if this economy requires new ideas, here's one...

With New Years coming up. It gave me an idea. Why couldn't the Veterans Administration prescribe and supply sound canceling headphones to the vets that don't particularly care for fireworks and explosions? Give them a coupon and send them to best buy or circuit city to get them. Maybe they would buy other things while they were in the store. It would be helpful on July 4th and other holidays as well.

Maybe we could just stop drowning our economy in debt by sending soldiers to lose their hearing in war.

As long as we're presenting ideas...

Or close the fed and switch to a resource based economy?

Huh? What? Sorry I couldn't hear you... Lost my hearing in combat.









...Ok... It was half my hearing in one ear.

The only way that might happen is if free energy is authorized for widespread dissemination. And as long as they continue to control the oil supply they won't allow that to happen.

I figure that before they agree to free energy they will attempt to maintain control by switching us to a chip based economy where they control the information on the chips. If you rebel against the system they will cut off your chip and make you a vagrant. Free energy is the only way out and we must fight them for it.

The Fed is most likely the single biggest problem here in the US.

Globally it is the Central Banks.

The resource economy idea in Zeitgeist Addendum has its merits,
but I have not seen a plan for how you would get ppl to trade
goods and services, ie. exchange rates etc etc.

Even in a resource economy how many chickens will get you a house ?

LOL

I think as a first step if we went back to a non inflationary currency
based on gold or silver or both that would be a good start like
Ron Paul recommends and several other major market analysts
that called that current crash.

It's not the governments place to buy headphones. Cut taxes and people can buy their own damn headphones.

I mean for the guys and gals with PTSD and conditions where they don't have anywhere to go to get away from the fireworks.

That's the other problem. More people are receiving money from the government than are actually supporting it.
