#7 FDR's four Freedoms

To be clear, I fully support this speech by F.D.R.

In the future days, which we seek to make secure, we look forward to a world founded upon four essential human freedoms.

The first is freedom of speech and expression -- everywhere in the world.

The second is freedom of every person to worship God in his own way -- everywhere in the world.

The third is freedom from want -- which, translated into world terms, means economic understandings which will secure to every nation a healthy peacetime life for its inhabitants -- everywhere in the world.

The fourth is freedom from fear -- which, translated into world terms, means a world-wide reduction of armaments to such a point and in such a thorough fashion that no nation will be in a position to commit an act of physical aggression against any neighbor-- anywhere in the world.

The only addition is that I fully intend to make the future days, now.

#6 Abortion

First I'm a man. I have no control over what a women chooses to do.

That said, I'm Pro-Choice and hope as many as possible women choose Pro-Life.

That's its, really it's not my business. As a plank in my platform, I would leave this up to the wisest women among us.

# 5 Rent based on Mortgages

If a building has been paid for, the tenets of that building should not be charged for a non existent mortgage. For example all building over thirty years old have had the mortgage paid off. The Building owner is taking all the extra income from that building and 1) living off it or 2) using it to as a down-payment to purchase more buildings.

What is bad about this is most of the time it's the least able to pay increased rents that suffer. In many cases Rental prices exceed the price of monthly mortgage payment if only the renter qualified for a loan. To add gasoline to the fire, banks don't lend to people unless they have a 'good' credit rating. Mostly based if you pay your bills on time each month.

This creates a third kind of inflation. Credit inflation. Where banks in essence get to print there own money in the form of the amount of credit they lend out. Taken together, this economic system lead to a amplitude cycle that demands booms and busts. With the wave length of time being determined by how productive we are as a society.

Let it be noted that conversely any building that does have a mortgage will have higher monthly rates. As it should being a modern building.

Note I'm not saying that true maintenance and upgrade costs can not be included in the monthly rent, only that mortgages that have been paid off, should automatically have the rent reduced by that amount.

Which is also the solution.

# 4 Grand Strategy for Earth

1. Grand Strategy for Earth
2.  Build a close to real time social/economic model of the earth. Top level view would be a combination of Google Earth or Orbital views and Victoria or Hearts of Iron, with lower level views of super imposed layers of data sets.
1. Social
1. Demographics similar to Victoria
1. Ability to 'dig in' to data set
2. Use current standards
1. US workforce codes
2. US Medicare/caid, ICD-10, CPT codes
3. any and all other demographic codes
4. 
   
2. Economic
1. Economic model similar to Victoria and Hearts of Iron with total transparency.
2. Realistically, 'Players' can/would need to be set up so that only there data is visible to them.(up to debate right now, I would prefer total transparency.
1. Ability to 'dig in' to data set
2. Use current standards
1. Market places(NY,London, HK, Germany, Chicago, Japan, etc)
2. Company and org transparency
1. all dollars/currency is accounted for
3. US workforce codes
4. US Medicare/caid, ICD-10, CPT codes
5. any and all other demographic codes
3.  Pursue building an organization that would maintain this device.
1. For data sets, need to link to real time data report from various industries to establish incoming data stream. 
2.  this data stream would be parsed to the different levels. Down to the individual level where possible.
3.  Sent up to regional/world data centers
4. Transparent in planetary info viewer. 
5. Where applicable scrubbed of unwanted/private data. 
4. Start by implementing a project in one small town or area
1.  attempt 100% volunteer participation.
1.  Important for long term that most if not all Families in area participate
2.  Important for long term that most if not all civic, business, government, and any other org participate with full knowledge, understanding and acceptance. Use contracts if needed.
2.  project model and new communities would be able to 'plug in' to larger model
5. Why this is not Google Earth or any other data set.
1. Coordinated 
2. Links Money flows to people and orgs

#3 DMV computer driver stimulation qualification skill testing

Every Department of Motor Vehicles should have a computer driver stimulation qualification skill testing machine relative to the number of mean or ave customers they test each within a determined time period(day,month, year). These would be non binding tests. They would only be voluntary and rules, committees, and the public would need full transparent involvement. With Training sessions when and where necessary.

The cost of which is open to debate. I would suggest the license fee.

The run from $500 to $5000.

Each person would get a Race Rating added to their license at the very least.
Reasons:
1) would accurately show the ability of the population skill at driving, by the scores they get in the games
2) The rating or ratings of each game could be added to licenses to show arresting police officers the 'skill' level of the members of an accident. For example, might suggest the driver was racing, or has low ability to drive.
3) I would suggest Forza 4 and Dirt 3 as Games/Simulations that would show levels of skill.

This would:
1) Improve the skill of all drivers
2) Reward good drivers with prestige if nothing else
3) Have the possibility (scientific tests could be done) to cut DMV expenses if real driver education and Driver tests could be eliminated, with the development of real world software applications.

#2 Alcohol consumption be measured

Please note that the number of the the blog does not indicate it's priority or importance had time to post. For instance.
----------------------------------
HITEC ACT
People respect what you inspect.

As part of Meaningful Use. Which you may or may not know is part of the Governments way of checking on your health, and for example, requires doctors to report that they checked your Body Mass Index, blood pressure, and if you smoke or not. As these questions can determine a persons long term health.

Anyway, we call these individual measurements Clinical Quality Measures (CQM).

I propose that the Amount of Alcohol consumption be also measured, and for members of public office the results published.

I have recently heard stories, and there are recognizable signs in a persons facial skin appearance and disposition that they either are drunk or were drunk and have a hangover.

If this person is in a government office or role in which decisions are being made, or even stated, such as a fund raising event, funeral, committee meeting, or really, at any time. They should immediately be escorted to a safe place for detoxification, and treatment.

#1 If I was going to run for elected office, these are my planks

Hi and welcome to my new blog. In it I intend to publish my platform. My ideas on if I was going to run for elected office. For example, a Congressman from Vermont, which is where I live. More correctly stated, a blog where I publish my ideas that directly pertain to the United States of America. So National level only. If you want to visit my blogs on international affairs or other organizations then I will publish a list of them soon. They will get posted faster if there is any requests for that information. Until that time, I will just rant about the USA here. Primarily about Congress, the President and the Organization he 'controls', and the Supreme Court.

My views, concepts, ideas, actions, and what ever else the Government of the USA should and maybe even more importantly should not be doing.
