People I care for every day can’t see the pathway to their groceries for next week. Who will feed their children while the economists solve the energy problem?

Our government is Constitutionally mandated to create and distribute money "for the general welfare" (Article 1: Section 8). I'm pretty sure that feeding and housing the people would fall into that category.

We have, however, been conditioned to a false economy centered around the market and its status quo that limits Congress to specific dollar amounts that are related to the amount of "revenue" it can achieve to maintain the money supply as a constant. To provide for one requires taking from another in such a system, which is completely false in our fiat monetary system.

My point is that it is the false assumptions rampant in our economic worldview that are creating the misery that could be easily mitigated. These false assumptions have been largely the product of ignorance, but they also greatly benefit capital so they are perpetuated as a way to keep our government from fulfilling its mandate fully.

Once we realize that "ANY" suffering that can be mitigated by money creation is entirely a political decision, not sound economics, we can begin to hold our representatives liable for that. If you, as a voter, know that a need exists and the method of satisfying that need also exists you will force your representatives to do the job they campaigned for.
