We need a financial statement for the government, collective institutions, collective manufacturers, and collective individuals in per capita terms, so that everyone will know how unstable the world is and if there are dangerous trends. Obviously if there is enough debt, interest will consume all resources and there will be a catastrophe. Other trends such as the remaining oil, coal, ores, ocean biomass, ... etc. or increasing carbon dioxide, methane, ... etc. should be reported on. Projections to catastrophe will be invaluable to anyone making long term plans. We shoul not rely on a succession of new wonders. We do not need to repeat the dark ages that persisted from the depletion of silver to the invention of steam engines to pump out the mines. We do need to see what is needed to institute reform, first by looking at examples, e.g. RICO, Glen Murray in Winnipeg, ... , and extending the ideas to the banks, government, industry, and individuals. In the past in the banks and politics the most reckless people got ahead, which led to banking collapse and Blogojevitch. An inspector general for each of the 6994 governmental entities in Illinois would be inefficient, so they should have a uniform method of making all monetary transactions public. In addition, all transactions related to campaign financing should be public. Increased spending should be only for the purpose of being able to pay down the debt to at least stable values. If the economy collapses, it will not generate revenue to pay off the debt. The present downturn can be used to teach people how to be frugal for their own long term benefit, and the idle workforce can be used to economically build infrastructure for a more robust economy in the future. We do not need the government to regulate privately owned space to the extent that it is useless to the owner; however, we do need to regulate big banks and industry that make the banking system unstable and consumer products of short life, no lasting value, and overwhelmingly complex rapair and maintenance.
