Just give everyone and every opting in commercial agent (read every one of them) an account at the central bank and mandate that it create and distribute the rebate aspect of a 50% Discount/Rebate at retail sale. After that, seeings how that would resign inflation to the dust bin of history you could fund the government with treasury bonds at a reasonable and then because the rationale for the FED funds rate is basically resolved forever by the 50% Discount/Rebate policy at retail sale the central bank could rationalize policy on energy and climate change by floating eco-energy R & D treasury bonds at rate of say 10%. Everyone would buy them, even the petroleum industry.
When you have a mega-paradigm change all manner of things become possible.

The Directly Distributive Fiat Monetary System And Philosophy Of Wisdomics-Gracenomics Is The Economic And Cultural Answer To The Chaos That AI Will Cause

Why? Because it could proactively deal with the almost inevitable investment AI slump and also the elimination of anywhere from 30-70% loss of employment that would cause unnecessary chaos when humanity needs sanity, security and the blessings that a culture of monetary grace as in Gifting could universally ellicit.

And remember, the thirdness greater oneness of an applied philosophy of a Wisdomics-Gracenomics; that resolves and redeems the flawed, unresolving and historically ethically challenged duality of capitalism or socialism…is a mega-paradigm change whose effects spill over into many more areas of human endeavor than merely economics, serendipitously including even spirituality because it enables everyone the opportunity to consciously self actualize grace as in gratitude…which is the experiencial point of every one of the world’s wisdom traditions.

Pitch To Arizona Horizons

What if a single policy could double not only every Arizonan’s purchasing power, but everyone in the nation as well? And not only that, but transform chronic inflation into beneficial price and asset deflation, while doubling the potential demand for every enterprise’s goods and services. In other words it out economic democracies voters on the left and out profitabilities those on the right and so it integrates the agendas of both major parties into a thirdness greater oneness that the first politician and political party that recognizes this could become the greatest majority coalition since The New Deal?

Finally, what if that single policy, because it resolves the affordability problem afflicting 90+% of the populace and is implemented at a point in the economy where everyone must and does participate in, was the greatest opportunity to self actualize gratitude since meditation and prayer? What could that do to lift the social mood from frustration and anger to thankfulness. In other words instead of going to the store and saying: “Damn! Oreos just went up another 10%! you could get $100 worth of groceries for $50 and say “Thank you Mr and Mrs. Merchant for doubling my purchasing power!”, and “Thank you Mr. and Mrs. Politician for finally getting the economy so right that every individual and every commercial agent benefits so much!”

My name is Steven Hummel. I’ve been a student of many of the best present day economic minds since The Great Recession in 2008. But I’ve done one thing none of these brilliant analysts are doing, and that is I’ve analyzed our systemic economic problems on the applied conceptual/paradigmatic level and so, as new paradigms are indeed applied concepts and permanently progressive resolutions to the anomalies/problems of the present paradigm, the policies I’ve innovated on that deeper level of research are more beneficial and lasting than any of the suggested reforms of the afore mentioned authorities.

I would love to present/be interviewed by Ted Simons on Arizona Horizons. My phone # is 602 769 6832 and my email is ataushumme@yahoo.com.

Thank you.

You’re insights regarding accounting, Gallileo and Kepler are prescient. Thats why I do not understand your not recognizing that a 50% Discount/Rebate policy at the various points of retail sale which:

  1. perfectly mimics the accounting operations of equal debits and credits that sum to zero…
  2. is the paradigmatic resolution to the problematic anomalies in “free” market theoretics/neo-classical economics of
    a) chronic erosive inflation,
    b) equally chronic monetary austerity and so chronic austerity of demand for all goods and services and
    c) because as you yourself have discovered that continually rising private debt is at the root of historical recessions and depressions that
    d) having the central bank fund the rebate of discounts back to the merchant granting it to the consumer…including paying for 50% of everyone’s monthly mortgage, insurance, automobile or other big ticket items payment…which is the point of financial retail sale…is a continual not just a one-off debt jubilee???

Perhaps its because you are the Copernicus pointing out the flaws of neo-classical economics…and I am your Gallileo and Kepler that enables and effects the implementation of the new monetary and economic paradigm.

Instead of AI…

…we need gracia sapientia intelligencia GSI Graciously Sapient (wise and discerning) Intelligence.

What Is It That Makes The 50% Discount/Rebate At Retail Sale So Magical?

Its the reciprocality of benefits aspect of it, and its integrative of opposite self interests using only the abstract operations of mathematics (-50 + 50 = 0) and double entry bookkeeping (equal debits and credits that sum to zero). Secondly its, its problem resolving effects like slaying both inflation and chronic austerity of individual demand. Thirdly its, its transformative inversion of temporal universe realities like inflation into benefiticial deflation and monetary/purchasing power austerity into abundance of same.

These are all signatures of historical paradigm changes as well as aspects of the natural philosophical concept of grace and finally the very intellectual process of wisdom which is the effective integration of opposites/a duality so as to create a thirdness greater oneness/trinity of that seemingly unresolvable duality/problem.

The temperment of the polis has changed. Now all El-Sayed needs is an integrative policy program that out economic democracies the socialists and simultaneously out profitability’s merchants with a policy of a 50% Discount/Rebate at the points of regular consumer goods retail sale and also at the point of Financial retail sale which is one’s mortgage, automobile, insurance or other big ticket item’s monthly payment. Voila! the economic agendas of the republicans and the democrats are united and the nay sayers have no rebuttal to such incredible benefits…for all economic agents…which means El-Sayed wins big and…if the democrats are smart enough to be the first party to advocate for this policy they have the opportunity to become a greater political coalition than The New Deal.

The Way To Stop Disingenuous Political Advocacy For The 50% Discount/Rebate At Retail /Sale

Have every candidate who says they are for the policy sign a legal document that they will follow through by making enacting that policy their very first action when Congress convenes after the election…or they’re constituents will immediately recall them and replace them with someone who is more honest and will follow through on that promise.

No lying and no fiddling around with the freedom that a paradigm change effects.

Its Okay…

…to bitch, but if you can solve at the same time you take the sting out of the duality, that is the conflict a bitch can set up, and so it enables both parties to remain in present time instead retreating into egoistic orthodoxies.
