With the 50% Discount/Rebate at regular consumer and financial retail sale inflation is resigned to the dust bin of history and universally secure monetary and economic democracy is basically accomplished. Hence, the present speculative nature and criteria for bonds and their rates can instead become mostly tied directly to more rational and ethical purposes…like addressing the energy and ecological crises converging upon us all. You do that by the FED floating 5-6% eco-energy R & D bonds, and then implementing a policy of a sliding scale required percentage of GIFTED purchasing power be “taxed” (read GIFTED) into such guaranteed bonds for the above rational purposes. Besides creating such ratioanal action this would also mitigate the increase in immediate consumption while also increasing everyone’s future economic and financial security.

So pardon me, but fuck all of the libertarian falderal about the importance of the bond market and their rates.
