The Prosperity Mandate: A Sustainable Economic Recovery Plan

Barack Obama ascended to the Office of the President of the United States due to his incredible perseverance - and BRILLIANT INNOVATION.  Having secured the highest office the focus has now shifted to creating a sustainable economic recovery.  The number one question growing in intensity, volume and magnitude is - How are you going to fund all these wonderful agendas?

Look to the history of the election.  Thinking “outside the box” Team Obama went to the least likely and most underrated source for funding, a populous movement based on small (by traditional political contribution standards almost miniscule) contributions by millions of donors.  This brilliant innovation provided for an involvement and co-ownership of the process that set a new bar for campaigns.  Now is the time to apply this same brilliant innovation to a new monetary policy that funds a sustainable economic recovery and beyond.  This would also address the question, “Mr. President, what are you asking the American public to do”?

Does it seem odd that as a nation, we need to turn to a notorious bank robber (or at least the quote attributed to him) to find the answer and key to a sustainable economic recovery?

When asked why he robs banks, Willie Sutton, famed bank robber, replied, “Well, that is where the money is!”  This quote has become a shorthand reference applied from engineering to business models.  The message is to first look for the OBVIOUS solution, and worry about more complex ones later.

Where is the money? In the United States there is currently (approximately) $4 Trillion sitting in Money Market Funds and another $65+ Trillion in diverse forms of Net Worth.   Perhaps it is time for the Obama Administration to take advice from Willie Sutton - Tap into where the money is!

Thank goodness someone of the stature and sophistication of John K. Galbraith is identifying the terrible short fall of the current plans for an economic recovery.  Although he is not yet familiar with our program, he has essentially identified and is calling for a Monetary Policy as set forth by The Prosperity Mandate.

Read his article at:
http://www.washingtonmonthly.com/features/2009/0903.galbraith.html

and then take action on this site to ask your President, Senator, and Representative to study the Monetary Policy for a sustainable and renewable economic recovery.

Except from his excellent article:

Barack Obama’s presidency began in hope and goodwill, but its test will be its success or failure on the economics. Did the president and his team correctly diagnose the problem? Did they act with sufficient imagination and force? And did they prevail against the political obstacles—and not only that, but also against the procedures and the habits of thought to which official Washington is addicted?

The president has an economic program. But there is, so far, no clear statement of the thinking behind that program, and there may not be one, until the first report of the new Council of Economic Advisers appears next year. We therefore resort to what we know about the economists: the chair of the National Economic Council, Lawrence Summers; the CEA chair, Christina Romer; the budget director, Peter Orszag; and their titular head, Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner. This is plainly a capable, close-knit group, acting with energy and commitment. Deficiencies of their program cannot, therefore, be blamed on incompetence. Rather, if deficiencies exist, they probably result from their shared background and creed—in short, from the limitations of their ideas.

Here is the missing piece to the Obama recovery plan and stimulus package: rocket fuel for the economic engine.  Fund America as proposed by The Prosperity Mandate creates 5 Million jobs in 18 months.  This plan provides for $1 Trillion cash infusion into the banking system and on into the economy with NOT $1.00 of direct government funding.  The Fund America plan is budget neutral and is the first sustainable and renewable stimulus plan ever!
