Dear @practicalthought, please forgive me for referring you to a post of my own. I am doing this for people like the Vets and millions, if not billions of others cheated by the system as it is.
I honestly think this is the best way to solve this problem. I further believe that it is possible to make it work with the help of blockchain technology - all it needs is a team of technically and economically virtuous people to set it up. It would be wonderful if guys with your passion for the purpose could promote the development of it by resteeming and making the right kind of possible participants aware of it. I am working on follow-ups to further embroider on how it can be done.
I appreciate your enthusiasm. I am ignorant of the blockchains however, and am not convinced that they are being used against us due to the permanency of the records coupled with the measurement of value being the currency of the corrupt. I wish you well with your project and hope it will be what you are envisioning.
Thanks.
In a practical sense, the idea is to decouple the value of the currency used to trade real goods and services from speculative currency bargaining markets in general. You may find this successful experimental marketing facility interesting in this regard.
A currency with a constant value relative to real production costs will make it easier providing every individual with a constant purchasing power just big enough to guarantee freedom. This can only be done with certain constraints imposed, but it is possible.
