We Solved the Problem

How? We initiated a government take-over.

Well, not really. Only in theory actually.

We, that is, some friends of mine and my brothers, sometimes talk about the government's problems. This last week, we were talking about the debt problem. (Surprised?)

Now, I'm not a politician, businessman, economist, or anything else and neither is anybody else except one, and he's not any of those three named. But, we all understand some basic principles of economics and business. And, we all know our Bibles pretty well.

So, what's our solution? How do we solve the government debt problem. (Actually, we solved the international debt problem too.)

We write off all the international debts and start over! Simple right? Logical? Some might not think so, but it must be good, after all, it's in the Bible. Do you remember in Leviticus, (or one of those first five books) about the year of Jubilee? Basically, everything that was borrowed and not returned before the year of Jubilee was written off at the year of Jubilee. (Every 50 years).

That's the Biblical basis. Here's the business basis. My sister has worked for people, (doctors, insurance etc). It's a basic general business practice to write off debts after it's been a long time. (Unless you're really stingy, but, even then, you hardly ever get payed anyway.)

So, if everybody in the world writes off all their international debts, and cuts spending, only internal debts will be left. A reasonable tax should cover that. So, then you can lower the rest of the taxes so that it is reasonable plus a reasonable profit and voila!

We may not always make the best decisions, but, it can't be worse than it is now. Let's hear it for our government take-over !(Just kidding)
