The new economy planning is on the demand side. It starts at the personal needs, which includes food, clothing, transportation, and ends with shelter and health care. Foods are planned for vertical integration in that industry. From raw foods to cooked recipes in suitable containers, the industry has been improving each year. The idea is to heat foods rather than to cook them at home to save energy and provide choice of tastes. Clothing has been designed in the classic approach for the last six years. Now in this year, it is changing to designs more of a flair. Clothing will have more curvature and perhaps more sexy in the styling. Department store business will be restored for another six years. Transportation in the auto industry is trying the crossover, which is a lower SUV, for ease of entry and exit. Trains and planes are more aerodynamic for lower air resistance to save fuel and run faster. Nose cone redesign is both cheap and simple(starts with a point or a line and stay less than 37 degrees to build up to the full size). Shelters are now built, with larger family in mind, with theater in the home and other conveniences. These new homes will improve standard of living to new heights. Wealth building in 30 years is based on income tax deductions. Health care is now redefined to have maintenance by foods for good health, supplemented with less stress and good sleep. Medical research is now more directed towards DNA restoration[protein encapsulation of virus and bacteria(vitamin B complex); fruits for dilution of fat intake(vitamin C)]than poison immunization, which often has side effects killing people if in use for long periods of time(labels warning of kidney and liver failures). The supply side economy is now mostly to supplement the unemployable, the elderly, and the extreme poor. It is no longer supporting the military and industrial complex(only for readiness not build out or roll out). The military equipment inventory if taken, will reveal the excessive killing power we have already invested over the last 50 years. Some equipment were poorly designed so they are not effective to stop enemy man power(human wave war strategy. Pentagon is advised to take inventory and spend time to develop war strategy with emphasis on mobility of a smaller force(gruerrilla tactics to acquire or remove enemy resources rather than conduct war of attrition). These plans are put in place and the economy will develop in due course. Bigger and better economy($14-$16 trillion), for sure, is the design. Foot note:Foods($3.5 trillion), Clothing($2.5 trillion), transportation($4 trillion), Shelters($2 trillion), Health care($2 trillion), military($0.3 trillion) and other supply side economy(other US government spending $1.3 trillion) are the order of magnitude estimates.
