Economist Milton Friedman and taking the USA Dollar and Canadian Dollar to Par Value Deliberately?

If you do a search for Dr. Cindy Jacobs "Word for Canada 2018" you will find a message that she gives in which she predicts that the USA and Canadian dollars will go to par value.

My background is a little different than hers and so I have been thinking and thinking and thinking and praying about all of this and now I finally feel ready to present a thesis from logic that the key to addressing many of the problems facing Canada and the USA and all Christians is to take another look at the writings of Economist Milton Friedman and begin to research and pray about the possible ways that taking the USA and Canadian dollars to par value could be a win, win, win, win, win scenario for three hundred and forty million Americans as well as for forty one million Canadians.

I will soon give you a link into the a summary of the book "Capitalism and Freedom" by Economist Milton Friedman that I believe should be researched and certainly prayed about.

x. The Distribution of IncomeFriedman examines the progressive income tax, introduced in order to redistribute income to make things more fair, and finds that, in fact, the rich take advantage of numerous loopholes, nullifying the redistributive effects. It would be far more fair just to have a uniform flat tax with no deductions, which could meet the 1962 tax revenues with a rate only slightly greater than the lowest tax bracket at that time.

xi. Social Welfare MeasuresThough well-intentioned, many social welfare measures don't help the poor as much as some think. Friedman focuses on Social Security as a particularly large and unfair system.

xii. Alleviation of PovertyFriedman regarded welfare programs as misguided and inefficient. To replace them, he advocates a negative income tax, giving everyone a guaranteed minimum income.

xiii. ConclusionThe conclusion to the book centers on how, time and time again, government intervention often has an effect opposite of that intended. Most good things in the United States and the world come from the free market, not the government, and they will continue to do so. The government, despite its good intentions, should stay out of areas where it does not need to be.

To a degree are the problems facing Canada, the USA and all nations partly the result of God's own people being less than well informed?

Yes!

"You stumble day and night,
and the prophets stumble with you.
So I will destroy your mother—
6 my people are destroyed from lack of knowledge.
“Because you have rejected knowledge,
I also reject you as my priests;
because you have ignored the law of your God,
I also will ignore your children." [Hosea 4:5, 6]

By 1990 I had been a praying Christian for ten to fifteen years. by that time I had been studying the Bible for eighteen years but I realized that there were some serious gaps and flaws in my understanding of certain topics and doctrins and subjects.

I actually got angry with Messiah Yeshua - Jesus over what I was finding out but I went directly to Him and I prayed and I literally stuck my right hand up in the air and I quoted Isaiah chapter forty five and I raised my voice and I pleaded with Messiah Yeshua - Jesus to lead me and guid me and show me the errors in my thinking so that I would not lead others astray as I myself had been led astray.

I can guarantee you if you will do this yourself in your own way you will begin to be shown your own types of misunderstanding that is causing you to be less effective for Messiah Yeshua - Jesus than He wants you to be.

Isaiah 45:
“This is what the Lord says to his anointed,
to Cyrus, whose right hand I take hold of
to subdue nations before him
and to strip kings of their armor,
to open doors before him
so that gates will not be shut:
2 I will go before you
and will level the mountains[a];
I will break down gates of bronze
and cut through bars of iron.
3 I will give you hidden treasures,
riches stored in secret places,
so that you may know that I am the Lord,
the God of Israel, who summons you by name.
4 For the sake of Jacob my servant,
of Israel my chosen,
I summon you by name
and bestow on you a title of honor,
though you do not acknowledge me.
5 I am the Lord, and there is no other;
apart from me there is no God.
I will strengthen you,
though you have not acknowledged me,
6 so that from the rising of the sun
to the place of its setting
people may know there is none besides me.
I am the Lord, and there is no other.
7 I form the light and create darkness,
I bring prosperity and create disaster;
I, the Lord, do all these things.
8 “You heavens above, rain down my righteousness;
let the clouds shower it down.
Let the earth open wide,
let salvation spring up,
let righteousness flourish with it;
I, the Lord, have created it.
9 “Woe to those who quarrel with their Maker,
those who are nothing but potsherds
among the potsherds on the ground.
Does the clay say to the potter,
‘What are you making?’
Does your work say,
‘The potter has no hands’?
10 Woe to the one who says to a father,
‘What have you begotten?’
or to a mother,
‘What have you brought to birth?’
11 “This is what the Lord says—
the Holy One of Israel, and its Maker:
Concerning things to come,
do you question me about my children,
or give me orders about the work of my hands?
12 It is I who made the earth
and created mankind on it.
My own hands stretched out the heavens;
I marshaled their starry hosts.
13 I will raise up Cyrus[b] in my righteousness:
I will make all his ways straight.
He will rebuild my city
and set my exiles free,
but not for a price or reward,
says the Lord Almighty.”


PLEADING GUILTY AND RECOGNIZING MY OWN FLAWS AND SINS AND SPECIFIC ERRORS TENDS TO GIVE ME THE ABILITY TO ENCOURAGE OTHERS WHO HAVE FALLEN INTO THE SAME PROBLEMS THAT I FELL INTO IN THE PAST!!!!!

I personally believe that this topic can be understood better if you take a look at this other theory that I first began to specifically research in 1994.

In a way though my research into this topic can be taken back to 1979 - '80 when I took Economics 101 from Dr. William Woodfine at St. Francis Xavier University in Antigonish, Nova Scotia.




Here is the related article that was passed to me by a fisherman from Digty, Neck Nova Scotia.


[Melvin Sickler] ....

In 1972, the United States Treasury Department was asked to compute the amount of interest that would have been paid if that 400 million dollars would have been borrowed at interest instead of being issued by Abraham Lincoln. They did some computations, and a few weeks later, the United States Treasury Department said the United States Government saved 4 billion dollars in interest because Lincoln had created his own money.

David Wilkerson....."There will be a sudden rush to buy farms, ranches, and homes in the country.

Thousands will attempt to flee from cities, hoping that a return to the land and

nature will provide security. There will be a growing urge to "get away from it

all"---and much money will be invested in land and acreage in rural areas by

people who have secret dreams of raising their own food and cattle and of

becoming self-supporting. The price of open rural land will continue to soar.

Acreage within 100 miles of most major cities will skyrocket out of reach to

all but syndicates." (David Wilkerson, The Vision, page 18,19).

Pastor David Wilkerson was shown a future that would certainly fit with the implementation of at least one variation on an Unconditional but Taxable Basic Minimum Income.

The shift over to A. I. and robotics that will replace so many jobs may make this one of the only ways to prevent an epidemic of homelessness.

Once Americans and Canadians have their primary homes paid off they will tend to invest in their second home - [cottage outside of cities].
