  • How to Save the U.S. Economy: Kill 1971's 'Floating Dollar' Experiment [View article]
    ANOTHER IDEA HOW TO SAVE THE ECONOMY. (brief format)

    1. United States population 300,000,000.
    2. Population over 18 years old 220,000,000
    3. national Debt US$ 10,000,000,000,000
    4. share of debt per person US$ 33,000

    THE PROBLEM .
    1. No health coverage for Americans
    2. unemployment
    3. bad economy
    4. energy dependence
    5. housing crash
    6. credit crunch
    7. Retirement funds decreasing
    8. unable to stop overspending.
    9. ETC, ETC , ETC.

    CURRENT PROPOSED SOLUTIONS

    1. Stimulus package
    2. save Wall Street , save the Auto makers , Insurance companies , Mortgages ,extend unemployment benefits . tax cuts for the middle class .

    PROJECTED OUTCOME.

    Just a patch , the economy will still tumble down increasing national debt and unemployment.

    THE SOLUTION.
    Only the consumers can save the economy .

    THE PLAN.
    1. Give each American over 18 years of age , regardless of credit history or financial status rich or poor , a government issued credit card for $1000.00 or less , to start a credit system with the government at 10% interest per year . This credit card is tied to each Americans social security , and is the point of contact between the government and the people . according to payment history and payment ability their credit will grow . This credit card can not be bankrupt or not paid . it will be discounted from social security if necessary . The idea is that everyone will want to have a perfect credit , why?.
    1. access to more money even to buy a house when their credit is built in a few years .
    2. The interest charged will be used to pay for :
    1. universal health care
    2. national debt.
    3. Creation of wealth for our country .

    This is money that has to be spend for America . It will grow enough to pay for insurance for all , our national debt will decrease .
    Let each company fix their problems . A credit system like this will help the country for decades to come. The money will always come back to the source tenfold .
    That’s 22 billion per year on the initial credit given to people . On time the national credit will be in the trillions of dollars. The interest generated pay for the national debt in a short time .
    .
