Has beens all! <There are no FDRs, JFKs, George Marshalls, Alexander Hamiltons, Geo. Washingtons, Lincolns, etc., on the horizon. >

Ahem! It's true, I'm over the horizon, but I'd be happy to take it on for you. I'm over the horizon but certainly not as far over the hill as those guys.

Grangrene is not quite the same as, or even faintly similar to, a financial relativity theory monetary mess.

Here's the plan.

First of all, there'd be no bail outs until the shareholders were down to their last few $millions of market capitalisation at which time the creditors would be invited to accept 10c on the dollar or they could take over the company themselves and see how they get on. If the creditors accepted, then We the Sheeple would take over, [assuming it looked as though the company would then be a going concern].

Second, there'd be a giant tax cut.

Third, all the CO2 expenditure would cease immediately [maybe some research could continue to completion but the big jamborees would be over].

Fourth, there would be lots of government spivs and kleptocrats redeployed to jobs more suited to their talents.

Fifth, 10,000 USA tradable citizenships would go on the block to be sold to the highest bidders. Maybe 100,000 a year would be sold. No more citizenships for illegal immigrants or anyone else for that matter. If they want one, they could get their money out. If they don't have money, they could get lost or get a sponsor who might lease one to them.

Sixth, I'd have a nice cup of tea and ponder my next move.
