Political Reform Wishlist

I'm getting into more and more political discussions especially with all the GOP debates.
Just FYI: I think most of the culture war between conservatives and liberals, rich and poor, socialists and libertarians is completely fabricated for political marketing efforts.  But here's my wishlist for politics:

1. SuperVoucher: Convert all social spending programs on retirement, healthcare, education, student loans into one large simple safety net fund.  Basically give every American an account to spend the money however they need to.

The catch: however you spend the money is public knowledge from the instant you swipe the debit card. If you bought pot in Colorado, or a prosthetic leg overseas, or food at a grocery store with your share of the safety net fund it's public knowledge.  Stock investors could use the data for updating stock predictions.  Universities could use the info  for Economic research. CDC could track purchases of medicine to respond early to flu outbreaks.

The Hope: Americans would spend it on stuff that creates a lot of value for themselves and their community.  Instead of creating bubbles in college debt people could use to fund a small business or franchise that or turn their backyard into a farm. It's Trickle Down Theory for everybody.
Design Benefits: everyone gets the same flat amount regardless of age, criminal record, taxes paid, income level.  For the upper middle class/ rich this would basically seem like a rebate on taxes paid.  There would not be any bureaucratic mess or waste or political maneuvering on who gets the voucher.   We could banish unsustainable spending programs, leverage the benefits of Big Data, get rid of government slowdown and waste.


The Risks: People would forget to save their SuperVoucher for healthcare expenses.  Heroin addicts probably don't care about public shame enough to avoid spending their SuperVoucher on heroin.


2. Replace the FDA with mandatory product liability insurance. The problem of getting useful drugs approved takes over a decade and billions in investment.  The cost of inaction for many delayed drugs far exceeds the cost of approving a drug with side effects for some people.  An insurance company would have to balance the risk of future lawsuits with the profit opportunity of a new drug.  The Hope: the insurance company would research and vet drugs more efficiently than FDA. They would balance the creation of a portfolio of drugs.

3. Completely Decriminalize drug usage.  Treat addicts instead of incarcerating.
Benefits: reduced prison populations.  It would be cheaper to get people the help they need rather than.
 No more civil forfeiture of goods for

Merry Christmas! Grandma is gonna love this....

As I wait semi-patiently for my visa to Brazil, watching myself slip into mediocrity once again, I decided to fast from movies, tv, and junk food until Christmas. It was a huge step in the right direction otherwise life was going to end up like this: I've been keeping myself busy with developing http://www.ywamva.org . Everything about their site looks the same as before but everything is now managed with blogger.com like my website. Stupid paypal donation button still isn't working, though. sigh.... I've also been doing some last minute video editing for them. I might upload it to Google Video, but I have to warn you, it's a 14 minute long inside joke mocking YWAM staff. I've concluded that acting is still more fun than editing films mainly because I'm not a walking database of catchy songs like most of my peers are. This whole fasting from media and jund food has mandated lots of creative alternatives for these cold dark nights.... like play with the new dog A...
