. The proposals described on this website offer viable, functional, and relatively easy-to-implement solutions to two, major, financial problems:
By separating personal and small business lending from corporate, big-business lending, and by handling personal and small business lending by way of a nationwide network of non-profit foundations, the home foreclosure crisis can be ended in less than six months. This process will also provide substantial moneys to fund county and city governments.
We'll show you how to create a new corporate management structure that will return billions of dollars to the working class and give corporate employees, corporate customers, and the environment equal priority with making a profit. The most common first response to these proposals is disbelief. Society has been brainwashed into believing that these problems are either unsolvable or that the solutions are years away. The idea of offering viable, functional, and relatively easy-to-implement solutions appears to be too good to be true. **mc5 Because much of the evidence supporting them has been ignored, suppressed, or denied, we invite you to reserve judgment until you have examined the evidence. . |

. Before taking you to the solutions, ( Home Foreclosure ) ( Profits First ) it's important for you to understand where we are right now, January 2010. With regard to resolving our financial crises, every solution thus far given any significant attention in the public media has come from people with serious conflicts of interest. We had high hopes for President Obama, but it's obvious now that his presidency is under the control of the banking and other financial interests. The financial institutions are presently collecting billions of dollars in interest on loans. What happens to that interest money is the real issue. Because those who run the financial institutions dominate the federal government, any so-called solutions that come from the government will include the super-wealthy keeping their hands in the wallets and in the pockets of the working class. One may hear numerous solutions proposed by the so-called financial experts, but you can bet that they will not solve the core problems of the financial industry. . |

. No matter how much money the government pumps into the banks and into other financial institutions, that money is not going to solve the financial industry's fundamental problems -- problems such as: Profit's for the super-wealthy first, Profits at any price, Completely ignoring Runaway Global Climate Change, Huge conflicts of interest, Usury-level interest rates, Sixty-to-one leveraging, Shady lending practices, Lending and charging interest on make-believe money. Top that off with: ** Excessive government deficit spending to finance an ineffective and counterproductive war in Iraq, ** A defense-only strategy in the war on global terrorism, and ** Wall Street mogul's continuing fraudulent financial specialization in the stock market and in the money and commodity markets. By what's being peddled in the media, one could get the impression that the financial problems are all but over, but under the media hype, financial disasters are waiting in the wings. And, all the while, the even more serious Runaway Global Climate Change is either being ignored completely or being given token lip-service. These core financial and environmental problems cannot and will not be resolved with more deficit financing. Simply adding regulations won't solve these problems, either. The solution requires major restructuring of the management portion of the financial industry and/or in a replacement of that portion of the financial industry that deals with loans to individuals, home owners, and small businesses. . |

. When one examines the various aspects of the financial crises, the same fundamental cause shows up time after time -- lack of money (lack of liquidity). The infrastructures are still sound. The workers are still there ready, willing and able to produce all the necessary goods and services. The homes, the factories, the transportation system, the sewer system, the electrical system, the educational system, et cetera, et cetera are all still there and functional. What's always missing is one thing and one thing only -- the medium of exchange -- the money that makes the system function -- the money that allows all these pieces to interact with each other in a harmonious and productive manner. The potential buyers of goods and service are there also, but they have no money. This brings up some logical questions: The money was there, so when, where, how, and why did the money get pulled out of the system? We are about to answer that question, but there is an even more pressing question to address first: " Is money still being taken out of the system?" the answer is a resounding YES! Then we ask: How is it being taken out? How do we stop the outflow? and How do we recover or replace the missing money? Empower Working Class Empower Working Class ... Using a medical analogy, imagine an injured person bleeding. One of the first steps in saving his or her life is to stop the bleeding. Now transfer this analogy to the working class. The lifeblood on the economy is money. The working class is seriously hemorrhaging money from at least six major wounds and dozens of lesser ones. We'll mention only the three we are presently focus on and refer those interested to the full list. ** The unrealistic lending practices++ in the financial industry primarily expressed in the collapsing real estate market is taking billions of dollars and millions of homes away from the working class. ++ Subprime lending and other destructive and deceptive lending practices ** Manipulative, corporate borrowing practices are another major problem. Using corporate stocks, the super-wealthy are silently siphoning billions of dollars out of corporations. This prevents corporations from financing health care and paying fair wages. ** Usury-level interest rates of credit card lenders is the cause of billions of additional dollars to move from the pocket of the working class into the bank accounts of the super-wealthy. You could also think of these money leaks as a dam with gaping holes in it, or as a security fence with breaks in it, or like trying to run a ship with holes its hull. Imagine trying to heat your home in the winter with the open windows. In order to function properly, these fundamental flaws, these money leaks must be acknowledged and dealt with responsibly. Anything else is "whipped cream on garbage." For more on financial manipulation, readers are directed to the page titled: Where Have All the Dollars Gone? . |

. Re-Vitalizing the Economy: If we are going to end the present financial crisis, we have to stimulate the growth of the economy. To do that, we have to go to where it grows. It grows by the effort, the ingenuity, and labor of the working class. The men and women of the working class are the producers of the goods and services. They are the ones who make the real tangible wealth. Real Money: Real money is one thing and one thing only. It's a form of goods and services. **ff2 Money is missing because goods and services are missing. The goods and services are missing because the creators of the goods and services are being abandoned, discounted, ignored, misused, lied to, milked for money, mis-educated, and grossly underpaid. The tools for creating goods and services, the infrastructures, are being allowed to deteriorate, and the jobs are being shipped overseas. In the place of real money, we have fiat money which is a gloried form of "monopoly" money. The Federal Reserve creates this, at will, by printing paper money and by creative accounting in which they make computer ledger entries and then declares that to be money The Destruction: We cannot destroy the engine of production and expect to be wealthy. We cannot allow our health and education systems to be destroyed in order to pay state, county and local bills and expect to be wealthy. We cannot allow the American infrastructures to continue to deteriorate and expect to be wealthy. **m5 We can't grow potatoes in a banker's high-rise office building! Who Creates the Wealth? The bankers do not make real money. The politicians do not make real money. The super-wealthy do not make real money. The people do! The working class does. The Pretenders: The bankers, the politicians, the super-wealthy create only fake money, technically known as fiat money, **m2 and use that make-believe money to manipulate the people and the monetary system to their own advantage. By legalizing what used to be criminal activities, such as charging usury-level interest rates, the super-wealthy have taken billions of dollars from the working class. Betting on whether the stock market goes up or down used to be illegal. Today speculators gamble on the rise and fall of the stock market using a tool called subprime derivatives. **m3 The gamblers are called "hedge fund" managers and "investment bankers." Usury: In the days of Al Capone, usury (charging borrowers excessive interest rates) was illegal. Today charging exorbitant interest rates is legal, and it's the life blood of the financial industry. The Bottom Line: is that the consumers and the hoarders of the goods and services have exceeded the destroyed and deteriorating production capacity of the producers of goods and services. In the name of profit by the super-wealthy, and in the name of survival by the people, the environment has been over-fished, over-grazed, over-cut, over-populated, excessively polluted, callously destroyed and arrogantly ignored. We have turned on Nature's Doomsday Machine and we have about five years in which to turn it back off again of face the death of billion of human beings. **ff1 Go to Where Wealth Grows: If we are to stimulate the growth of the economy, we have to go to where it grows. We have to stimulate the producers of those goods and services. Bailing out multi-billion-dollar financial institutions may look like a solution. IT'S NOT! It's treating symptoms. It's focus is on money-lenders, politicians, and the super-wealthy. In spite of having said this before: If we want to stimulate the growth of the economy, we have to go to where it grows. We have to stimulate the producers of those goods and services -- The Working Class. We also have to bridal unbridled capitalism. Regulating the financial industry is only a minor piece of that process. We have to expand the present purpose of business from profits at any price to include the requirements of employees, customers, the environment and the money lenders.
Partnering businesses with non-profit foundations is a key to solving this financial crisis. Partnering government service agencies with non-profit foundations is a second key to solving this financial crisis. For the full explanation of the process, follow the links below. ª¹ |
