I believe I have a solution for the
current economic condition. Considering the billions of dollars being poured
into revitalizing the economy, I think that this idea would work. It’s even
complicated and confusing enough to satisfy the most ardent civil servant. Of
course, there are some stipulations attached.
Politicians at any level do not qualify. The recipients must have been born in
this country. Also, all levels of government must cap current overheads such as
taxes.
Grocers, lawyers, homebuilders, appliance manufacturers, foreign automakers,
foreign oil and gas companies, foreign communication companies, foreign mining
companies, forestry companies, construction companies, etc. must also have their
current prices capped, thereby preventing outrageous inflation.
People convicted of criminal actions do not qualify either. That leaves, I
think, the average consumer.
Now, the solution you’ve been waiting for: Give the remaining population a lump
sum of $1 million each. This will give the general public the necessary
disposable income to keep spending or investing. It’s also a lot cheaper.
We don’t have a population of 40 billion*. The drug dealers and addicts will take
care of themselves as they are doing now. By the time this economic downturn
rights itself, most of these recipients will be back to where they were anyway:
no further ahead, just as the government likes, and the cycle will start again.
The banks aren’t saddled with foreclosures and everybody is happy.
* 40 billion for
Canada - substitute a whole lot more for the U.S. & Britain
