Creating A User Friendly Government,
Through the Social - Economics of the Twenty-First Century!
It’s about Raising Your Standards as a Citizen and . . .
Moving in to the Twenty-First Century!
Food for thought....
Do you believe that you are responsible for the actions of your government?
NOTE:
It is confusing to hear politicians at various levels of government target public servants for layoffs during troubled times. It is as if those public servants provide no service of any kind. The actuality is that those politicians believe that it is popular to target public servants and therefore, no one will understand that services are being reduced. Every job they cut reduces the economy by at least 01.6 jobs. This means that each job creates approximately its value in taxes every twenty-four to thirty months. If governments lay off public servants in troubled financial times; who will replace the lost taxes that the government requires? And how will citizens make out without the lost services?

Creating a User Friendly Government will become the focus of many governments during the next ten to fifteen years as nations adapt to the New Economics of the Twenty-First Century!
The Gomburg Brown & Co Programs; initiated broadly and to suit government priorities and policies for their people will when put in to effect create the basis of a user friendly government.
The Programs of Full Employment, Infrastructure, Housing supply and stability, Education and Advanced Education and Enhanced Health Care require a basic stability and security.
The implementation of the Programs requires a disciplined financial control and a focus on the public services. These Programs will blend any economy into a new social awareness.
The Programs, based on universality and inclusiveness will be low cost and effective; they will lower the cost of government as they permit all citizens to participate in the social economic growth.
The Elected Audit Bureau will cause governments to provide strong discipline required for the complex and intricate financial aspects of blending the Programs timely and effectively. The provision of independent auditor oversight will place government in a position of financial awareness and control. The public awareness will ensure that services are provided at appropriate levels and that cost overruns are nominal.
Every nation requires:
1) Secure currency and secure borders. World currency must be stabilized and the faulty philosophy of fluctuating currencies must be resolved. The power over a nations’ currency is greater than the power of a great military. Smaller nations may be absorbed through financial transactions. It works exactly like the Monopoly Game. Whoever (nation) controls your currency they control your nation. (they win the game)
Irrespective of what nation you live in: Would you agree with the other citizens living in your block to give up your responsibilities and turn over your pay check, your property and the lives of your children to a block manager or a committee of twenty-seven to secure your home, your grocery supply, your power, your transportation and so on; including your families safety and security? Absurd!
This philosophy is being put forward by some group promoting blending currency and/ or economies of nations. The theory is plainly defective, contrary to common sense and not in the public interest for any nation’s people. Such a situation would soon become a no-win; no-win situation for the population precisely as it would for you and your family in the above example.
2) Free trade should be given a significant review.
Import and export is extremely important within nations and between states, and in Canada between provinces. It is also extremely important between municipalities, the provision of health care, education and so on with government supplied products and services. It is a basic principle of economics, referred to as competition. This is a basic law of nature; whatever you can do for yourself, when appropriate is always the best direction. It applies to farmers; small business and large and every operation of exchange of funds and government at all levels.
On close examination free trade may not be the magic potion for economies. Future trading agreements should be on the basis of separate and individual agreements containing expiry terms of five years or less. Whenever a finished product or service is imported; the importing nations’ economy and citizens are excluded from the majority of the economic activity required for the production of that particular import.
A good friend of the writer has suggested that it would be unfair to citizens for their nation to halt the import of products and services that in his opinion are such bargains. No doubt many products seem to be at prices lower that their historical prices; however many such imports are increasing in price toward former domestically produced prices for the same product. In addition quality is lower in some cases.
For this digression let’s accept the proposition that the imported goods and services are comfortably lower in price and of equal quality. The consumer price does not reflect the cost! You may save a hundred dollars or so, on an imported fridge or range or something else. The real cost is hidden in the tax and banking systems. The hidden cost of your saving on a fridge or stove from another nation is precisely the cost of the current financial problems within the United States and Canada and possibly other nations. This cost through outsourcing of jobs and resulting unemployment is costing dearly in terms of hundred of $Billions of dollars for support to the finance and other industries; and indirectly; possibly, the foreclosure of millions of peoples’ homes.
It is as if someone is asleep at the switch. No one in authority seems to have a basic understanding of economics. Economic theories have been developed by people who have never operated within any economy. If they did they would have come up with better theories. The theories followed generally today are faulty theories. Any students of economics who take the time to dissect the operation of how economics works will immediately understand how faulty those old and popular theories have been.
CONCLUSION: The facts support the proposition that economic losses due to any imports that can be produced domestically can be recovered several times over with domestically produced goods and services of similar nature. This is due to the fact that the domestic economy will experience the billions of financial transfer events caused by that production. Therefore; any government can subsidize domestic prices on these goods and services to at least the level of the cost of imported goods and services.
It is interesting to note; however that a major provision; I understand in free trade agreements is that no nation signing to an agreement can subsidize a product or service of any kind.The production of the product or service gives the exporter nation a major boost in economic growth and costs the importing nation in many ways. This loss in economic activity to the importer nation includes jobs and wages, normal job deductions for unemployment, health care, pensions, taxes at the three levels of government, much needed personal savings of citizens, profits and interest on funds and most importantly, more important than jobs: lost is the value of the consumption and interaction within the economy and the transfer of currency. A single purchase of a product or service working its way through the economic cycle can create up to 11,500,000 financial transfers or more in a very short period of time.
3) All international agreements of any kind can be made in a manner that will not influence or interfere in any way with another nations’ financial or border sovereignty. Control of currency and borders are the basis of sovereignty.
4) Assistance to nations should be in the form of services and products. No currency, raw materials, resources, or unfinished products should leave any nation for any reason other than the inability for that nation to mine, develop, process or manufacture the product or service domestically. No product or service should be imported to any nation which can be produced in that nation at any price. Only qualified citizens should be involved in employment of any kind within any nation unless there is has been a demonstrated need and they have been assigned special status for a limited term.
When nations need money; the funds should be provided through that nations’ financial system. If funds are to transfer from one nation to another nation it must always be by a loan and the funds then given under close scrutiny. No government can give away any amount of the people’s money.
5) The fact must be recognized by all governments that the citizens in every nation pay the cost of the economy. They pay all the costs of government and business of all kinds less exports. The unemployed, possibly starving people pay the cost of the economy. When excluded from participation they become the additions of the economy through whatever assistance they receive from government and other citizens and pay in to the economy with their needs and problems. Every individual who consumes a service or a product of any kind puts into the economy of their nation.
7) Discipline must be understood to be the enabler for all people world-wide. All education systems must begin to place discipline as the basis of education and therefore should build in basic discipline to their educational programs at all levels. New and higher standards are required in most if not all nations.
"Any student is better off in their life if they complete twelve years of school and learn discipline; than they would be if they learned a wide range of subjects and no discipline!"And more . . . . . . .
