I have some facts for you, ready?

In order to "heal" the economy, a person X must KNOW certain information about other people, say A and B.

For instance, suppose A is trying to sell a camel to B. A knows how much A paid for the camel in the first place, but B doesn't know. Let's assume A paid less for the camel than he's willing to sell it to B for (otherwise, why would he be selling the camel?) A doesn't want to tell B how much A paid in the first place otherwise B will go somewhere else looking for a better price.

B presumably knows what he's ultimately willing to pay for the camel, but doesn't want to tell A right away, but he wants to probe A's mind with some trial offers like 1/4 of what he's ultimately willing to pay.

It's just like a game of cards. You don't tell the other guys exactly what you're thinking. This is called "negotiation." It's fundamental to the economy. When people aren't willing to negotiate, or not willing to sell, or not willing to buy, then there is NO economy.

OK, for X to "fix" this transaction and make it FAIR and CLEAN, X must know what A is thinking and what B is thinking and make trial proposals to get them to trade, maybe. This is called "mediation" or "arbitration" or "facilitation" or "brokering" or etc. etc.

X must be there for EVERY transaction in the economy if X is going to fix the economy.

The Anointed One is infinitely intelligent and he is infinitely capable, so OF COURSE he will be there to fix EVERY SINGLE transaction in the economy. Just like Mao before him, and Stalin before him, and just like all the Pharoahs of Egypt, and just like Nimrod, the worlds very first infinitely intelligent king.

We are so blessed.

Obama /economy /GM? are you listening?

thanks reb..great thoughtful comment!! melinda from our gang just thought, that when Obam restores the draft to provide the new govmint jobs, he can make sure each one gets a GM Car..the rest should be raffled off..GM..are you listening..i would pay 5.00 each week for a chance on a new SUV ! Bring out the old unsold models..Raffle them off!! a hundred a week...they would raise millions, and repay THE GUVMINT!!AND SINCE OBAMA IS "GIVING TAX CUTS TO 95%...{" THO" 50% OF FOLKS DON'T PAY INCOME TAXES} ..WELL...HE COULD JUST BUY THEM A CAR, INSTEAD OF SENDING MONEY!!THIS WOULD rescue GM, KEEP UAW MEMBERS EMPLOYED.., REWARD THE 50% OF NON PAYING TAX FOLKS WHO CAN'T MANAGE $ WELL ENOUGH TO EARN ENOUGH TO BUY CARS, AND ... SAVE BIG BUCKS ON THE DEBIT. EVERY ONE WINS!!
