10,000 People In A Room - Work is Not Money.

Let's suppose that you have 10 people in a room and that each of these people has ten 1 dollar bills - that's $100. They can buy, sell and trade and seem to have enough money. Some may have a few dollars more, but there is enough to go around - the money supply is adequate for commerce.

Now, imagine adding 10,000 people to that room. Would there be a shortage of money? Of course; $100 is not enough money for 10,000 people to conduct their business.

Now, suppose that the 10,000 people work very hard, 20 hours per day and that they produce multiplied truckloads of wealth - good products that everyone can use.  How much money is there in the room?

Still $100.

Work does not increase the money supply.

Producing wealth, sometimes referred to as "production", does not increase the money supply.

In today's system, only borrowing increases the money supply.

Folding Our Way Back From The Sun

.

Q:  If you could fold a piece of paper that was .05 mm thick, in half, 50 times, how tall would the resulting stack of paper be?

A: Roughly 100 million kilometers, or 2/3 the way to the sun.  Fold it once more and the stack would be 50 million kilometers past the sun.

In terms of solving a problem that is working against you exponentially, reversing the process can yield very large gains.  In other words, unfold the paper just one time and the problem is half the size.

Our debt is growing exponentially.  "Compound interest" is working against us. We need to undo the damage.

The MINNESOTA TRANSPORTATION ACT will begin to unfold our debt crisis, restore stability to our banking system, create jobs and reduce taxes. In addition, it's such a simple change and we could see results the first week it's passed.
