THE FINAL ECONOMIC SOLUTION (WHITEPAPER)

The Think Tank at iBankCoin for Economic Studies and Foreign Relations, in conjunction with The Grande Recursive Order of the Knights of the Lambda Calculus, puts forth the following policies that will solve the global financial crisis, which is plaguing governments and citizens alike.

The current policy of plugging holes is only staving off inevitable sovereign defaults, instead of eliminating it. We propose central banks should buy ALL OF THE SOVEREIGN DEBT, through the explicit activation of the printing press, then forgive that debt in order to allow governments to spend liberally for as long as they deem fit.

If you are a bank or a sovereign government in possession of Greek debt, the ECB will buy your debt for 100 cents on the dollar, with the creation of “CURRENCY BALLS” to be shipped to your office or wherever you might be domiciled.

If you are an investment manager at Socgen or the government of Germany and receive one of these in the mail, just know it is worth $1 trillion dollars. This is LEGAL TENDER and can be exchanged for smaller balls ($100 billion, $50 billion and $10 billion increments) at any bank in the world, for discretionary usuage.The gist of this plan is to “create jobs” through aggressive monetary easing. Instead of having to deal with the annoying budgetary restraints that debt imposes on sovereign governments, the Think Tank at iBankCoin for Economics Studies and Foreign Relations strongly recommends the creation of giant balls to be denominated in $1 trillion increments to eliminate any and all debt, for as long as governments deem fit.

Under this policy, we project Greece will be debt free, and in the black, as early as next week.

    The world suffers from a gigantic math problem. Unfortunately, the solution will most likely involve bloodshed.

      But it doesn’t have to.

      Fly’s solution makes a certain amount of sense. Money is in many ways just an illusion. Why let it keep governments or people from doing useful things? Why let it keep people from having jobs?

      Just make a lot of silver balls that give everyone permission to do a lot of constructive things, and then go do them. No whining about “We can’t afford it.” If it needs to be done, just go do it.

        If money is an illusion (and certainly paper money is just that) it needs to be that much more of a credible illusion.

        I’m afraid that le Monsieur’s solution– while hilarious and true satire that closes in on the Swiftian– will not provide the credibility our illusory money requires.

      Carlo- I think the problem itself is not gigantic, but rather the scale of the end result.

      What is this? A web site where someone writes fictional fantasy stories, using famous characters who really exist in the real world?

      Is there some point to this? Is it just a joke aimed at the “I read it on the Inernet so it must be true” crowd?

    The kind folks at iBC should receive a small 0.0002% commission on said balls as a small tribute to their fine intellect.

    However, I believe iBC would prefer their little balls to be of 24k gold variety.

    Don’t we want soverign nations to all go bust and default so private investors have no where to go but OUT of public debt and INTO stocks, thus stimulating the economy?

    Stocks would go para ball ic

      of course, the volatility would be absolutely horrendous because the normal consumers would not receive government cheese to be able to consume, and the big businesses dependent upon government aid like the entire military defense contractors would be dead…. and then it might be difficult for the US to secure the oil supply without tanks…

      here’s another solution everyone is forced to spend 100% of their income every month. This will make things keep moving at all times! then we can do the trippl ball plan and mix it and make sure to get a huge bubble so people are paying $1000 for beanie babies and shit. Why not? inject the economy with monopoly money and shit. YAY! problem solved

    Thats exactly QE. Only they used US$. That’s what they are doing when they say injecting liquidity. It’s the reverse Robin Hood in action. They are steeling from you while you sleep.

    A month ago I watched a French finance minister talk about the terrible debt crises countries around the world are facing at this moment. There he was in all of his splendid glory wearing a silk suit sitting in a Louie the 14th chair with gilded woodwork and tapestries in the background. His answer to the problem is simple, and I paraphrase “there is no sense in using austerity measures to solve this debt crises as this would cause such consternation amongst the population that it would make everyone very unhappy”. In other words, keep spending, let someone else pay for it…

    The economies of the world have become so intermingled that we are doomed to repeat these cycles. Irrational exuberance will once again take hold and bring forth a boom or “bubble” then POP. Everyone pretends like they didn’t see it coming. Learn the cycle, profit from said cycle.

    Worse come to worse, there are the balls…… :/
