The narrative behind it? Tell Obama we want:
1) an adequate income for every US citizen,
2) a productive role for every available resident, and
3) taxes low enough to allow quality and innovation expressed in distributed decision-making to continuously increase.
[Note, that narrative contains no mention whatsoever of "balanced fiat" or of solvent banks - both of which are trivially incidental details that would always come out in the wash.]
Another incidental bit of trivia? No More Tim Geithners!
Need we add that Mo, Larry & Curley needn't be elected to Congress? Ok, three we could live with, but 500+? A little help here, please.
Trumped up comedy routine: "Take my Congressperson .... please!
(I'll throw in our Treasury Secretary - if you act fast.)"
What about Shemp???
ReplyDeleteGood rant Roger, rsp,
Occasionally we do things better in Britain than in the US. The head of the Treasury in Britain is always a democratically elected politician. Of course democratically elected politicians can be idiots. But having a former bankster in that job (who is rewarded after his term of office with a bank job where the pay depends on how much he stole from taxpayers and gave to banks) is just asking for trouble.
ReplyDeleteOff topic. Interesting survey on community planning and economic development done by the American Planning Association.

Only 15% believe in market forces alone would be enough to help economic development of a community.
