We already have a large funding program called taxes. We seem to enjoy giving it to private interests instead of state and local governments directly.

Kind of wondering how, given that direct pipeline of transfer payments from the fed to private companies we can ever believe the “our economics is a free system of ideas.”

Prevent manipulation of the state by prioritizing policing of state acts, not average folks on the street.

Absolutely none of these ideas are new. It’s a fact of our biology that sees us favoring the mental model we know versus the unknown of a new social hierarchy. A reasonable “how to” is well detailed though.

The public must engage the political system directly and not through the business sector administrators inserted in the middle of the process via manipulation of the financial systems flow of capital.

Look what happens when there’s a half assed effort to get something like Obamacare. Imagine if the effort wasn’t so half assed?
