LOOK AT THE BOTTOM LINE!!

Typically, the first question asked about The Green New Deal is: “Where will the money come from?” That’s the wrong question. We all know where the money will come from. It will come from the only legitimate source of new money, US Treasury checks, also the source of money for aircraft carriers.

Next, they say the GND will raise your taxes sky high and you can’t afford it. But that is a con man’s dishonest argument. The first thing to know about economics is that if something can be done technically, physically, it can be done financially. The GND is a major investment that must be evaluated like all investments: by looking at the bottom line. And your bottom line is not your tax bill. Your bottom line is your net worth as a result of the GND. Let’s take a look!

The annual cost of health care for 300 million Americans at an average cost of $10 thousand each is $3 trillion. If we include the annual cost of expense-paid university education for all qualified students and the annual cost of replacing f****l f**ls with g***n e****y, we have to add another trillion. That $4 trillion dollars will about double the current amount of annual Congressional spending. The right question to be asked is: “Where is all that money going?” The new $4 trillion will follow the path of last year’s $4 trillion. So, let’s have a look and see what actually happened last year.

When Congress spends $4 trillion, 10% or $400 billion enters domestic private bank accounts. Yes, deficit spending equals after-tax savings! That’s why World War II spending gave us 30 years of prosperity. War workers cashed in war bonds for cars, homes, and kids, creating all our beautiful suburbs that did not exist before the war. If Congress spends $8 trillion, much more than $800 billion will enter those accounts because of “tax bracket creep”. More rich suburbs are coming your way!

Our problem will not be money but rather physical resources. Whereas we probably have enough resources for expense-paid education for all but, for Medicare for All, there will be a scarcity of doctors, dentists, etc., until free education provides enough personnel, which could take ten years or more. For that reason, Medicare for All will have to be implemented gradually, beefing up our current Medicare bureaucracy. We would add children up to age 19 plus students. Their robust health will have a minimal impact. Annually, additional age groups can be phased in from both ends of the age spectrum. We should also expect that foreign personnel would be attracted to US wages and hasten the date of maturity of the new healthcare system.

Most of the rest of the GND is g***n e****y. That will be a matter of training our millions of unemployed and under-employed, especially the millions of incarcerated for construction work. When material shortages arise and begin to cause harmful inflation, it may be necessary to cut production levels down from three shifts to two shifts or even to one shift, as easy as falling off a log. The most important principle is maximum use of resources, especially time. The Green New Deal is the moral equivalent of war. If we want to save our planet, we must use every minute of our lives.

Above all, we must stop thinking of money as a scarce resource. Where Congress is concerned, money is only a number to be used to indicate the quantity of effort Congress asks from the private sector. Our only problem is the threat of inflation. And then, it only means jogging instead of a sprinting.

The Green New Deal will raise your taxes sky high and you can’t afford it, so… Well, you know the rest: the GND is great in theory but it will cost too much. That, in a phrase, is the argument against the GND.

But that is the dishonest argument of a con man. The first thing to know about economics is that if something can be done technically, it can be done financially. The GND is a major investment that must be evaluated like all investments: by looking at the bottom line. And your bottom line is not your tax bill.

FIRST THINGS FOR THE GREEN ECONOMY

Our Constitution’s Preamble states the purpose of our federal government: justice, tranquility, defense, general welfare, and the “Blessings of Liberty” that we must provide for Posterity. Each of these goals implies the creation of institutions of considerable magnitude. Justice and tranquility require first responders, hospitals, courts, and prisons. Defense implies forces with unlimited needs that must be provided by the nation’s industry, which implies a system of education and healthcare. General welfare and “Blessings” imply an open-ended list of things. We can put all of the above under the heading of “infrastructure”. Given that we are surrounded by hostile forces seeking to dominate us, our need for infrastructure is unlimited.

To provide for those infinite needs, Congress must plan for the world’s best infrastructure. Then it must create that infrastructure by spending wh**ever is needed, buying required resources at the fastest rate possible without harming with the well-being of the private sector. In practice, this means spending as much as possible without causing inflation. Ideally, our economy should be operating steadily at the onset of harmful inflation. In practice, the economy’s money supply and output fluctuate so that the best spending practice would be to aim at that ideal.

Thus, the need to combat inflation is a primary concern. With maximum spending there must be maximum taxation to remove excess discretionary income and wealth from the economy. With a liberal economy and relatively free trade, the distribution of income and wealth in the population will be top heavy. For efficient taxation of discretionary income, such a distribution requires steeply progressive federal income and estate tax brackets with no taxation of non-discretionary income and wealth. Because of the “tax-bracket creep” that occurs with rising incomes during economic expansions, steeply progressive tax brackets also have the virtue of increasing (decreasing) the ratio of tax revenue to total spending during economic expansions (contractions), thus smoothing the fluctuation of the economy’s money supply and output.

Spending on infrastructure must be matched by spending on people. Until our munitions industry and armed forces are completely robotic, wars will be waged by people in the line of fire and those behind it. And they will be waged more successfully when the people are well-educated and healthy. Accordingly, there is no rational reason to require individuals to pay for their education or for maintaining their health. There is every rational reason to provide expense-paid education for all at all levels of learning. Likewise, there should be free healthcare for all, including free nurseries, day-care, and pre-K for parents with such a need.

To fulfill the aims stated in the Preamble to our Constitution, the physical structures and personnel required for these services have a cost that Congress must bear. In effect, Congress should pay the people to provide the nation’s infrastructure and to provide both the best-educated and healthiest workforce and the world’s best military force. No other course can achieve the goals set for us by our Founders.

Newark NJ Mayor wants Guaranteed Income for all residents.

EXTREME POVERTY !! GOOD BYE AND GOOD RIDDANCE !!

Computers, robots, and artificial intelligence are displacing humans at a growing pace. People will always design business systems but there will be few jobs making or delivering. Caregivers of the young, old, and sick will be assisted by computers and robots. Construction will be automated and installed by robots directed by humans. Eventually, industry will need much less than half of our working-age population. When the majority is jobless, on what will it live?

Two answers are Universal Basic Income and Job Guarantee. The UBI is a debit card refilled monthly to supply necessities. The JG is a locally-managed employment agency that hires the jobless, even the partially disabled, and, after any necessary training, assigns them to local tasks requested by any government or qualified NPO. For both proposals, the usual fringe benefits comparable to industry would be provided. (Free healthcare for all would simplify the hiring process for industry as well.) Both programs would be financed by Congress, eliminating SNAP, unemployment benefits, and all similar spending.

The UBI would serve the fully disabled; the JG would pay workers some minimum wage. Thus, industry will lose its current reserve army of unemployed and gain a reserve army of employed possessing the dignity of work. Employers will attract JG workers with pay a step higher than the minimum wage and will raise current wages enough to maintain their staff but that’s normal for a booming economy. Price levels will rise with the minimum wage so the UBI and the JG wage may turn out to be skimpy. Most minimum wage workers look for better jobs.

The unemployed are already here and more are coming. Work awaits them, and federal money is always available. Yes, unions will complain when governments have JG workers filling potholes and NPOs are doing healthcare. Other problems not obvious now will arise but they will NOT include potholes or unemployment or extreme poverty. We will make adjustments, survive, and maybe thrive.

The majority will be jobless but will be educated and able to v**e. As will their parents, relatives, and friends. UBI and JG are coming! Get used to the idea.

FIRST PRINCIPLES FOR THE GREEN ECONOMY

Our Constitution’s Preamble states the purpose of our federal government: justice, tranquility, defense, general welfare, and the “Blessings of Liberty” that we must provide for Posterity.

Every Time Democrats Talk, I Want to V**e For Trump TWICE!!!!

MEDICARE FOR ALL WILL RAISE YOUR TAXES !!

How can we implement Social Democracy without raising taxes? If you are a taxpaying individual or household, you pay a federal tax on your income according to the tax rates established by Congress. Wh**ever their stated objections, opponents are really claiming that Medicare for All (and the Green New Deal, etc.) would cause shortages and inflation, forcing Congress to boost the tax rates to control inflation.

Let’s examine that claim in detail.

If the program were implemented today, the current Medicare prices would be in effect. Immediately, there would be a shortage of dentists. They would try to raise their prices but Medicare would not change its current policy. So, new patients would have to wait for service. A system of triage would have to be established that would stay in effect until the number of dentists increased enough to serve the market. The same recourse would apply to the dental suppliers. The entire dental industry would be affected.

Even with Free (expense-paid) Education for All, to the level of PhD, the program’s newly-educated dentists would not see a strong flow into the market before 10 years. Therefore, Medicare for All would have to be introduced gradually, starting with students up to age 30 and children up to age 19. With their good health, there would be minimal impact on the medical market, except for dentists and oculists. For that market, we would expect that enough foreign specialists and services would be attracted to US income levels.

Extending Medicare for All to all ages would also be done incrementally, annually adding one or two years of eligibility at each end of the age spectrum, again expecting to import medical personnel and services to fill the gaps in service. Free (expense-paid) Education for All is the long-term solution to the personnel shortage. For that, almost all the resources are already in place, students and professors are begging for it, and the public is demanding it.

And there would be no inflation introduced by either program! And no boost in the tax rates. So, why does Medicare for All and Education for All increase your tax bill? There can be only one reason. Your tax bill will rise because the program increases your annual income! And what fool turns down an increase in income because the tax bill went up?

Your income tax will depend only on the current tax rates and your income, which almost certainly depends upon the state of the economy. And that state always improves whenever Congress increases its annual spending on anything (until the onset of harmful inflation!)

So, that also applies to the Green New Deal! If done with full use of available resources and controls to avoid scarcity, there need be no higher tax rates. On the other hand, federal income tax rates must be steeply progressive to assure negative feedback so that, as the economy expands, there would be “bracket creep”: as higher salaries would raise individual’s tax rates, the ratio of tax revenue to Congressional spending would increase and prevent inflation.

Just short stories in the New Yorker Magazine. I do some writing. About what's wrong with this world and how to make it better. I would value your opinion. Please comment on the following:

LET’S PREPARE OUR DEFENSE WITH A MAXIMUM EFFORT !!

A nation can be in only one of three possible states of affairs.

First, a nation can be at war, in an existential struggle, depending entirely upon its defense.

To survive such an embattled state of affairs, a nation must continually prepare its defense.

Next, a nation can be preparing its defense with a maximum effort by using its idle resources to increase and to improve its infrastructure and its most important resource, its people, whose health and education are essential and can be improved most surely by providing free health care for all and free, expense-paid education up to PhD. Such pr********n of defense needs maximum Congressional spending, which needs a maximum effort to prevent inflation, which needs adequate taxation of disposable income but no taxation of non-disposable income, which needs adequate and steeply progressive federal income and estate tax rates.

Such a provident nation would be well-prepared to survive an embattled state of affairs.

Finally, a nation can be preparing its defense but WITHOUT a maximum effort to increase and improve its infrastructure, NOT providing free health care for all and free, expense-paid education for all, being more concerned with budget deficits and tax relief for the rich and their heirs while mired in idleness, poverty, trafficking, addiction, crime, and mass incarceration.

Such an improvident nation (ours!) is ill-prepared to survive an embattled state of affairs.

Citizens opposed to free healthcare and expense-paid education for all, including free trade schools, will v**e for inflation due to sk**led labor shortages, for military recruiting shortages due to poor health and education, and for bankruptcies due to medical costs. V**es against maximum Congressional spending will guarantee destructive poverty, decaying infrastructure, and a sub-optimal defense that threatens our survival in an embattled state of affairs.

A provident nation will not only be the most prepared nation but also the most prosperous nation because that nation’s spending would generate the largest annual federal budget deficit, which is exactly equal to the sum of its annual trade deficit plus its annual domestic net private savings. That sum represents the nation’s consumption of foreign goods plus its private after-tax savings, a necessary source of investment for growth. Therefore, that sum is directly proportional to the nation’s prosperity, that which trumps all taxes, sustains its social health, and encourages its youth, perhaps the most important element of its defense.

So, preparing our defense with maximum effort is also our best economic policy, as proven by the decades of post-war prosperity created by our huge World War II deficit spending on salaries that were saved as “War Bonds”, eventually cashed in for homes, cars, and kids, creating the prosperous suburbs that now flourish all over America. Ask your grandmother!
