Yes, by all means lobby like hell to get the central banks of the world to buy all the bonds. Then implement two policies: 1) a 50% Discount at regular consumer products retail sale and also at the retail point of Finance, and then have the central bank distribute the total amounts of the discounts back to the merchant granting the consumer the 50% discount so they are made whole on their entire price. Amongst resolving several of the economy’s stickiest problems this would take the issue of the national “debt” out of the hands of the ignorant, obstinate and/or totally bought pols of the world and enable the ultimate source of money creation to benefit the general populace instead of being the hand maiden of the private banking system which serially initiates financial and economic crises and then gets bailed out while the individual is left to “go scratch”.
2) Implement a sliding scale percentage of gifted money/purchasing power be required to be invested in 5-6% Eco-Energy R & D bonds that the central bank creates and pays the interest on. As a kicker you could rename central banks as The Wisdom Counsel for implementing the economic policies of graciousness as in Gifting.
