Stimulus Package? That's a Load of Bull.

.
They are proposing another "stimulus package"?
It's not a stimulus package.

It's a loan!

.

Borrowed money!

YOU have to pay it all back.

Plus interest.

The "interest" is the part they don't create, and where you do the work for free!

The tide (the "stimulus package") may come in - but mark it down, it will go out (when the debt comes due, you have to pay back the stimulus package) , and carry some interest with it (more than we borrowed in the first place).

In the end, we'll be worse off than we are now.

1. Stop. Stop the borrow / bond / tax / bailout cycle.

2. Pass The MINNESOTA TRANSPORTATION ACT

3. Immediately begin monetizing the production of our infrastructure.
4. Immediately implement the Social Security fix mentioned here.

Land of The Free, Home of The Brave?

Has It Been Ingrained Into The Psyche of The American People?

Do you fear the bully?

Do you try to keep the bully happy, so that the next round of beatings will be more tolerable?

If you are getting robbed blind by a bully and someone brings you a solution, do you ask, "What's in it for the bully?"

I can't tell you how many people, when presented with this financial solution say this:

What's in it for the banks?

Yes.  Face it.  The American People are being bullied by the banks.  They create money out of nothing more than a promise to pay, and require you to give essentially free labor, borrow yourself into unpayable debt to pay the interest and pay ever increasing taxes, just for the privilege of using their electronic bookkeeping entry "money" - that they create on a computer keyboard!

The banks put the people into unpayable debt in order to have a medium of exchange, decide who gets money and who doesn't, contract the supply at will, causing bankruptcies and hardships to American citizens, every one of which are dependent on the banks to conduct commerce, and then ask for and receive bailouts from elected officials after 90% of the people said "no".

A psychologist may say that you had some serious "issues" if you are trying to protect the one that is trying to harm or destroy you. However they might label it - it's dysfunction.  

Don't be that person. 

Use the power gifted to you in the Constitution, by virtue of being an American, to make a change.  A change to stop the bullying and end the abuse. And don't settle for simply fewer beatings.  Stop them.  The US Constitution and the Minnesota State Constitution give you the power to change this.

If you are reading this, decide if you are part of THE LAND OF THE FREE and whether you help make it THE HOME OF THE BRAVE.

And Now For a Really Big Solution - Save Social Security

.

Pay The People For Their Production - What A Concept.

If all money is created as debt (it is).

Then, no money has been created as final payment (because all of the debt money gets paid back to the bank).

Therefore, in the aggregate, our retirees have never received full and final payment for their production (the infrastructure that they have built, and that we all enjoy and use everyday).

So, the US Government can and should monetize the past production of the US citizens that have built everything that you see around you (wealth). The US Treasury, under the direction of US Congress, and not the Federal Reserve Bank, should create new debt free money, and pay the recipients of Social Security outright. Same with Medicare. Cap Medicare payments to health care providers to avoid abuse and the "medical community's" tendency to inflate their prices when they can. This "saves" Social Security and Medicare.

What's the alternative? Borrow more? Cut benefits? Raise the retirement age? Those are immoral answers, when the solution is clearly, to pay them for their work.

Next, give Social Security recipients a raise (50% first month and then 10% per month for the next 24 months, to start with), so that they can stop worrying about how to make ends meet and perhaps even spend some on the grandkids or be able to afford their medication, take a trip or upgrade their automobile, pay for their own physical therapy or... "spend it to stimulate the economy". There is no need to "save for retirement" - they ARE retired. Most of them will spend it - and they should spend it - they have earned it and they have never been paid.

Then, eliminate the FICA tax from the paycheck of every American. Gone.

Every working American would see an instant pay increase. This is not a tax "cut" it is a tax elimination.

Business would no longer have to pay the matching FICA tax.

The US Government can remove $53 Trillion in debt and unfunded liabilities from their books.

SUMMARY:

1. Pay the retirees that did the work, in new, debt free money (electronic book keeping entries - just like they do now).

2. Eliminate the FICA tax from American workers and businesses.

3. Remove the $53 Trillion in debt from the Government's books.

Failure to fix these issues is not for lack of money. It is not. We create money.

Failure to fix these issues is a failure in education.

It's a failure to operate with the correct financial model.

.

Clean Capitalism is the correct model.

The MINNESOTA TRANSPORTATION ACT is the first step toward fixing our broken economy because it gives the economy a source of debt-free, wealth based money, so that we can get rid of this debt and return the ownership of production to the people..
