First, thank you for a positive response. It has been so long since I wrote that piece that I am not sure what is in it.

The same body that would create the money for the income would create the money to fund government. That would be accomplished by setting the amount of money that would be provided for government at the current per capita rate of total government spending (all spending by all government this year divided by the present population). Forever afterward, the amount of money to be provided for all government each year would be determined by today’s per capita rate of total government spending multiplied by the size of the nation’s population that year: as it grew, the amount of money provided for government would grow; in the unlikely event that the size of the population were to fall the amount of money provided for government would decrease.

As I see it, all of that money should be made available initially to the central government. The money not spent there would be apportioned to the states, based on their populations. (That process would presumably be repeated between state and local government within the states.) The national representatives and senators would realize that the less money they spent there, the more money would be sent back home, to benefit the people who elected them. They would have an incentive to minimize the amount spent by the federal government, maximizing the amount of money sent to the states.

To be clear, some of that money would be used to pay off all existing public debt. Over the years, that would decrease then end altogether, providing more money fore public goods.
