I want the world to be better for everyone

I'm an economist. Now I hate economics. Don't get me wrong: it's why I am the way I am, and for that I'm thankful. Problem is this field is the study of limited resources. And this definition flies in the face of the one resource on our planet that has no limit - us. And that's only 1 unlimited resource! I want to harness these unlimited resources, because it will mean "standards of living" are also unlimited - to us! And that will mean the greed will go away. Nothing to do but blog.

Presidential Election Campaign Fund $1

Wiki it for starters. It's a no-brainer.

Only a few changes I'd make to the fund:

1. ALL federal elections,

2. minimum SIGNATURES, not DOLLARS! The no-brainer part. It never has been and never shall be "one dollar, one vote" on my watch! If we need an explicit Constitutional Amendment to clarify this (as if not clear enough already!!!), fine!

3. SOLE SOURCE OF CAMPAIGN FUNDS! "Single-payer" elections, if you will. Like magic (well, I'm an economist, so it's certainly not magic to me: SCIENCE, I call it), the market becomes the BUYER'S (we the taxpayers), rather than the SELLER'S (the media, that has, for years, enjoyed candidates tripping over one another to "bid up" THEIR ads!!)

Did I mention this was a no-brainer?
