Finding the Money

The Constitution granted Congress the power to create Money
Building Community Infrastructure 



The Constitution granted Congress the power to create Money   Under pressure from the Bank Lobby the Congress gave that power to the Federal Reserve System and to Corporate Banks  That delegation of Power to entities outside of Government allows the accumulation of most Monetary Reserves into the Hands of  the Oligarch of the Wealthy.  That was our greatest mistake in defending Democracy and the well being of the people

The Federal Reserve Banks alone should create all new money and finance all Government Debt free of interest.  Taxpayers should never be force to pay Corporate Banks to use a power that the Constitution never gave them.  Banks should only be allowed to lend money belonging to depositors, shareholders, and money borrowed from the Reserve.

The Congress alone has the power to decide if and when and how money is to be spent.  Allowing only a Government institution to create money in no way restricts the power of Congress to control spending.  It only allows Congress  to have a Tax[interest]free source for the money it needs to build the Nation and provide for the needs of the citizen.

Community Obligations

Communitarianism
____________________________________







When residential property is owned but not used, the owner would like to have someone to pay for its use. If another person had no residence but did have the resources to buy or rent the unused residence, that person would do so unless he wanted to be homeless.

The problem we have if we want to make it possible for none to be hungry or homeless is  how do we distribute monetary resources to the person who has none.

The solution is to provide a "Basic Income Guarantee" to ever person large enough to buy sufficient food, adequate shelter, and effective medical care. It is the simplest form of distribution of the essentials of life without imposing a "Bureau for Begging" on the citizens. It is justified by the Commonwealth system of the Human Community.

. Social Security & Medicare System worked well for solving this problem for most seniors. It could easily solve the problem for every citizen by creating a Basic Income for every citizen and distributing it through the Social Security system.

We must make a Choice

We first must choose our Values

___________________________________
      I am always amazed by the notion that the "Path of Change" [social or biological] is following along a course that one can prejudge as acceptable or unacceptable, as if there is a preordained 'right way'. All things are random within settings that do not violate the forces of matter & energy. There is no preconceived 'Right Outcome'.

We are Sentient Beings and each can make choices about behavior and values . Even so. the random dynamics of the Universe itself can make all those choices & 
values mute in a wink of time. The number of close calls the survival of life has endured over the passage of geological time should convince us of the fact that we live in the Now.

We can make rational choices based on our ability to understand some of the objective reality of the "NOW". We must also understand that other Sentient Beings can and will make other choices that are in conflict with choices we make. 


My posts are mainly written about choices that I  have made. They are often a call to action for others who have made similar choices. It carry's no authority outside of ourselves and our actions. It is the very essence of Free Will and the ability to influence the environment in which we live. I advocate for no absolutes. I advocate instead for a Human Community that values cooperative action as highly as it values competitive action.

The survival of any Human Community over time depends in large part on how broadly and how inclusive it is to the members that make up the Community. It depends on sufficient food, adequate shelter, effective medical care and life skills training for every citizen with no regard for his economic status.   


This post illustrates the inclusiveness that I choose to honor. It is a promotion of exercising the imperatives of democratic action in a cooperative community. It has nothing to do with a natural curve of progress.  It is predicated on the principal making choices and adopting values.  The sustainment  of those values is effected by our individual & collective willingness to promote the establishment those values as the "conventional Wisdom" that motivated how we grow as a Community.

I am a Communitarian




I believe that Societies change over time. They evolve  to accommodate the  changing needs & desires of the individuals within the Society. Yet I am amazed by the false notion that the change is always moving toward a higher better purpose. Sometimes the conflict between those who have established interest & power and those who want to change to a system of community behavior to benefit their own needs will create behavior that is more destructive than beneficial. All change is random that does not violate physical Law. There is no preconceived Right Outcome.

We are Sentient Beings that can make choices about our behavior and the things we value. The random dynamics of the Universe itself can then make all those choices mute in a wink of time. The number of close calls the survival of life has endured over the passage of geological time should convince us of the fact that we live in the Now.

We can make rational choices based on our ability to understand some of the objective reality of our time. We must also understand that other sentient beings can and will make other choices that are in conflict with choices we make. This Blog is about choices that I have made. It is a call to action for others who have made similar choices.

It carry's no authority outside of myself and my actions. It is the very essence of Free Will It is about my ability to influence the environment in which we live. I advocate for no absolute right or wrong. I advocate only for a human Community that values cooperative action for the common good as highly as it values competitive action for the individual good.

The survival of any Human Community depends in part on how broadly and and how inclusive it is to the members that make it up. This Blog illustrates the degree of inclusiveness that I personally choose to honor.  I promote the exercising of democratic nonviolent action to create a cooperative community that uses both the efficiency of individual competition and the individual security of cooperative sharing . It has nothing to do with a natural progress of Good over evil. It is predicated only on the principal individual choice . I am by choice a Communitarian

This Photo represents both the Sunrise and the Sunset of my life. I am 73 years old and am free to be and say whatever I choose.

The Sunrise in my life is the chance to advance my commitment to create a society in which the life of every citizen can be lived without the FEAR of hunger, homelessness, untended illness and lack of opportunity to succeed in a life of accomplishment.

The sunset is the fact that I have fewer years ahead of me than the years I have left behind. My mother recently passed at 94, so there is a reasonable hope that my setting sun is yet sometime away. I am content with who I am and where the destination of my journey is meant to be. I invite you to walk with me and give advice and a helping hand when you can. Let us cherish the Moment

The Destruction of Poverty




Our Capitalist System uses money to distribute Goods & Service to consumers. It uses money to acquire Labor and productive capacity to produce Goods & Service. Money used by end point consumers is mostly acquired by wages from jobs. We are moving toward a technological automated economy that is rapidly reducing the use of Labor to earn wages that will sustain life. 

If you distribute money to the primary Point of Sale  
[the consumer] of the consumption of food, shelter, Medical care, and education, the money will flow into the economy and create maximum growth of the jobs that produce these Goods & Service. That can be done with a Basic Income administered by Social Security

 If you use a Flat tax system to remove excess money from the economy to prevent inflation the system can be moderated at the fulcrum of supply & demand.  The Owners of Capital Infrastructure can continue to earn profits. The masses will  enjoy the Liberty to chose ones Life path that grows from the Freedom from Want that comes from sufficient food, adequate shelter, effective Medical care, and equal opportunity to learn Life skills.  We must become Communitarians and merge the Competition for Reward with the Cooperation of sustaining life "for the least of these".
