Organizing for Needed Change

If We The People want to effectively reverse and eliminate the cyclical crisis we are now experiencing, not only is trickle-down economics an empirically disconfirmed hypothesis that demands much-needed change, but the organized consolidation of the economy that it operates to produce and maintain demands change as well.

We see the congressional delegaton attempting to apply solutions to our economic woes that are the problem. It can hardly be characterized as "change we need."

From the price of commodities to the way public and private entities plan what we produce, the problem is organizational.

Bailing out what is "too big to fail" just perpetuates the problem--too big to fail--and effectively validates the "belief" that it is the model of efficiency when it is a hypothesis clearly disconfirmed by the evidence (massive unemployment and massive monetary support).

The massive monetary support will not reorganize the problem. It will provide a short term monetary stimulus that will forget the cause of the problem--the acquired belief that bigger is better, or most efficient.

The evidence that it is not is overwhelming!

Organizing for the consolidation of the political economy, for the consolidation of power, is the status quo ante, not change we need.

Instead of a point at which change is to naturally occur for a continuous, empirical improvement, our current crisis is being used to reinvent the problem into a confirmed consolidation of practical power that allows for elitist command and control of our political economy and for a continued false self-determination of The People.

If we do not reinvest, reorganize, consolidation of economic factors into small factors of manageable efficiencies that are quickly responsive to supply and demand costs and benefits and the tastes and preferences of the consumer (the public) with an equally quick accountability, the public is condemned to elite management of the political economy that in no way ensures a rational, objective, pragmatic decisional process that the collective will of The People is most apt to provide with a clearly verifiable legitimacy.

It is not impossible, and surely more possible and less complex than what we are doing now, to invest a small entrepreneurial economic system in which the stabilty of the system is not dependant, and therefore less apt to be corrupt, abusive and inefficient, if the failure of one industry or market entity does not condemn the entire system to short or long-term cyclical crisis.

Instead of how big you are being the measure of success, surviving the pluralism of the free marketplace is the measure of success.

Allowing for organized consolidation renders as the measure of success how corrupt and abusive a business can be and still stay in business (like securitizing--consolidating--debt obligations too big to let fail and impossible to renegotiate so that the debtor must fail and the lender must be bailed out). The abuse includes the margin of profit (inflation and unemployment to be managed politically) and a decisional process that leads to clearly verfied inefficiencies of current form that are shown to be difficult at best to reverse even with the force of public funding and authority. Reversing this measure of success is the change we need, and is entirely possible.

More than $2 trillion of monetary and fiscal stimulus (investment) is best spent to pluralize (deconsolidate) the economy, and power. The reason this alternative is ignored if not discouraged is because it will effectively cure what ails us. It will minimize the probability of crisis by not maintaining a consolidated model of power in which its huge costs are rendered a predictable, recurrent benefit of a power elite and a means to apply power rather than properly deny it.

Instead of denying access to power the inefficiencies of aspiring to be big enough to be corrupt and abusive, what access to financing provides and largely determines, the rigors of pluralism are discouraged for a systematic structure of power in which the pursuit of life, liberty and happiness is largely the discretion of a ruling class, enforced by the self-determination of the masses to be in service to it. It is antithetical to a structural model for freedom, morality, and efficiency.

Maintaining the model we have now is to commit to a proven model for encouraging inefficiency, immorality and a lack of freedom that interact to be a cause for crisis and, historically, acquiesence to an elitist model that cyclically reinforces and reinvents itself. An elitist model always deliberately discourages the natural tendency for a peaceful and prosperous pluralism. It cultivates and ensures its succession with the promise of a short-term comfort and security that assures the probability of an insecure future.

Invest pluralism of the marketplace in priority, not its continued consolidation as we are determined to do now despite the domonstrable political will for "change we need."
