The topic is government generated credit in a credit system and how much credit should be created and used for what purposes?
I believe in really big government, with really big budgets, that generate really economies as a result of those really big investments in the infrastructure of that Nations economy that the government has to built up. I am talking about generated credit out of thin air vs tax money from the people. The topic of this thread is government generated credit and how much should we expect the government to generate over a year period of time and to what purpose that credit should be dedicated too.
We will dispense with both the Monetary policies and the tax issues in this discussion.
We will dispense with the Monetary system, because it is bankrupt and needs to be reorganized into a new government credit system. This money that the US Government generated in excess of 24 trillion dollars, the US Government had no business in doing to pay private debt and so those funds need to be repatriated back to the US Government ant the monetary system put through a bankruptcy reorganization process. This Monetary system of fractional reserves system of these private banks will be done away in a US Bankruptcy Court reorganization process and most of that debt liquidated as unpayable and then written off the books.
We will also dispense with the discussion of taxation, because there is insufficient taxes to do what we want to do also and it can't do what we need to have done.
We are assuming that the United States is going back to a government generated credit system again according to the US Constitution and a Hamiltonian type banking system. We will be setting up a Third National Bank that is Government owned and operated and directing the credit to where it going to be used on. We are assuming that we either get another President or get some parental supervision for the President that we do have in office, that will be trying to save the US Economy from complete disintegration of where it going right now. We also want to save Social Security and Medicare also.
If the US Government want to save the US Economy or rebuild it, what do they have to do?
How much government credit does the United States have to generate per year?
How much government credit does the United States have to generate for fifty years period of time?
What should that government credit be used for?
With 48 of the 50 states in the process of going bankrupt. What do you do about that?
We have to save those states from bankruptcy and do an FDR government work projects to restart the US Economy from our current collapsed state and get us going again.
So how much government credit do we have to create for how long?
The United States has to generate between one to two trillion of dollars worth of government generated per year and for every year from here on out. So the United States has to generate between 50 to 100 trillion dollars worth of credit to finance a US Recovery and do a rebuilding the US infrastructure with new technologies to get things going again.
Now that we know how much credit we need or a rough idea of the amount of credit we are going to need. Now we have to decide where we want to use that new generated credit on.
The United States has a history of picking large massive infrastructural projects to advance a modern US Society and a healthy economy when the chooses to do that. The US Government and state government and some times both of them will work to build things like canal, rail roads, subway, water system, etc.
So what do I think that the United States should commit that 50 to 100 trillion dollars worth of credit over this fifty year period.
I believe that we should have or do if we reestablish a US National Banking Credit System:
1. Two government national rail system going throughout the entire United States. Revamping the rail freight system with new electric trains to replace the diesel trains and electrifying a hundred thousand miles of track. Building a passenger service levitated rail system for Amtrak to run on of about forty thousand miles of track. This will probably cost 3 or 4 trillion dollars to do this.
2. We need to either upgrade subways or build new subway in about 60 to 70 American Cities to interface with those other two government national rail system. This will probably cost another 2 trillion dollars to do this.
3. We need clean water too and be able to transport things on our rivers also to promote commerce internally. We need to dredge rivers out and dig canals and dam up rivers with locks to solve water needs and make those rivers navigable to ship and barges. FDR's four river project was nice, but now we need to go to the rest of the major rivers of the United States. We also want to revive the NAWAPA project of bringing water from the Mackenzie River system down the Rockey Mountain trench to water the western half of the United States. We also need to build huge water desalting plants at some of our major cities on the oceans so we can get the water we need like for Los Angles and Virginia Beach in Virginia so that they will have sufficient water supplies also. All these projects will cost 3 or 4 trillion dollars also to do and they need to be done too.
4. If we are going to do these first three things, then we need some power to run those trains, move that water or power to desalt that water which will take a lot of power to do that. I believe that the Electric Power company should be owned by either the US Government or by the State Governments or a combination of the two owning and operating the Electric Power companies. To build four or five hundred nuclear power plants, plus the support infrastructure to put it on line while we are also developing fusion power, will probably cost 3 to 4 trillion dollars to do that.
5. I also believe that we should develop Alaska with an eye of having ten to twenty new cities there and when NAWAPA has been completed for those western states and we have plenty of water out there, build another twenty cities out there also. Which will probably cost another 2 or 3 trillion dollars to do.
6. Now we have to rebuild the productive sector of the private sector of the US Economy. We need 2 to 3 million private family farmers to supply the food for the American people. We want parity prices for those family farmers with a guarantee 100% parity price on there farm products plus 6% over what it cost them to produce it so they have incentives to produce the food we need to eat. We want to break up those grain cartails and make them local businessmen to those farmers that are growing our food and regulate this system to prevent future abuses some time in the future. We also want the US Government to buy about 20% percent of the food that we need to feed the American people per year from those farmers at parity price plus 6% as an insurance policy against having a bad year of droughts or flooding that may wipe out a certain portion of the crops. We want the US Government to guarantee that we have food security even during bad years, so we aren't choosing who can eat and who should go hungry. We may have several hundred billion tired up in reviving the farming sector of America.
7. The other two major private sectors of the productive sectors are mining and manufacturing, which we want to save and revitalize also. We will put them under US Government protection, because we need them, but we intend to re privatizes them some time in the not too distant future in a revitalized US Economy. These mining and factories will be the section that is building the subway and trains, nuclear power plant, farm equipment that those those other section will be using. We may have a few trillion here of government loans or more to revitalize the old factories, build new ones, develop new technologies for the government and maybe NASA so they can complete some new government stated program that there suppose to complete. So over the next 50 years or so we will have several trillions of dollars committed to the mining and manufacturing sector of the United States also.
8. Now we come back to the Social Security, Medicaid and Medicare issues. In a functioning economy, we can afford to fund these programs again and take care of the general welfare of the American people again.
9. Now we need a science driver and it need to be really big too, to have the effect that we want it to have. We want our science driver to affect every area of science we currently have and pushing it forward with new technologies that advance the productivity of the work force and improve the health of the general population. In stead of having an economy that is four times bigger than what we have right now, which is what would happen if we only do what was listed in the first 1-8, we want something more than that. But, before I go into why it will be more than four times bigger, I am going to explain why it four times bigger than it is today. If we stop here, the US population would double in fifty years and would become twice as productive than the current US Population, which would give us our four times the current US size in the US Economy. The reason that a science driver cause the US Economy to go from being four times bigger to being ten time or even twenty times bigger in a future US Economy, is because you have to push the boundaries of science back faster to hit your goals and that where we getting spin off that we are plowed back into the physical economy. If we want the US Economy to be ten to twenty times bigger than it is today in real terms, instead of only being four times in forty to fifty years from now, then we need a really big project that forces us to discover and develop new technologies so we can hit that goal, which means that we don't currently have that we need to develop.
What kind of very big and massive project could we come up with that could force that kind of expansion of the US Economy in that forty to fifty year time frame of generating an economy ten to twenty times the size of the current US Economy is today?
A John F. Kennedy Moon Mission project, but on steroids is just the ticket to do something like that. For every dollar that we spent going to the moon, we received between ten to fourteen dollars in technological spin offs back to the US Economy. We got everything from new computers, metals, new machine technologies, health care improvements, etc. Now that we know how to achieve our stated goal of causing the US Economy to become ten to twenty times bigger than what it is today, now we need a project that can do that for us. The John F. Kennedy Moon Mission project was way too small and way to limited in both time needed to expand the US Economy and limited in scope when it comes to developing new technologies to have the effect that we are looking for.
So we are going to pick something like build a city on Mars of over a 100,000 thousand population and commit to do it in a forty to sixty year time frame. This will have the effect that we are looking for of expanding the US Economy ten times to twenty times bigger than what it is now, because we are plowing those new technologies that we have to develop back into the US Economy as fast as there being developed for NASA so they can hit there target date of having a 100,000 populated city on Mars in a forty to sixty year time frame. We don't either have the technologies nor the infrastructure in place in place to do something this big and it would take forty to sixty years for a government sponsored National Space Goal to hit something big, even for the US Government to do it.
What would the US Government have to do, to hit a goal like that?
The US Government would either have NASA and/or private space enterprises developing major section of the infrastructures to accomplish such a mission. The would have to be funding the development of next generation shuttle for the Earth, Moon, Mars and asteroid mining ships and other deep space space ships, etc. Building Lunar bases, with both mining and a manufacturing skunk works configuration to try and get away from having to bring everything up from the surface of the Earth. A crash program to develop fusion power so we could get the travel time between the Earth and Mars down to a few day instead of six months travel time. We would need a mass transportation system for our city on Mars and the list goes on. We would need two to three hundred ship that could go between the Earth and Mars and do it in a three or four day time frame and most of them would probably be privately owned and operated too. The US Government might even help either or both Bigelow and Space Island out to building there space hotel, not because there running a tourist attraction, but because the need the infrastructure in place to support those shuttle for those deep space space ships going to the moon or Mars.
This could easily cost five to ten trillion dollars or so, but it would return a 100 trillion dollar return to the US Economy in business activities and spin off and would cause most of that increase size in the US Economy that we were looking for all by itself.
10. Now we can't leave the rest of the world out of the picture and so we will have an economic summit with the major countries so they can also participate in these benefits for there people also. And for those less fortunate like in Africa, we need to put together a package for them of maybe one trillion dollars so, they can rebuild there own countries and not get left out either.
Yes, I believe in big government with very big budgets and I believe that is the only way to go if we want to survive as a people.
