Tim, I have voiced the same concern in the past. What I would like to see is
an extrapolation of National Financial Statements projected over a five-year
period to see what would be the actual effect upon:
The internal banking industry.
The National GDP
The International Trade Agreements.
The Balance of Payments position.
There may be other relevant factors.
Without some such analyses we are in the position of a drug company placing on
the market an anti-retroviral drug without adequate research into all
possible negative side-effects.
I love the idea of Social Credit, but we can't go at it blindly.
Jessop.
