Global Welfare Crisis

1) Welfare can be a controversial subject.

Controversial, because it involves ethics, government intervention, and justice – all of which are emotionally vibrant areas of societal experience.

2) Welfare involves ethics because some minds contend that government should provide support for those who are at a certain level of need – it is right and ethical for government to be proactive and assist those in need of assistance, rather than allowing them to suffer, by comparison.

3) Welfare involves government intervention because there is a line where proactive, perhaps ethical government support changes into intervention. Welfare as the support appears as a safety net – a foundation for those in certain defined financial circumstances.

Welfare as intervention appears as a mobile and active safety net that wraps people up according to its own will and even when these people are not showing the characteristics that would typically or 'reasonably' require the welfare safety net.

4) Welfare involves justice because some minds contend that the needy should not receive support or assistance, rather all people should left live out their lives – earning returns only on that which they invest – tasting the earned delicacies or the salt of sweat, not nourishing themselves with a free lunch.

Two issues in welfare's involvement with justice are - (1) it can seem unjust that some are earning their bread and others are being given their bread – despite the apparent or reasonable necessity of such action, and (2) it can seem unjust to provide support and assistance because to an extent, this can dim the flame of desire and ambition to create self-sufficiency.

5) Welfare involves ethics, government intervention, and justice, and for these reasons, welfare can be a controversial subject. We have briefly over-viewed the depth of controversy and significance of welfare, touching on it simply.

Global Welfare Crisis focuses on the second and third stars of our glance into the controversy of welfare – government intervention and justice.

6) In a word, we are looking into the possibility of government extending welfare programs and increasing government support – on a global scale.

The question is of how welfare could be used to seize the freedoms of the people in the name of supporting the collective – to what extent could welfare be used as a weapon to help the masses into hegemony?

The second part of this question pertains to the controversy of justice and welfare. We are asking - to what extent could welfare lower the ambitions and aspirations of the people and henceforth, develop government-dependency.

7) The question as a whole concerns the role of welfare programs – nationally through government, and supra-nationally through global organizations such as the International Monetary Fund (loans) and the United Nations – in developing financial globalization, global collectivism (vast government rule over the collective), and a breach in the bellies of ambition for financial self-sufficiency.

8) At the first of this look into Global Welfare Crisis is an image of people feeding ducks – this is symbolic of welfare.

We are asking - to what extent expanding government and extending welfare programs can contribute to the evolution of government feeding the ducks, to force-feeding the ducks, to savoring the melty foie gras, sliding around the government tongue, swimming around the government mouth, and providing further energy to fuel the growing government machine.

For our purposes, the main course feeding the Global Welfare Crisis is not the typical government income-support, food discounts, or healthcare support, for example – the main course, is the loan.

9) Could the power to create currency – governments receiving massive sums of money from the central banking system – be considered a form of welfare, central bank welfare?

10) We outlined in Central Banking Crisis that central banks, although they have control over national money supply, are to a large extent private institutions.

Furthermore, as in the case of the US central banking system, central bank employees are officially not considered government employees.

What's more, it is the government that allows these banks to come into being and the government does indeed have the solid power to remove the largely-private bank from existence.

Would it do so? Why?

11) Generally, it appears at present that government does not wish to remove or fundamentally remold central banks.

Why?

Well, one reason could be that central banks can create currency at will – the gods of money – and government, through the central bank (CBnk), has access to money that taxes, commerce, and exports could not rival – both in amount and ease of acquisition.

12) Welfare.

Welfare, in simple terms, is a gift of energy, typically financial energy.

13) Could you consider this – you are government and can receive mountains of money from the central bank and although you are technically borrowing this money, you only repay a small percentage – would this be a form of welfare?

14) Consider then that you, seek to grow your power and influence – like many components of the universe.

You have access to power. You have access to influence, do you not? You have access to money.

15) Could you, perhaps, expand your governmental power and influence by supporting your citizens to a greater degree?

16) Could you, perhaps, expand your governmental power and influence by spreading your money, supporting your citizens in lieu of your citizens supporting themselves by extending your welfare and giving massive gifts of money?

17) To an extent, it appears governments are testing these questions through experimentation in the field.

18) The central banking system are now supporting nations around the globe with billions of financial energy – decades worth of debt – a wealth of welfare.

19) The CBnk financial support is distributed by the receiving governments and what began as welfare from the CBnk, is divided and passed on as welfare from the government – through government spending for government, thereby increasing government power to support or rule the masses, or through government spending for the people, thereby increasing the possibility of the masses developing government-dependence.

20) In the United States, the government, which is a partner of the US central bank, is one of the largest employers in the nation. The US government is swallowing real estate through programs such as Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.

In addition to increasingly providing the necessities of employment and shelter to the masses of the United States, the government is also assuming the role to food provider.

Matt compares the US empire to the Roman empire before its descent into the dark ages and similar to Emperor Diocletian's gifts of wheat to the Roman people, Dill foresees the US government supplying one out of every three Americans with food stamps.

The US government is growing.

21) Around the 1970s, Japan's welfare programs began to implode. In the 1960s, there were ten workers in Japan's Ministry of Welfare per one retiree and it is projected that by 2025 there could be only two workers per retiree.

From the 1970s to the early 2000s, Japanese welfare costs relative to income have increased by four times.

Niall Ferguson, Professor at Harvard Business School, explains:

“Today, virtually all of Japan's health insurance societies are in deficit and the pension funds, are nearly out of money too. Japan's once-so-super welfare state is threatening to bankrupt the nation.”

Ferguson comments further on the nature of welfare:

“By the later nineteenth century...a feeling began to grow that life's losers deserved better. The seeds began to be planted of a new approach to the problem of risk – one that would ultimately grow into the welfare state...

We tend to think of the welfare state...as a socialist...invention...[though it was not] a creation of the Left; rather the opposite [- Otto von Bismarck of the Right].

The aim of Otto von Bismarck's social insurance legislation, as he himself put it in 1880, was 'to engender in the great mass of the unpropertied the conservative state of mind that springs from the feeling of entitlement to a pension'...[although] To the surprise of his liberal opponents, Bismarck openly acknowledged that this was 'a state-socialist idea! The generality must undertake to assist the unpropertied.'

But his motives were far from altruistic. 'Whoever embraces this idea', he observed, 'will come to power'...

Our basic human urge to protect ourselves against risk, has proved frustratingly difficult to satisfy...[a fact we are reminded of as] welfare states sink into insolvency.”

22) Governments, including the United States and other developed nations, are carrying out international welfare programs by gifting developing nations around the globe with growth-and-reconstruction loans administered by the International Monetary Fund.

23) What could we be seeing?

24) It so appears at present that we could be seeing – The Welfare of Nations.

25) From military dictatorships to democratic dictatorships to fascist corpornations, private (and government) control of money power through central banks seems to be inspiring the passage government and supranational gifts of financial energy – thus, possibly contributing to the development of global socialism or 'collectivism' as well as a decline in individual self-sufficiency – being helped into hegemony.

26) We have mentioned that the government intervention and justice involved with welfare can season it with controversy; furthermore, as the financial gifts grace the globe – breeding dependency in some areas and discontent over the degree of personal freedom in some other areas – the bubbling of global protest and chaos may be a reflection of global welfare crisis.

27) Further, what can be a looming effect of The Welfare of Nations? Rampant inflation.

Continuous currency creating to fund a wealth of welfare can stretch money supply well-beyond sustainable levels – which can offer additional opportunity for government support in the event of crisis or its preceding condition – volatile inflation.

28) Stemming from the power of central banks and financing the desire to expand government influence – The Welfare of Nations can possibly be developing into wide-spreading collectivism and run-away inflation.

29) If I would like to decline or supplement government gifts and finance myself with inflows from my business, what is one simple and easy way could I realize greater financial independence?
