Thanks for responding Walt. I believe NIB and my policy program for a new monetary paradigm could truly be a synergistic combination, and just in time solutions to the converging crises we face. Our infrastructure does desparately need upgrading, and as the recent election has shown the long term monetary/economic grievances of Americans are a potent if misguided force. So much the better to resolve all of that grievance by immediately doubling everyone’s purchasing power and simultaneously turning chronic erosive inflation into beneficial price and asset deflation with a 50% Discount/Rebate policy at retail sale. Then, in order to mitigate the potential doubling of consumption without punishing the consumer I suggest the government implement a sliding scale required “tax”/gift on gifted money to be invested in eco/energy/infrastructure bonds. A “tax” of investment is still a gift…not unlike the bonds that fund the deficit are really just a continuous flow of guaranteed revenue for the private sector. If every individual and commercial agent invested in such bonds think about how much additional funding for infrastructure that would enable.

I’d be happy to discuss the entire policy program in my book with yourself and Ellen Brown to further elucidate its benefits and how they dove tail with and further your own objectives.
