Should Donald Trump become the CEO of the United States Government, Inc…. Will he have the character and courage to return it to the United States of America under the Constitution?

I am sure that the real rate of inflation is much higher than reported. Anyone who purchases goods and services experiences this for themselves—in how many fewer units they receive for a price or in what higher price they pay for a unit. A true measure of inflation would consider all wasted effort—including War as the Great Waste-Maker. New money created by bank loans may serve the function of cancelling procuction costs at time of purchase but must be recovered in the prices of goods produced in the future, making the inflationary pressure relentless. Individual item prices can vary and even drop, but the important issue is the ratio of total financial costs relative to the total amount of effective purchasing-power available to liquidate them, and that this ratio is forever increasing as we replace human effort by technology as a factor of production. Money injected by State-assumed debt that accumulates delays the full increase of prices which would otherwise occur but it is nevertheless repayable and must be costed into the price of future production over time, as must its cost of servicing. Of course, this new credit “feeds” charges carried over from a previous costing-cycle.

The economy could not function under the existing defective financial system without the expansion of credit which State spending provides, incurring thereby increasing debt and/or taxation. This, of course, means progressive control over the economy and of human activity by the State, i.e., increasing centralization of power by the State at the expense of individual freedom and choice of action. Failure to recognize this fact, and to understand its underlying financial-accountancy causes, leads policy-makers to utter an endless stream of restrictive inanities about the so-called “desirability” of a “balanced budget”. They think in terms of their own personal experience where they have been taught to “live within their (financial) means” and have no understanding of the implications of such policy in a macro-economic sense wherein, as a nation of individuals, we should be able to do anything of which we are capable and desirous—constrained only by availability of physical and psychological resources. It surely is the marvel of an “enlightened” age that we actually believe that our activities should be constrained by an abstraction called money—which properly regarded is merely a system of accountancy which simply should reflect and not control what we.do. We seem to be afflicted by some kind of collective insanity—which the opportunistic, predatory and confiscatory banking fraternity seems, understandably, only too happy to preserve.

“Why do you not understand what I am saying? It is because you cannot hear My word.” (44) You are of your father the devil, and you want to do the desires of your father. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth because there is no truth in him. Whenever he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own nature, for he is a liar and the father of lies.” (45) But because I speak the truth, you do not believe Me.…”
