Addressing the housing rent crisis requires a multifaceted approach. Here are some key strategies:
1. Expand Rental Assistance: Increasing the availability of rental assistance programs, such as Housing Choice Vouchers, can help low-income families afford housing.
2. Increase Housing Supply: Building more affordable housing units and preserving existing ones can help meet the demand and stabilize rent prices.
3. Reform Zoning Laws: Revising local zoning regulations to allow for denser, multiplex dwellings can increase the housing supply in urban areas.
4. Support Non-Market Housing: Encouraging the development of non-market housing, such as co-ops and government-run housing, can provide affordable options that are not driven by profit.
5. Provide Financial Incentives: Offering financial incentives to developers for building affordable housing can encourage more construction.
6. Protect Renters’ Rights: Strengthening renters’ rights and implementing rent control measures can help prevent excessive rent increases and evictions.
These strategies, when combined, can help alleviate the housing rent crisis and make housing more affordable for everyone.

Industrious Organization is a branch of economics that examines the behavior of firms and the structure of markets. Here are some key aspects:
1. Strategic Behavior of Firms: It studies how firms make decisions regarding production, pricing, and market structure.
2. Regulatory Policy and Antitrust Policy: It analyzes the impact of government policies on the behavior of firms.
3. Market Competition: It explores how companies interact and compete within various market structures, aiming to understand the implications for consumers, industry performance, and economic welfare.
4. Real-world Complications: It factors in real-world complications, such as government intervention in the marketplace, transaction costs, barriers to entry, and more.
The goal of industrial organization is to explain and predict the behavior of firms within various market environments. The term “industrial” in this context refers to any large-scale business activity, such as tourism or agriculture, not just manufacturing.

A mercantile government, often associated with the economic theory of mercantilism, is a system where the government regulates the nation’s economy with the goal of augmenting state power at the expense of rival national powers. This system was common in Europe from the 16th to the 18th centuries.
Key characteristics of a mercantile government include:
1. Maximizing Exports and Minimizing Imports: The policy aims to maximize the accumulation of resources within the country and use those resources for one-sided trade.
2. Government Regulation: Mercantilism promotes government regulation of a nation’s economy.
3. National Power: The ultimate goal is to bolster state power at the expense of rival national powers.
4. High Tariffs: High tariffs, especially on manufactured goods, were almost universally a feature of mercantilist policy.
This system was replaced by free-trade economic theory in the mid-18th century. Some argue that it is still practiced in the economies of industrializing countries in the form of economic interventionism.
In the early Renaissance, a number of small, wealthy, trade-based nations embraced republican ideals, notably across Italy and the Baltic. In these “mercantile republics,” the leaders – usually a council of merchants headed by a doge or mayor – were elected by the citizenry with the primary duty of increasing the city-state's collective wealth. Thus, while military affairs were of importance, these were usually focused on opening or guarding trade routes. And diplomacy was centered on such matters as tariffs, customs duties and financial matters. In short, merchant republics had capital lead the way, and gave a pragmatic approach to governing, although occasionally they were not immune to misguided visions of glory, as when the aged Doge Dandolo joined the Fourth Crusade and helped sack Constantinople.
______________________________________________________________
Merchant republics, such as those in medieval Italy, employed a unique form of governance that combined elements of republicanism with a strong focus on trade and commerce. Here are some key aspects of their civics:
1. Leadership: Typically, a council of merchants headed by a doge or mayor was elected by the citizenry.
2. Primary Duty: The main responsibility of the leaders was to increase the city-state’s collective wealth.
3. Military Affairs: Focused on opening or guarding trade routes rather than territorial expansion.
4. Diplomacy: Centered on tariffs, customs duties, and financial matters.
5. Economic Focus: Emphasized trade and commerce, with policies designed to support and expand these activities.
These civics allowed merchant republics to thrive economically and maintain a degree of political autonomy.
In general, these mercantile republics arose in regions of Europe where feudal control by an absolutist monarchy was minimal or absent completely. In the Holy Roman Empire, 51 “free imperial cities,” many later composing the Hanseatic League, established chartered mercantile republics. To the east, two Russian cities – Novgorod and Pskov – pursued republicanism into the 15th Century until Muscovy put an end to any pretensions of independence. But it was in Italy that mercantile republican aspirations reached their culmination, with powerful city-states such as Venice, Genoa, Pisa, Florence and others dominating the landscape until the Napoleonic Wars subsumed their greed.

During the era of the gold standard, trade imbalances were often settled in gold. Countries with trade surpluses accumulated gold as payment for their exports. Conversely, nations with trade deficits saw their gold reserves decline as gold flowed out of those nations.
However, this system changed over time. The gold standard was completely replaced by fiat money, a term to describe currency that is used because of a government’s order, or fiat, that the currency must be accepted as a means of payment. Today, trade imbalances are not directly settled in gold but are managed through international financial markets and foreign exchange reserves.
Gold and oil have a relationship through commodity indices. In other words, when energy prices and the price of energy-related commodities go down, so do oil prices. When this happens, managers of oil companies end up selling “millions of ounces of gold” that they have kept as a protective hedge (much like how gold is used as a hedge against inflation).
In the face of global economic uncertainty, gold is seen as a safe asset and an effective hedge against inflation. Therefore, central banks around the world have been buying gold to strengthen their reserves.
The Export-Import Bank of the United States (EXIM) is the official export credit agency of the United States. It is an independent Executive Branch agency with a mission of supporting American jobs by facilitating the export of U.S. goods and services. When private sector lenders are unable or unwilling to provide financing, EXIM fills in the gap for American businesses by equipping them with the financing tools necessary to compete for global sales. In doing so, the agency levels the playing field for U.S. goods and services going up against foreign competition in overseas markets, so that American companies can create more good-paying American jobs. Because it is backed by the full faith and credit of the United States, EXIM assumes credit and country risks that the private sector is unable or unwilling to accept. The agency’s charter requires that all transactions it authorizes demonstrate a reasonable assurance of repayment; EXIM consistently maintains a low default rate and closely monitors credit and other risks in its portfolio.

Paying off the national debt could have various effects on prices, and these effects would largely depend on how the debt is paid off and what economic policies are in place. Here are some potential scenarios:
1. Inflation: If the government prints more money to pay off its debt, it could lead to an increase in the supply of money, which can result in inflation. Inflation generally leads to higher prices for goods and services.
2. Deflation: On the other hand, if the government significantly reduces spending to pay off the debt, it could potentially lead to deflation. Deflation is a decrease in the general price level of goods and services, but it also increases the real value of debt, which could make it harder for borrowers to pay off their debts.
3. Interest Rates and Investment: The national debt can influence interest rates. If the debt is paid off, it could potentially lower interest rates, encouraging investment and potentially leading to economic growth. This could have various effects on prices, depending on factors like the level of demand and the cost of production.
4. Currency Value: Paying off the national debt could strengthen the value of the dollar, which might lower the cost of imported goods.
5. Interest Payments: Currently, the U.S. needs to pay the interest on its debt and the principal of maturing government bonds. If the national debt were paid off, these interest payments would cease, potentially freeing up a significant portion of the federal budget.
6. Economic Impact: The absence of government bonds could impact the economy. These bonds are considered safe investments and are integral to the global financial system. Their absence could force investors to seek alternative investment vehicles.
7. Fiscal Policy: The ability to engage in fiscal policy, such as stimulus spending during economic downturns, could be affected. Currently, such measures often involve issuing debt.
8. Potential for Surplus: If a country can pay off its debt, it suggests that revenues are exceeding expenditures, leading to a budget surplus. This could provide more funds for public services, infrastructure, and other government programs.
9. Stability and Confidence: The U.S. paying off its debt could boost global confidence in the U.S. economy, as it has long been viewed as an ultra-safe asset and a foundation of global commerce.
10. Shift in Global Financial Markets: The repayment of U.S. debt could lead to a shift in global financial markets. Currently, U.S. Treasury bonds are a significant component of many countries’ foreign exchange reserves. If these bonds were no longer issued, countries might need to find new safe assets.
11. Potential Economic Recession: Some economists argue that a sudden repayment of U.S. debt could potentially lead to a financial crisis and likely a recession. This is because the debt plays a crucial role in the global economy, and a sudden change could disrupt financial systems.
12. Impact on Interest Rates: U.S. Treasury bonds often serve as a benchmark for interest rates globally. If the U.S. were to pay off its debt, it could impact these rates, affecting everything from the cost of mortgages to the rate of return on investments.
13. Economic Instability: A sudden pay-off of national debt could lead to economic instability. For instance, if the U.S. were to default on its debt, it could cause a global economic slowdown. The U.S. debt is viewed as an ultra-safe asset and is a foundation of global commerce. A default could shatter the $24 trillion market for Treasury debt, cause financial markets to freeze up, and ignite an international crisis.
14. Job Loss: A default on the debt limit could lead to a significant weakening of the U.S. economy, potentially wiping out roughly 1.5 million jobs in just a week. If a government default were to last much longer, the consequences would be far more dire, with U.S. economic growth sinking, 7.8 million American jobs vanishing, borrowing rates jumping, and the unemployment rate soaring.
15. Loss of Household Wealth: A long-term government default could lead to a stock-market plunge that would erase $10 trillion in household wealth.
16. Global Repercussions: The repercussions of a first-ever default on the federal debt would quickly reverberate around the world. Orders for Chinese factories that sell electronics to the U.S. could dry up, and Swiss investors who own U.S. Treasurys would suffer losses.
It’s important to note that these are potential scenarios and the actual outcome would depend on a variety of factors, including fiscal and monetary policies, global economic conditions, and market reactions. Economists have different views on this topic, and the relationship between national debt and prices is a complex issue that is the subject of ongoing research and debate.
The Federal Reserve System, established in 1913, is not “owned” by anyone. It serves as the nation’s central bank and is an independent entity within the government. The system includes a central governing board (the Federal Reserve Board of Governors), a decentralized operating structure of 12 Federal Reserve Banks, and a blend of public and private characteristics.
The Board of Governors, appointed by the President and confirmed by the Senate, provides general guidance for the Federal Reserve System and oversees the 12 Reserve Banks. The Board reports to and is directly accountable to Congress.
The 12 regional Federal Reserve Banks are owned by big private banks. However, owning Reserve Bank stock is quite different from owning stock in a private company. The Reserve Banks are not operated for profit, and ownership of a certain amount of stock is, by law, a condition of membership in the System. The member banks must by law invest 3 percent of their capital as stock in the Reserve Banks. They do receive dividends of 6 percent per year from the Reserve Banks and get to elect each Reserve Bank’s board of directors. But the banks don’t necessarily run the show.
In conclusion, while the Federal Reserve System has private aspects, it is an independent entity within the government and is not a private, profit-making institution.
As of June 3, 2024, the U.S. national debt totaled $34.64 trillion. This debt is the sum of past annual budget deficits and is made up of different types of debt, such as that held by the public and federal government trust funds. The national debt has grown significantly over time, with a notable increase from $27.77 trillion to $31.46 trillion under President Joe Biden as of March 1, 2023. The rise in debt is primarily due to a mismatch between spending and revenues, with the federal government often spending more than it takes in. This necessitates borrowing money to cover the annual deficit, which adds to the growing national debt.

Predictive economy generally refers to the use of economic forecasting to predict future economic conditions. Economic forecasting is the process of attempting to predict the future condition of the economy using a combination of widely followed indicators. Here are some key points about economic forecasting:
Government officials and business managers use economic forecasts to determine fiscal and monetary policies and plan future operating activities.
Economic forecasting is based on the statistical methods of forecasting, which use variables, their relation to each other, and their relationship to the overall economy.
Leading indicators are economic measures that help forecast an economy. They are used to predict where the economy is headed before the actual changes take place. Leading indicators include the Consumer Confidence Index (CCI), initial jobless claims, and durable goods orders.
For example, as of the end of 2023, the US economy was expected to dodge a recession in 2024, with a GDP growth of 1.7% for the year, down from 2.5% in 2023. Inflation was expected to fall to 2% before the end of the summer, but then turn higher, ending the year around 2.7%. These predictions were made based on various economic indicators and trends.
______________________________________________________________
In the good old days, after George Washington and the boys won the war to free us from the bank of England's predatory and impoverishing practices, they set up a "revolutionary" economic system. The government created and issued all the public currency, spending it into circulation to purchase what the government needed, then after the currency circulated through society to fuel commerce, was taxed back to the government to balance the books.
Then, in 1913, a corrupt Congress and a corrupt President changed the structure of the nation's economy and stole your freedom to say "no"! The economic system was reverted to a mirror of that same system the nation fought a revolution to be free of. The power to issue money was taken away from the government and given to the bankers and from that day onward, ALL money in circulation was created as the result of a loan at interest from the bankers to the government, to business, and to the people. There is no exception. Every dollar paid in salary, spent to purchase food or gas, or paid in taxes, began as an interest bearing loan. There is no money in circulation in the United States that did not start out as a loan at interest from the bankers at the privately-owned Federal Reserve system.
This system not only reserved the choice whether to use the bank to the people, but it was a stable system, because as debt increased, the people could voluntarily choose to stop borrowing from the bank! That was one of the most important freedoms won during the revolution; the freedom to say "no" to the banks!
The following diagram shows the principle difference with the central bank system as opposed to the revolutionary economic system of the United States.
As you can see, the main difference between the economic system created by the Founding Fathers and the current system is that the control of the printing presses has been given over to the private central bank. The government no longer prints up and spends the money it needs to operate, but BORROWS the money from the private central bank, at interest! Then the money is spent into circulation and winds its way through the population, and is then collected back in taxes. But here is the problem. Taxes now have to collect back MORE money than the government spent in order to pay the interest back to the private central bank. Over time, relentlessly, the private central bank is acquiring wealth from the population, in essence charging the people a fee for doing what the government itself originally did for free. That is the major difference between the economic system created by the nation's founders (the reason we fought a war to be free of the Bank of England) and the system we have today.
"I am a most unhappy man. I have unwittingly ruined my country. A great industrial nation is now controlled by its system of credit. We are no longer a government by free opinion, no longer a government by conviction and the vote of the majority, but a government by the opinion and duress of a small group of dominant men." -- Woodrow Wilson 1919

We'll Use the Trade Exchange Tax Below, National Sales Tax Below & VAT Below. The three would Raise over $17 Trillion a Year, compared to the $4.4 Trillion today.
1) Trade Exchange Tax: Put a one cent tax per share traded in the United States and watch how fast the deficit goes away. For example, today 100,754,224 shares of Tesla were sold. For that ONE stock, the amount of tax raised today would be $1,007,542.24 and Tesla closed at $176.54 a share. On the NASDAQ today 6,460,061,903 shares were traded ($646,006,190.30 in taxes on just ONE stock exchange in ONE day with a tax rate of ONE penny) and $336,800,424,068 was their total value. Let's say there's 200 trading days. 200 times $646,006,190.30 is $12,920,123,806,000 a year. Almost 13 trillion raised from one stock exchange with one cent a share tax rate. The money is out there, but no one will tax the wealthy.

2) National Consumption Tax: The FairTax Act of 2023, also known as H.R.25, is a bill introduced by Rep. Earl L. “Buddy” Carter. This legislation proposes a national sales tax on the use or consumption of taxable property or services. Here are some key points about the FairTax Act:
1: Replacement of Current Taxes: The FairTax Act aims to replace all major sources of the federal government’s revenue, including individual income tax, corporate income tax, estate and gift taxes, and payroll tax, with a national sales tax & VAT.
2: Sales Tax Rate: The rate of the sales tax will be 23% in 2025, with adjustments to the rate in subsequent years. However, taxpayers may be more familiar with the tax-exclusive rate, which is how state sales taxes are typically described. The FairTax Act would result in a tax-exclusive sales tax rate of about 40%.
3: Exemptions and Rebates: There are exemptions from the tax for used and intangible property; for property or services purchased for business, export, or investment purposes; and for state government functions. Family members who are lawful U.S. residents receive a monthly sales tax rebate (Family Consumption Allowance) based upon criteria related to family size and poverty guidelines.
4: Administration and Collection: The states have the responsibility for administering, collecting, and remitting the sales tax to the Treasury.
5: Termination of the IRS: No funding is authorized for the operations of the Internal Revenue Service after FY2027. The bill also terminates the national sales tax if the Sixteenth Amendment to the Constitution (authorizing an income tax) is not repealed within seven years after the enactment of this bill.
6. Unauthorized Immigration: Those who slip through the cracks would be a big boost to economy and reduce the deficit by roughly $9 Trillion over 10 years.
3) A Value-Added Tax (VAT) is a type of consumption tax that is applied to a product at each stage of production, before its final sale. Here’s a more detailed description:
1. Levied at Each Stage: VAT is levied on the value that is added at each stage of the production and distribution process. This means it’s applied not just at the point of sale, but from the initial production to the final sale of the goods and services at 10%.
2. Tax Credit System: Every business involved in the production and distribution chain receives a tax credit for the VAT already paid. This mechanism avoids the cascading effect of tax on tax which is a common problem with the traditional sales tax system.
3. Final Consumer Pays: The end consumer, who does not have the right to claim a VAT credit, bears the VAT charged by the last dealer in the supply chain. This makes VAT essentially a tax on the final consumption.
4. Global Usage: VAT is used in more than 160 countries worldwide. It’s often compared to a sales tax. However, unlike a sales tax, which is only assessed and paid by the consumer at the end of the supply chain, VAT is assessed and collected at each stage of the supply chain.
In summary, VAT is a multi-stage tax levied at each step of the value addition chain with a provision of set-off for input VAT, which makes it a tax only on value addition and not gross turnover of the businesses. At each stage, the buyer pays the VAT on the purchase price and collects VAT on the selling price, remitting the difference to the tax authority. The end consumer ultimately bears this tax as businesses along the way are reimbursed for the VAT already paid.
It’s important to note that the FairTax Act has been a recurring proposal since it was first introduced in 1999. However, it has only garnered a small number of cosponsors and has never moved out of committee.

FED Reserve would end Operations and convert to an LTD Incorporated as a Industrial Finance Corporation Providing Support to Manufacturing. All Loans to Government would no longer apply from the FED Reserve and Money would take place through the Treasury.
The Industrial Finance Corporation of the United States (IFCUS) is a proposed entity introduced by U.S. Senators. The aim of the IFCUS is to finance investments in high-tech manufacturing, promoting innovation and creating jobs through domestic production.
The IFCUS would provide strategic, patient investments to U.S. manufacturing projects that have a positive return-on-investment for workers, local economies, and national security. The corporation would use a one-time appropriation from Congress to finance these investments.
The proposed IFC Act would establish a government-owned corporation providing capital to small and medium-sized manufacturing businesses in critical industrial sectors. The IFCUS will leverage $50B in capital to generate hundreds of billions of dollars of additional financing by working with private capital partners. It will have the authority to issue and guarantee loans, purchase equity stakes, issue bonds, acquire assets, create investment facilities and enterprise funds, and securitize its investments.
This initiative is seen as a response to the supply chain weaknesses exposed by the COVID-19 pandemic, the offshoring of good manufacturing jobs, and the overreliance on production in rival nations. The IFCUS is expected to address these issues and help U.S. manufacturers overcome barriers to funding so they can continue to lead the world in innovation.

The decision to return to the gold and silver standard involves weighing various pros and cons:
Pros of Gold and Silver Standard:
1. Stability in Currency Value: Gold and silver have been recognized as valuable across the globe throughout history. They provide a hedge against inflation.
2. Self-Regulation: A gold standard self-regulates to match the supply of money to the need for it. Creating more currency requires obtaining more gold, which raises gold’s market price and stimulates increased mining.
3. Economic Growth: Over the 179 years the United States was on some form of a gold or metallic standard (1792-1971), the economy grew an average of 3.9% each year.
4. Reduced Risk of Economic Crises: A gold standard would reduce the risk of economic crises and recessions, while increasing income levels and decreasing unemployment rates.
Cons of Gold and Silver Standard:
1. Limitations on Monetary Flexibility: A gold standard would limit the ability of the Federal Reserve to help the economy out of recessions and depressions, and to address unemployment.
2. Vulnerability to Fluctuations: The availability and value of gold and silver fluctuate and do not provide the price stability necessary for a healthy economy.
3. Historical Instances of Abandonment: There have been historical instances where the gold and silver standard was abandoned.
In conclusion, while the gold and silver standard has its advantages, it also comes with significant drawbacks. Therefore, careful consideration is needed before making such a decision.
The U.S. Treasury owns approximately 261.5 million troy ounces of gold. The book value of this gold is listed at approximately $11,041,059,957.46.
As for silver, the U.S. government, including the Department of Defense, the Department of Energy, the Department of Interior, and the U.S. Geological Survey, stopped reporting on silver inventories around the 1995-1996 timeframe. Therefore, the exact amount of silver currently held by the U.S. Treasury is not publicly available. However, it’s worth noting that the U.S. is significantly import-reliant for its silver needs, importing 6,500 metric tons of silver in 2021.

A carbon tax is a fee levied on the carbon emissions produced from goods and services. It’s designed to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by increasing the price of fossil fuels, thereby decreasing demand for high-emission goods and services and incentivizing less carbon-intensive production.
Key points about carbon tax include:
It’s usually charged per ton of greenhouse gas emissions.
It targets fossil fuels that release carbon dioxide when they burn, primarily coal, oil, and natural gas.
As of 2019, carbon taxes have been implemented or are scheduled for implementation in 25 countries.
46 countries have put some form of price on carbon, either through carbon taxes or carbon emission trading schemes.
Carbon taxes can negatively affect the welfare of people, especially poorer people, by making their consumption more expensive.
Policymakers can try to redistribute the revenue generated from carbon taxes to low-income groups to make the tax fairer.
Many economists argue that carbon taxes are the most efficient way to tackle climate change.
However, governments often hesitate to implement a carbon tax due to its potential impact on the welfare of poorer people and the political difficulty of adopting new taxes. Despite these challenges, carbon taxes are seen as a crucial tool in limiting carbon emissions and combating climate change.
The revenue generated by a carbon tax can vary greatly depending on the tax rate and the scope of emissions it covers. Here are some estimates:
A carbon tax levied on all energy-related carbon emissions at a rate of $50 per metric ton and an annual growth rate of 5 percent would generate $1.87 trillion in additional federal revenue over the next 10 years.
A tax of $49 per metric ton of carbon dioxide could raise about $2.2 trillion in net revenues over 10 years from 2019 to 2028.
A broad-based carbon tax starting at $25 per ton in 2023 and rising at 2 percent more than inflation would have raised more than $750 billion over its first decade.
Globally, revenues from carbon taxes and Emissions Trading Systems (ETS) have reached a record high, about $95 billion.
These estimates illustrate the potential for a carbon tax to generate substantial revenue. However, the actual revenue would depend on various factors, including the specific design of the tax, the responsiveness of consumers and producers to the tax, and the overall state of the economy. It’s also important to note that the primary goal of a carbon tax is to reduce carbon emissions, not to raise revenue. Any revenue generated is often used to offset the economic impact of the tax, particularly on low-income households, or to fund other government programs.

Here's some "food" for thought: While the world wastes about 2.5 billion tons of food every year, the United States discards more food than any other country in the world: nearly 60 million tons - 120 billion pounds - every year. That's estimated to be almost 40 percent of the entire US food supply, and equates to 325 pounds of waste per person. Since 1913 when the Fed begin, Americans have Spent $86.4 Trillion into Circulation on Food which amounts to $34 Trillion in Debt from Waste that left the Economic System.
