First of all, thanks for the link to the mini-manifesto. I was unaware of its existence. Secondly, your political reasoning seems strong to me. Of course, your proposed programs do toss ‘fiscal conservatism’ out the window.

Yet, there is a better way. We could eliminate unemployment, poverty, taxes, and public debt (and pay one parent $600/wk. to work in the home) while making the economy self-regulating. All that could be accomplished, in the U.S., with a single Act of Congress. If curious, a summary of the proposal is related in “A Cure for the Ills of Capitalism” here at medium.com.
