The sliding scale required investment of gifted money into 5-6% Eco-Energy R & D Bonds policy can be broadened into other valid problems needed to be solved.

Its important to understand that the basis for price fluctuation in the secondary market for bonds is largely if not entirely eliminated by the 50% Discount/Rebate beneficial deflation creating policies at retail sale. The same goes for the ineffective, ham-handed and punitive policy of the FED Funds interest rate. When inflation is resigned to the dust bin of history interest rates can be set primarily to encourage rationality, genuine ethics and necessary problem resolution instead of mere economic considerations and the re-inforcement of the anomalous monetary paradigm wielded by Finance.

Because grace is the most resolving, integrative, unitary and synthesizing to the point of thirdness greater oneness concept man has ever conceived and experienced…and thirdness greater oneness resolution is likewise the mental and temporal universe effect of every historical paradigm change. Also, with even cursory analysis it is determined that the beneficial effects of every historical paradigm change have always been an aspect or aspects of the natural philosophical concept of grace.

The ancients were much smarter/less acculturated to debt than we are. However, we need to be smarter than the ancients. Why? Because the debt jubilees of the ancients were good, but it didn’t resolve the deeper problem of the human civilization-long paradigm concept for the creation and distribution of all new money which is Debt Only. In other words the ancient’s debt jubilee was a palliative reform…but the debt jubilee wsn’t continuous so Finance went right back to dominating all economic agents for another 60-70 years until debt jubilee was again recognized as necessary. With the tools of double entry bookkeeping and digital technology we can now make debt jubilee continuous and permanent as well as double everyone’s purchasing power further inhibiting the continual build up of private debt with a 50% Discount/Rebate policy at everyday consumer retail sale as well as the retail point of Finance which is one’s mortgage, automobile, insurance or other big ticket item’s monthly payment.

Excellent suggested new system…because it utilizes Gifting and (apparently) has known and enforceable barriers within which freedom actually exists, as opposed to current “free” market theoretics which is really just a framework for dominance By Finance within the current monetary paradigm concept for the creation and distribution of all new money which is Debt Only.

The central bank guarantees them by being willing to buy and hold them until maturity…at any time and specifically in times when Financial “innovation” has destabilized the economic system.

This Gift of monetary security and the rest of the beneficial policies of the new monetary paradigm {50% Discount/Rebate at Retail Sale including the continual debt jubilee effects of applying the 50% Discount/Rebate at the retail point of Finance (which is one’s monthly mortgage, automobile, insurance or other big ticket item’s monthly payment), Universal Dividend, Job Guarantee, Rationalization of Ecological/Energy Action Via Sliding Scale Percentage of Gifted Income “Taxed” into 5-6% R & D Bonds, etc. etc. etc.} far out weighs any objection from lesser thought through and less humane orthodoxies.

Grace and graciousness trumps greed and ego which is the lesson of historical paradigm changes.

If you changed “an addition to deficit spending,” in your first paragraph to “additional Monetary Gifts” you would not only be more correct and insightful of the ultimate and actual effect, you’d also overcome the framing problem MMT and progressive economists have because they confusingly use the very words debt and deficit to attempt to describe what actually occurs…which of course is a less than optimal form of MONETARY GIFTING.

That could lead to a mental breakthrough for both MMTers and the general populace that the way to implementing a paradigm change in economics and the money system would be a double entry bookkeeping 50% Discount/Rebate policy at consumer retail sale as well as the retail point of Finance which is the point of one’s mortgage, automobile, insurance or other big ticket item monthly payment.

What one needs to realize is that new paradigm concepts can be correct, but an additional insight is occasionally necessary for its complete transformation. For instance, the Copernican cosmological new paradigm concept of helio-centrism actually didn’t predict astro-physical movements as accurately as Ptolemaic cosmology’s geo-centrism. It took Kepler’s insight that orbits were not annointedly perfect circles, but rather ellipses…to finally make it work better and thus to affirm helio-centrism.

The new monetary paradigm needs the additional Keplerian insight that “free” market theoretics is actually largely a fetishized framework and misnomer for chaos because it attempts to enforce TOTAL freedom which includes the (unethical) freedom for commercial agents to inflate their prices way beyond actual costs or even without additional costs AKA “greedflation”. If we instead recognized that in the human universe there is only freedom within known and enforceable barriers, that is ethics, we could craft policy to increase individual and commercial freedom and abundance by implementing a 50% Discount/Rebate at retail sale and then say to commercial agents: “For doubling the potential demand for every one of your goods and services with the above policy you will only be able to inflate your prices 2-3% per annum and any higher price hike will be taxed at a rate of 100%…please utilize competition and innovation to maintain and increase your market share because they are economic virtues instead of the economic felony of greedflation…and if you ignore or try to game the policy of the new economic and monetary paradigm our forensic accountants will call a press conference and point the finger at you for doing so…and then you’ll lose the greatest economic commodity available to you which is the belief that you have the good will of your consumers uppermost in your mind.”

…will we continue to palliate the present zeitgiest, instead of transforming it from Power, Profit and Control into Redeemed/Redemptive Power, Profit and Control…with relevant applications of the most evolutionary and powerful reality anchoring natural philosophical concept of grace?

When in doubt integrate opposites until you find synthesis…and then keep on integrating/synthesizing.
