER TRADING?
THERE
IS A NEED FOR SUCH SHOWS ON CNBC STOCK CHANNEL, BUT NOT ANOTHER FOX
NEWS TO BASH
OUR GREAT GOVERNMENTS FROM CITY, COUNTY, STATE AND FEDERAL GOVERNMENT
THAT STANDS UP FOR
THE PEOPLE AND THEIR WELFARE. WHEN NINETY-FIVE PERCENT OF THE PEOPLE
WORK THEIR BUBS AND BALLS
OFF EVERY DAY FOR THE OTHER FIVE PERCENT WHO CONTROL ALL THE WEALTH,
THEY NEED SOMEONE. THEY
NEED BIG GOVERNMENT.
BUSINESSES
BRAG EVERY DAY ON THESE SHOWS ABOUT ALL THE MONEY THEY HAVE STORED ON
COMPUTER
CHIPS FROM MOVING GOODS AND SERVICES BY HOLDING IT IN RESERVE INSTEAD
OF HIRING UNEMPLOYED
PEOPLE. IF 90 % OF THE PEOPLE CAN PRODUCE ALL THE GOODS AND
SERVICES NEEDED, WHY NOT LOWER THE
WORK WEEK FROM 40 HOURS TO 36 HOURS?
BUYERS AND SELLERS
REALTY, INC.
WHY
ARE THE FREE MARKET CAPITALIST SO DUMB?
If the Free Market Capitalist cared about the consumer, instead of
raising price-- they
would increase production when there is more demand for their goods. I
am not aganist
Free and Fair Market Capitalism. I believe that Business and Government
should work
together to meet the needs and desires of all the people. This is what
I call Mixturism.
WHEN WILL THE IDIOTS OF WALL STREET
REALIZE THAT IT IS GOODS AND
SERVICES THAT HAVE REAL VALUE?
BAILOUTS ARE NEEDED TO PUT MORE
MONEY INTO THE
ECONOMY? MONEY IS THE MEDIUM OF EXCHANGE. LARRY
KUDLOW OF CNBC IS A PERFECT
EXAMPLE OF A PERFECT IDIOT.
The world needs to re-think money
by putting it second instead of first. We need to put goods and
services first and money second..
Goods and services is what has real value. Money is the medium
of exchange. The financial markets
in America and now Europe ought to be proff enough that Central
Banks have to create more money as
goods and services increase. Only Central Governments have the
control of the money supply and
have a responsibility to be sure there is an adequate supply at
all time.
The first paragraph of economics
101 should state: There are only two kinds of resources--people
resources
and natural resources. All goods
and services are produced when people resources work with natural
resources.
As long as these two resources are
available, there is no reason for not producing the goods and services
needed
and wanted by the people. Money
can be created when needed. Article 1, Section 8, of the Constitution
gives
the Federal Government of the USA
all the power it needs to keep a balanced money supply at all times.
THANKS TO NATURE FOR BAILOUTS!!!
THE
WAY TO HANDLE THE AFTERMATH OF TERRORISM AND NATURAL DISASTERS
We need a National Disaster
Insurance Policy by the Federal Government
that will replace one on one
all the damage caused by a natural
disaster or terrorism,Then we need
to quickly clean up all the mess
and then move on. It will happen
again and again. We can not and should
not change who we are .We
are a FREE PEOPLE where the
individual, in the mist of 300 million
people, is a person with full rights
as granted by our great
Constitution. That is is what our military and
police men and women die for
every day. CLEAN UP THE MESS,
REPLACE IT, AND MOVE ON.
WELCOME
TO MODERATE AND LIBERAL REPUBLICANS TO THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY
Moderate and liberal republicans
will never find any comfort in the
Republican Party. The Party wants
only people who do not think,
and who want to keep things as is. Let
the right wing and the Tea Party
have the Republican Party. The
Democratic Party is not liberal enough;
moderate and liberal republicans
will find comfort.
"DRILL BABY DRILL"!!
Where is Lary Kudlow of CNBC, General Electric, the Republicans, the
Tea Party, Sarah
Palin, BP Oil, Wall Street, and the Free Market Capitalist? Will this
crew clean up the Gulf Oil Spill?
"DRILL,BABY,DRILL" All the Free Market Capitalist and Wall Street cares
about the people is their sweat.
All they care about the environment is the money they can extract from
it."DRILL, BABY, DRILL." Why can't
they collect the oil at the hole? WHERE ARE ALL OF THESE "SMART, SMART,
PEOPLE" OF BP OIL?
Mixturism, unlike other “isms,” would not put people into straightjackets as they try to solve their economic problems. Other “isms” allow for only certain methods to be used in solving problems and limit the number of solutions acceptable to them. In mixturism, the solution to the problem is deemed more important than the method used to find the solution or the method by which the solution is used.
Mixturism would not destroy any system that presently exists, but would call for the flexability to use what is good in all systems to solve the problems of the people of this planet. Violent revolution and terrorism can be avoided if nations are flexible in their approaches to problems and to their solutions.
Mixturism is a proper mixing of private and public enterprise in any activity of a socioeconomic system so that the needs of all people in the society can be best met and progress promoted for all the people of this planet. The mixing of private and public enterprise, or the partnership of private and public enterprise, should be similar to a reversible reaction.
If public enterprise can do a better job than private enterprise in any area of endeavor, then private enterprise must give way to public enterprise. When private enterprise can do a better job than public enterprise, then public enterprise must give way to private enterprise. When neither enterprise by itself can fill the vacuum that exists in economic development, then private and public enterprise must form a partnership to fill the vacuum. The needs of the people must take preference over profit. Meeting the needs of all the people must be the determining factor as to which enterprise...private, public, or joint private and public...is to be used.
The chief goal of people is to survive their duration on this planet in the best possible fashion. Progress, or achievement of the “best possible fashion,” is anything which leads to every person on this planet having the best of all the goods and services that are needed for quality living. At the very least, every person should enjoy the right to a good job, health care and enough space for a home and a place of privacy for the duration of life.
The struggle between socialism and capitalism revolves around the questions of whether every person has a right to a job at wages high enough for quality living. Some say there has to be a top and bottom. If this is true, the bottom should be quality living. No one should be opposed to anyone living rich, just to anyone living poor.
Governments have two main functions: first, to guarantee the rights and freedoms of its people and, second, to provide a political and economic system whereby the people can have quality living. Since the time of the Bill of Rights and the Constitution, governments have had available to them a prototype >
Any government which does not guarantee its people the means to obtain jobs at wages high enough for quality living has fallen short of its duty to its people. Through the philosophy of mixturism, a government can provide and guarantee quality living for all its people by creating a reserve-retraining work force which would eliminate the need for welfare and unemployment. We'll look in detail at this later.
Mixturism is a middle-of-the-road, hybrid doctrine. It borrows the best features of both capitalism and socialism. Mixturism is pragmatic. It asks what is the problem and what is the solution. It employs whatever method will solve the problem most effectively, regardless of labels. If public programs are judged to be the more appropriate approach for the solution of a specific problem, then that is the method used. If private enterprise can do a better job, then that approach is taken.
Mixturism is not dogmatic or preferential in deciding whether government or business or both together tackle the problem. The only criterion applied is who can do the job better. The notion that governments should subscribe to only one type of political philosophy at a time, one “ism” is fallacious. With mixturism, the solution to the problem is more important than the philosophy or methodology.
We may draw a stunning analogy between the evolution of life on earth and the development of human society. The first life forms were primitive, yet completely autonomous, single-celled organisms. For a time, they existed quite well without assistance from others. As the number of organisms increased, many cells began to live together, forming colonies. Soon, particular cells in the group began to evolve differently and to specialize in varied tasks for the benefit of the group. With this division of labor, an interdependence slowly emerged. Now cells counted on their neighbors to perform services for them. We see the same scenario unfolding in human culture. Individuals in the beginning were self-reliant, able to meet all needs themselves. This period was followed by group living, and that followed by division of labor, the result of which is in an interdependent society.
We are now far removed from that society of rugged individualism. We have transformed our society into a culture whose individual members depend on one another. We must therefore develop a government ethic which reflects and nurtures that concept. Mixturism fills that bill best, for it ensures that the government takes an active role in guaranteeing the rights and freedoms of its people in providing a system whereby everyone might enjoy a quality standard of living. It also ensures that the country contributes to the UN peace-keeping efforts and maintains a strong national defense. Any government that does less for its citizenry falls short of meeting its goals.

HAS
THE NEWS MEDIA NEVER READ ARTICLE 1, SECTION 8, OF THE CONSTITUTION?
If they have, they should know that the Federal Government has all the
power it needs to control the
money supply; and to create all the money needed to exchange all the
goods and services that the
hands and minds of people can produce. They should know that the hands
of the Government
should not be tied when it comes to bailing out the uncontrolled Free
Market Capitalist in
order to save the whole economy.
BIG GOVERNMENT VERY IMPORTANT!!!
With the Free Market Capitalist running wild with every Tom, Dick, Jane
and Mary
doing his or her own thing without regard for anyone else, we need an
entity big
enough to put the train back on track when it runs off the track. If
there had been
a big Government in 1930, the great depression could have been
prevented.
SELL
THE GOLD AT FORT KNOX
Since
the Government is on paper money and can and should produce all we
need, we
should sell all the gold at Fort Knox and pay down the National Debt
which the Republicans
think is so important; even if they have a false impression of the
National Debt, this would
take away all their talking points.
ECONOMIC MELT DOWN
DON'T BLAME THE GOVERNMENT FOR THE
ECONOMIC MELT DOWN. BLAME THE
UNCONTROLED FREE MARKET CAPTALIST.
YOU SHOULD BE THANKING PRESIDENT
OBAMA AND THE DEMOCRAT CONGRESS FOR
BAILING OUT THE GREED OF WALL
STREET IN ORDER TO PREVENT ANOTHER
DEPRESSION. THE TRAIN IS BACK ON
TRACK; DON'T DERAIL IT BY VOTING
FOR REPUBLICANS.
JOBS ARE BACK
BIG BUSINESS WILL CREATE THE NEW JOBS; THEY HAVE THE MONEY UNDER THEIR
MATTRESS.
SMALL BUSINESSES DO NOT HAVE THE MONEY AND CAN'T GET IT. With three
million baby boomers
retiring this year and more in the years to follow, big business
realize they must hire now or get left behind.They
want the best of the experience unemployed, and they know that now is
the time to hire them. The unemployment
rate will be below 6% come November. This off year election will be
different; the republicans will lose big time.
Big business has trillons of dollars stored in cyber space; they have
stopped the buck; they are going to hire, hire!!
With the billions of stimulus money and the billions of bailout money,
all
of the bucks turned lose by the Central Bank
has the Obama train rolling around the bend and picking up speed and
bring the jobs back. Labor will soon be in the
driver's seat. PRAISE TO OBAMA AND THE DEMOCRATIC CONGRESS!!!
TO
BIG TO FAIL
A bad idea promoted by ignorant people like Larry Kudlow of CNBC. The
Federal Government
should not tie her hands. Since the Federal Government controls the
money supply, it has the power to
bailout what ever needs to be bailed out. The Constitution does not
say that America has to be an
uncontroled Free Market Capitalist system. The Federal Government is
the only entity worth a
quadrillion dollars. If it ever goes broke, we can have Golden Sach
take it public.The bailout was
a good thing. It prevented a great depression. We need to be able
to do it again if we need to.
The tax payers made money on the bailout. We should have learned how
to use a new tool.
The federal Government is the only entity big enough, and has the power
to create money to
keep balance in the economy; and bring the economy in balance when it
get out of balance.
Praise be to big government, and its ability to act and bring balance
when the Free Market
Capitalist screw things up!!!
SAVE
FANNIE MAE AND FREDDY MAC SO THEY CAN MAKE MORE PRIME SUB LOANS AND
GET MORE PEOPLE IN GOOD HOUSING.
We should not lose track that the
houses built are still
there and have real value.
Contractors made millions, millions of
people had jobs and bought millions
of goods and services. Money is
the medium which the Government can
create plenty. Goods and services
have real value.
CHEIF
JUSTICE JOHN GLOVER ROBERTS JR. SHOULD RESIGN. THIS REPUBLICAN IDEOLOGY

CORPORATIONS THE RIGHT TO DESTROY THE
POLITICAL
SYSTEM WITH UNLIMITED

LARRY KUDLOW OF CNBC IS A FIRST CLASS IDIOT, AND SARAH PALIN IS A
SECOND CLASS.
GENERAL ELECTRIC PRODUCTS ARE NO BETTER; IT OWNS CNBC.
LET GREECE DEFAULT. GREECE IS JUST A
DROP IN THE OCEAN. LET US FIND OUT WHAT WILL HAPPEN .
IT WILL STOP THE WALL STREET

HAVE REAL VALUE, THEY CAN DROP THE
EURO AND CREATE THIER OWN MONEY. THE DEBT HAS ALREADY
MOVE ALL THE GOODS AND SERVICES IT
IS GOING TO. GET THE DEBT OFF YOUR BACK, GREECE; AND YOU
CAN MOVE ON TO GREATER THINGS.
MONEY
IS ONLY PAPER AND BYTES ON A COMPUTER CHIP. GOODS AND
SERVICES HAVE REAL VALUE.
THE
FED SHOULD NOT RAISE INTEREST
RATES NOW OR IN THE NEAR FUTURE. IT SHOULD KNOW THAT
INFLATION IS A EUPHEMISM FOR
THEFT. INTEREST RATES SHOULD BE LOW AND
STABLE ALL THE TIME.
WE
NEED A CABINET DEPARTMENT OF CONSUMERS AFFAIRS TO PROTECT THE CONSUMERS
FROM
PRICE GOUGING BY THE BIG FREE
MARKET CAPITALIST.
WEST
VIRGINIA COAL INDUSTRY IS A GOOD EXAMPLE OF LARRY KUDLOW OF CNBC
UNCONTROLLED FREE MARKET CAPITALISM AT WORK. YOU DON'T HAVE TO GO
TO
AVATAR TO SEE THE STRONG RUN OVER THE WEAK; JUST GO TO WEST VIRGINIA.
Every time I hear Larry Kudlow extolling the virtues of Free Market
Capitalism and his Tea Party and the
Republican Party, I get a hammer and beat on a General Electric
product. General Electric is the owner
of CNBC. The consumer can and should fight back.
STUDENT
LOANS--CONGRESS STOPS THE DEVIL DAMN BANKS FROM SKIMMING THE

What is the Federal Reserve System?
“The Fed,” as the system is often called, was established in 1913 by the U.S. government to regulate the economy by monetary policy. It does that by controlling the supply of money and the cost and availability of credit. The Fed is headed by a Board of Governors. The Board’s seven members are appointed by the President of the United States and approved by the Senate. Nonetheless they serve overlapping fourteen-year terms and are largely independent of both Congress and the White House. The Federal Reserve is the central banking system of the United States; it operates through twelve Federal Reserve Banks and twenty-five branches across the nation. All national banks and about 10 percent of state banks are members of the system. When banks need money, they may borrow from the Federal Reserve System. Through its control of the flow of money and credit within the United States, the Fed attempts to pump more money into the economy when a recession threatens. In a time of rising prices and excessive spending, the Fed normally tries to tighten the supply of money and credit so that people will have less to spend. The Fed works chiefly in four ways:

GOV. OF CALF. IS RIGHT MORE MONEY FROM THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT
Since the states gave up their right to create money, the Federal
Government has the
responsibility to create the money the states need to balance their
budgets. Article 1,
Section 8, of the Constitution gave the Federal Government power to
create money.
Money must be created first before equal value can be created. The
Federal Government
needs to create enough new money now to give each state five hundred
million dollars for
each member of congress, which would be equal distribution. Goods and
services is what
has real value--not money, which is mostly numbers on a computer chip.
Over 5% growth
in GDP proves that money must be created before equal value can be
created. The stimulas
and the bail-outs of banks and auto makers.

SOLUTIONS
TO CALIFORNIA'S
MONEY
PROBLEMS
California could create its own
money by making it good only in the state of
California and exchangeable with
the dollar in California. Since the Federal Government
has a stupid money policy, there
is no need for California to be broke when money is only
a medium of exchange for goods and
services. California could withdraw from the United States
and become a new country. It could
then create its own money supply like 191 other countries-- which
would be good anywhere in the world. This would get the USA of the off of a gold standard mentality.
Article 1, Section 8, Constitution gives the Federal
Government the power to keep a balanced money supply. New money
should be made available to all
the states without any matching funds required for creating jobs
and funding new
businesses which produces new
jobs. Goods and services have real value. Money is only numbers
on a computer chip
which exchanges goods and services.

TAX
THE RICH AND TURN THE BUCK LOOSE
If we want to create jobs, we need
to get the dollar moving.
The rich have all the money
stashed under the mattrerss ( on
a computer chip). Big businesses
have trillions of dollars stored
in cyber space.
The only way to stop the buck from
moving goods and services
and creating jobs after it is
released is to tax it out of the economy, store
it on a computer chip, steal it by
upping prices and calling it inflation or by
growing the economy--which is the
best way by creating more jobs and more
goods and services.
WE
NEED TO RE-THINK THE MEDIUM OF EXCHANGE
Taxation should be for the purpose of taking money out of circulation
and putting money into circulation. This could be done by indexing the
tax system
so money could be put in or taken out by lowering or raising the index
number. The
key is to have a medium of exchange equivalent to the good and services
to be exchanged.
The Federal Government should use Article 1, Section 8, of the
Constitution to created any
new money needed to pay for Government programs, and give to the
50 states money needed
to balance their budgets. We do not ever need to borrow money
from China or any other country.
The National Debt is not needed. Goods and services is what has
value; and as long as there
are people able to work and resources, we can produce them.

MODEL FOR UNIVERSAL HEALTH CARE.
Let the
Federal Government put
all the people on Medicare, and let
the insurance companies provide the supplement plan like they do for
retires.
We don’t need to put money down a rat hole by subsidizing insurance
companies.
Medicare did not socialize medicine. People still choose their own
doctor. Private
companies still run the hospitals. Private insurance companies sell the
supplement
insurance. This is Mixturism: Business and Government working together
to provide
health insurance for senior citizens. It is the right way to cover all
people in America.
THE CONSTITUTION
Article 1, Section 8
The
congress shall have power to lay and collect taxes, duties, impost and
excises, to pay the debts and
provide for the common defense and general welfare of the United
States; to borrow money on the credit
of the United States; TO COIN MONEY, REGULATE THE VALUE THEREOF, AND OF
FOREIGN COIN,
AND FIX THE STANDARD OF WEIGHTS AND MEASURES...
The
Five-Finger Common Sense Agenda
1. ADEQUATE
MONETARY
SYSTEM:
The three functions of the Federal Reserve are to lower or
raise
discount rates, to buy or sell securities on the open
market, and to
lower or raise the reserve requirements for member
banks.These are
inadequate
for
maintaining a balanced money supply at all times. Adding a
FOURTH
FUNCTION
to the monetary system that would index the PAYROLL TAX on a
scale of
1 to 15 would bring balance.
The index could be lowered when more money is desired in the consumers'
pockets
and raised when less is needed.
2.
RESERVE RETRAINING WORK
FORCE:
The greatest problem
facing
EMPLOYMENT AND
UNEMPLOYMENT TOO.
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.
3. ALL
AMERICANS WHO
WANT TO OWN A HOME-- HOME OWNERSHIP SHOULD
BE POSSIBLE
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 5% FOR UP TO 50 YEARS.
4.
HEALTH-CARE
SYSTEM
Since
the average hospital claim is about $8000.00,
the
Federal government could pay all claims
over $8000.00 for a lot less than the proposed health-care bill now
before Congress. This will bring
real competition.Without having to
worry about
the one claim in a million for a million dollars, small businesses and small
organizations could self-insure which would bring about competition in
the
insurance
industry where none now exist.
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. BY USING THE BEST OF
SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY, WE
COULD
SPEND A
BILLION DOLLARS
ON EVERY COURSE BEING TAUGHT IN HIGH SCHOOL THAT
WOULD TEACH EVERYTHING KNOWN ON THE SUBJECT BY
EXPERTS; AND THAT WOULD
BE
CHEAPER THAN WHAT WE ARE
NOW SPENDING.
MIXTURISM
The rational economic, ethical and political philosophy for the 21st century and beyond
Authored by James M. Carroll, First Printing, September 1996
We have previously defined mixturism as the
private sector
working together
with the public sector to meet the needs of the
people a common sense approach. The
idea that the use of one
economic system, such as socialism or
capitalism, can
meet the needs of all the people is a fallacy.
In order to encompass
the
different needs and desires of many people, economic systems must be
flexible.
Mixturism, unlike other “isms,” would not put people into
straightjackets as
they try to solve their economic problems. Other “isms” allow for only
certain
methods to be used in solving problems and limit the number of
solutions
acceptable to them. In mixturism, the solution
to the problem is deemed
more
important than the method used to find the solution or the method by
which the
solution is used.
Mixturism would not destroy any system that presently exists, but
would call
for the flexability to use what is good in all systems to solve the
problems
of
the people of this planet. Violent revolution and terrorism can be
avoided if
nations are flexible in their approaches to problems and to their
solutions.
Mixturism is a proper mixing of private and public enterprise in any
activity
of a socioeconomic system so that the needs of all people in
the
society can be
best met and progress promoted for all the people of
this
planet. The mixing of private and
public enterprise, or the partnership
of
private and public enterprise, should be similar to a reversible
reaction.
If public enterprise can do a better job than private enterprise in
any area
of endeavor, then private enterprise must give way to public
enterprise.
When
private enterprise can do a better job than public enterprise, then
public
enterprise must give way to private enterprise. When neither
enterprise
by
itself can fill the vacuum that exists in economic development, then
private and
public enterprise must form a partnership to
fill the vacuum. The needs
of the
people must take preference over profit. Meeting the needs of
all the
people
must be the determining factor as to which enterprise...private,
public, or
joint private and public...is to be used.
The chief goal of people is to survive their duration on this planet
in the
best possible fashion. Progress, or achievement of the “best possible
fashion,”
is
anything which leads to every person on this planet having the best
of all the
goods and services that are needed for quality living. At the very
least, every
person should enjoy the right to a good job, health care and enough
space for a
home and a place of privacy for the duration of life.
The struggle between socialism and capitalism revolves around the
questions
of whether every person has a right to a job at wages high enough
for
quality
living. Some say there has to be a top and bottom. If this is true, the
bottom
should be quality living. No one should be opposed to anyone living
rich, just
to anyone living poor.
Governments have two main functions: first, to guarantee the rights
and
freedoms of its people and, second, to provide a political and economic
system
whereby the people can have quality living. Since the time of the Bill
of
Rights and the Constitution, governments
have had available to them a
prototype
by which the world could be brought to a higher degree of development.
Any government which does not guarantee its people the means to
obtain jobs
at wages high enough for quality living has fallen short of its duty to
its
people.
Through the philosophy of mixturism, a government can provide
and
guarantee quality living for all its people by creating
a
reserve-retraining
work force which would eliminate the need for welfare and unemployment.
We'll
look in detail at this later.
Mixturism is a middle-of-the-road, hybrid doctrine. It borrows the
best
features of both capitalism and socialism. Mixturism is pragmatic. It
asks what
is
the problem and what is the solution. It employs whatever method
will solve
the problem most effectively, regardless of labels. If public programs
are
judged to be the more appropriate approach for the solution of a
specific
problem, then
that is the method used. If private enterprise can do a
better
job, then that approach is taken.
Mixturism is not dogmatic or preferential in deciding whether
government or
business or both together tackle the problem. The only criterion
applied is
who
can do the job better. The notion that governments should subscribe to
only one
type of political philosophy at a
time, one “ism” is fallacious. With
mixturism, the solution to the problem is more important than the
philosophy or
methodology.
We may draw a stunning analogy between the evolution of life on
earth and
the development of human society. The first life forms were primitive,
yet
completely autonomous, single-celled organisms. For a time, they
existed quite
well without assistance from others. As the number of organisms
increased, many
cells began to live together, forming colonies. Soon, particular cells
in the
group began to evolve differently and to specialize in varied tasks for
the
benefit
of the group. With this division of labor, an interdependence
slowly
emerged. Now cells counted on their neighbors to perform services for
them. We
see
the same scenario unfolding in human culture. Individuals in the
beginning
were self-reliant, able to meet all needs themselves. T
his period was
followed
by group living, and that followed by division of labor, the result of
which is
in an interdependent society.
We are now far removed from that society of rugged individualism. We
have
transformed our society into a culture whose individual members depend
on one
another. We must therefore develop a government ethic which reflects
and
nurtures that concept. Mixturism fills that bill best, for it ensures
that the
government takes an active role in guaranteeing the rights and freedoms
of its
people in providing a system whereby everyone might enjoy a quality
standard
of
living. It also ensures that the country contributes to the UN
peace-keeping
efforts and maintains
a strong national defense. Any government that
does less
for its citizenry falls short of meeting its goals.
TEN BILLION DOLLARS
ENDOWNMENT FOR A HOME LOAN FUND
FOR PEOPLE MAKING TEN DOLLARS AN HOUR OR UNDER
Now is the time for the Federal Government to set up a home ownership
fund for people making ten dollars an hour or less so these people can
own their own home. Every person would be able to get at least one loan
to buy a house that the payment would not be over 30% of their income.
Good
credit, bad credit or no credit everyone would be egible. Interest
rates would
be low and fixed for up to a period of 40 years.
NATIONALIZE THE BANKING
SYSTEM
You can
call it Free Enterprise if you like,
but the
banking system controls the faucet for the life blood of all
enterprise.
It can
put the economy on its back, and it can put people in soup lines.
Interest
rates should always be low and
stable, and money should always be
available to
exchange the goods and services that the hands and minds of people
produce.
There is no need ever for a roller
coaster economy of booms and busts.
The
medium of exchange
is too important to all
enterprise to be in the
hands of
private enterprise.
RECESSION
is a product of the blatant ignorance of the
President, Congress, Economists, and
the News Media who do not
understand
Nature's Basic Law of Economics, and
Article 1, Section 8, of the
Constitution.
Nature’s Basic Law
of Economics states:
All goods and services flow from the action of people resources on
natural
resources— Money is the medium of exchange which should be equal
to the
value
of the goods and
services—and not to a gold standard or some other
insane idea.

PARTY HAS ABOUT MONEY. They have not read Article 1, section
8, of
the Constitution which gives
the Federal Government the power to create
money
equivalent to the value of the goods and services
the American people
produce.
The lack of money is the cause of this recession.
Limbaugh, Bill
O’Reily,
Hannity’s America (not a place I would like to live), and Glen Beck
(who have
no shame) is
overwhelming the ideas that cause economic problems, and
then they try
to prevent problems from being solved by feeding their ignorant ideas
to the Republicans.
REPUBLICANS COULD UPSTAGE DEMOCRATS
If Republicans would take two great steps
forward by
forcing Democrats to support a
one pay Universal
Health-Care
System and
a new Department of Consumers
Affairs, they could win the
hearts and
minds of millions.
Universal Health Care would
make it possible for all Ma and Pa businesses to compete with the
Wal-Mart’s
which
killed millions of small businesses. It would help many small
businesses
with fewer than twenty five employees to
compete with larger companies.
With a
Department of ConsumersAffairs,
consumers
could control the price gouging by
big oil and big business which destroys the medium of exchange.
NATIONAL DEBT…
Those who think
that
As long as
he present national debt has already moved the goods
and services. It has no more value. It never needed to be in the first
place.
It only exists because of the belief that money should be tied
to something
other than the value of the goods and services it exchanges.
TAXATION should be
one of a
three- legged stool consisting of: creating money, borrowing money and
taxing in order to have
a balanced money supply. Taxation should be
on a fixed
rate—but indexed. Creating new
money
should be accepted.
Borrowing
money should be given more thought.

services.
Why
doesn’t the news media know that the word INFLATION
My Vision For the 21st Century and
Beyond
For many people around the world, the coming
of the
year 2000 seems to have little significance...nothing more than a
change of
numbers on the calendar
or a different set of digits on a computer
screen or in
a personal checkbook. But I view the approach of the new
millennium quite
differently. To me, it
seems a most auspicious occasion, truly a time
for a new
beginning for humankind...a time when human hearts, minds and souls
will be
receptive to a new
philosophy, a time when people around the world will
long
for and finally achieve a common mindset...leading to a collective
attitude
that, for the first time in human history, will usher in a long-lasting
era of
peace and prosperity for all citizens of planet earth.
Indeed, by the year 2000, many factors
favoring an
instant mindset change will already be in place...communicative,
scientific,
and technological advancements; improved
worldwide economic conditions;
settlement of geographic disputes; and growing political and religious
tolerance. These factors will give citizens of planet earth cause
to
reflect, to adopt a new mindset one making it possible for those
who
have
plenty to have even more and those who have not, to have plenty.
At the center of this new mindset are three
fundamental principles: One, the world is now, more than ever before,
an
interdependent society, one where citizens of
one country need the
products and
services of many others. Two, supplies of both people resources and
natural
resources already exist which are sufficient for supplying
goods and
services
to satisfy the needs and desires of the entire world. Three, the
United
Nations can be restructured in the following ways: It should be
empowered with
authority to function as the world s police, with the
ability for
enforcing a new world order; it should have the right to hold leaders
of any
nation responsible for conflicts they
might cause; and it should have
powers of
indictment for the purpose of bringing them to justice. The
United
Nations should
dedicate itself to helping nations to work together to
bring
about practical solutions to common problems.
But how can we bring about a spirit of cooperation
between
government, business and the people? How can we unite public and
private
sectors in a working
relationship such that the doors to individual
opportunity
will be flung wide open for all? How can we reshape our community
so that
all people will be able to find
their way into society and reap fully
the
rewards of their labors? The answer, mixturism, a philosophy that
blends the
best features of public and private enterprise where pragmatism, not
labels,
rules.
History has shown that pure capitalism and pure
socialism
are deeply flawed. When one or the other system is practiced
exclusively, problems
are created, not solved.
On the other hand, mixturism applies
whichever
approach seems most likely to solve a problem, regardless of whether it
involves the private sector, the public sector, or joint private
and
public
sectors working together.
The philosophy of mixturism recognizes that there are five basic human
needs
which must be met: First, we must have a health care system that will
provide
the very best
in medical care for everyone, from conception to death.
Individual personal income should not determine eligibility. Second, we
must
develop a public and private system
of education that will provide the
best
possible academic and vocational training for all people. Third, we
must
establish a reserve-retraining work-force system, surrounded
and
supported by
full-service child-care capabilities. With such a system in place, no
one who
wants a job will ever be without one. Fourth, we must make it
possible
for
every person to have a decent place to live, be it a house, an
apartment or
a condominium. To achieve this, we must be courageous enough to limit
the
number of people
through sensible population control. Fifth, we must
have a
monetary system that will provide a balanced
money supply at all times,
one
that is equivalent to the goods and services people s hands
and minds
can
produce.
Mixturism addresses all these basic human needs. But to
maximize
the effectiveness of this philosophy, individuals must assume
responsibility
for their own
success in life, recognizing that the family is paramount
and
that concern for the well-being of others is crucial to maintaining a
civilized
order. Each nation
must work toward becoming a democratic society and
must
guarantee its people an individual bill of rights. The United
Nations
must protect these rights.
But we must also ensure that the
To more fully understand this, let's take a realistic look at how
stock markets function. The rise and fall of the stock market is
essential for the stock market to work
at all. If prices continually
decline, no one would buy stock. If stock prices continually
increase,
people would put all their money in the stock market, which would
bankrupt the rest of the economy.
The economic effect of the rise and fall of the stock markets is a
misconception and is, in fact, just the opposite of what people are
told. Most of the hundreds of
stocks that are listed on the New York
Stock Exchange, NASDAQ and the American Exchange are not new stock
issues. Most of them have been on the stock
exchanges for years. When a
new stock is issued to raise money to start a new company, it has a
very positive effect on the economy by creating new jobs which
produce
more goods and services — the real wealth of a nation. What a stock
sells for after the initial sale has no positive effect on the economy
unless it sells for less.
When the price of old stock drops, it takes
fewer dollars to pay for the same stock certificate; therefore making
more dollars available to purchase other items.
If the price of an old
stock goes up, it merely takes more dollars out of the economy to
purchase
the same stock certificate. This has the same destroying
effect on the money supply as inflation.
The up and down cycles of the stock markets are made to work by the
people who have seats on the stock exchanges, program buyers, and by
institutional managers
of many different kinds of pension, money-market
, and a host of other funds. These people can make the stock market go
up or down by selling or buying big blocks
of stocks or by using any
kind of psychological or capricious ideas around to justify their
actions. Whichever direction the wind blows, the stockbrokers receive
their
commission. Stockbrokers have the best of both worlds; they get a
commission when the stock is purchased and also when the stock is sold.
Whether the stock is selling high or low or whether the stockholder is
making money or losing money, the commission is still paid.
No one is suggesting that the stock markets should be done away
with, but the real role they play in the economy ought to be understood
so that their influence on
economic stability is lessened. Whether the
stock markets are up or down, the thing that should provide for a
healthy, growing economy is an
adequate money supply…one which can
exchange all the goods and services the highly productive American
workers produce.
If your Congresswoman isn’t bringing
home some pork, get rid of him or her and elect
someone who can. What
do these
idiots think we elect them to do? Pork produces jobs.
Someone ought to get an
earmark and study the bridge to nowhere to see how many jobs it
created, how
many pairs
of shoes were sold, how many cars were bought, how many
homes were sold, and how many tables was bread put on.
THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT
CAN NOT GO BANKRUPT; IT HAS THE
POWER TO
CREATE MONEY (ARTICLE 1, SECTION 8, OF THE CONSTITUTION).
HOW
CAN THE INTELLIGENTSIA OF AMERICA BE SO BLINDED that they cannot see
that the
Federal Government must
have a money system that can create and
maintain an
equivalent ratio of money to the goods and services that its peoples’
hands and
minds can produce? Nature’s Basic Law
of Economics
states:
All goods and services flow from the action of
people resources on
natural
resources— Money is the medium of exchange which should be equal to
the
value
of the goods and services—and not to a gold standard or some other
insane idea.
MONEY FOR BOTH
DOMESTIC AND
DEFENSE
The question should
be: are
there people resources and natural resources available for both?
Money
can be
created (Article 1, section 8, of the Constitution). When are we going
to wake
up?

The efficiency of

clearing houses for financial institutions has dried up trillions of
dollars in

the internet with Pay Pal and the many other ways that
money can
instantly be
taken out of bank accounts has dried up the money supply. When you could beat a local check to the
bank and
when it took an out of town check ten days to clear the bank, there

billions of dollars that could be
spent by the depositors and billions
that
could be loaned out by the banks. WHERE ARE THE ECONOMISTS?
