Yours is a good essay, and provokes thought, but formatting is your FRiend:
The real solution to inflation is also a solution to many other problems. It will not be painless to many.
1.) The fed has to stop quantitative easing now. The problem there lies in that the fed prints money to pay government bills.
2.) Massive cuts to government need to occur. That means putting government employees in the unemployment line. No longer do they get away unaffected by government caused problems. It also means that the trillions of dollars of spending that has occurred next to cease. All of it now.
3.) One of the driving causes of inflation is energy costs. If affects nearly everything you buy. It is not just a gas pump issue. We need to drill now and drill everywhere. Allow the free market to decide where it is profitable to drill and not drill. This should not be the governments problem. There is no pain associated with this item. Only leftist that worship at the alter of scientism and global warming will hemorrhage from their diminutive pea brains.
4.) Worker productivity needs to increase. More units of output per labor hour of whatever good or service that is being produced increases at current cost levels. This is purely a private sector solution that will occur naturally. Government cannot force this or aid in this. There are zero people in government that have any knowledge of how the real world works and they are a bunch of lazy asses that should not be looked towards solutions.
5.) A real federal budget needs to be created. None of this omnibus spending bull crap. That budget needs to eliminate funding for regulatory agencies and spend less each year than the previous year for the next ten years. The private sector will experience reduced costs for their production because they no long need to comply regulations and have the expense in doing so.
6.) The border needs to be shutdown. No more student visas, no more green cards, no more legal or illegal immigration. Yes, people can still visit the US for vacation or conduct business meetings, but they cannot live here. Additionally, all illegal aliens need to be deported. They are a net cost to society and drive up costs for many services including education, health care, law enforcement, prisons, and all the handouts the Brandon Administration gives them.
“5.) A real federal budget needs to be created. None of this omnibus spending bull crap. “
Absolutely. Congress should pass individual spending bills for every department, if not every program in the department. Force them to vote for or against PBS, huge research grants for big Pharma, Amtrak, foreign aid, $200 million dollar bridges to nowhere in Alaska, and Planned Parenthood.
A couple of years ago I looked at a Congressional record from the early 1800’s. The level of detail of Congressional oversight was amazing. Congress at that time was voting yea or yea to installing cannons at a fort. They actually debated the wisdom of the purchase.
Also, end the fiction of the “baseline” budget including an automatic increase of 7 or 8% so Congress can pass a 5% increase and tell the sheep they “cut” spending. The baseline should be the prior year spending.
Nothing continues forever. The day we lose reserve currency status is the day the borrowing money spigot dries up. Congress will have to make massive cuts to the budget, eliminating entire departments and doing waves of the 10-20% across the board headcounts those of us who worked in corporate America during the 1990’s and early 2000’s experienced.
You speak truth and facts. It would fix 95% of our issues.
The problem is that over Globalist overlords want this, and have planned it.
Instead of letting free people do what makes sense, they want this quandary and chaos.
I agree 100% with what you wrote but almost positive it would take a hot war with the military siding with us to make this happen.
