Supporting Legislation

E-mail Print PDF

In addition to the amendment of the US Constitution much supporting legislation and supporting acts will be needed from Congress, state legislatures, local governmental units, newly created community governments, and the many legislative bodies and directorships of government chartered entities. These legislative proposals are more a wireframe of what is needed. Involving many new voices in the deliberation will render the many intricate details of these proposals and offer other alternatives to better accomplish the same ends.

  1. Enabling Legislation for New Federal Agencies
    1. Credit Union of the United States: to provide insured deposit public savings options, routine consumer and business lending, student loans, lending to governmental units, and mortgage lending (routine lending refers to lending that is non-project-dependent but instead merely based on the creditworthiness of the borrower; other lending will continue to occur through decentralized institutions including for-profit financial intermediaries).
    2. National Credit Bureau: as a subordinate bureau to the Credit Union of the United States, to provide a unified storehouse for credit history incident reporting for use by private ratings agencies and to act as the ratings agency to determine creditworthiness for lending by the Credit Union of the United States according to Congressional directives.
    3. Office of Intellectual Products: within the US Department of Commerce, manages federal intellectual property interests, provides an intellectual product repository for freely licensed federal and others’ intellectual property and public domain intellectual products, and engages in internal and contracted intellectual production to complement and bring to fruition gaps in other independently developed freely licensed and public domain intellectual products, in order to enhance our common national treasury of intellectual products.
    4. US Department of Risk Management: to provide risk management services to federal government by identifying, quantifying, and measuring risks and various contingencies of concern (including risks of insurrection and invasion), provide advice on managing adverse incentive and adverse selection in governmental programs, and also provide public insurance options for most customary risk funds and lightweight administration to all subordinate jurisdictions and government chartered entities for their risk management needs.
    5. US Bureau of Market Clearing: within the new Credit Union of the United States, replaces the Federal Reserve, and provides various monetary, electronic transaction, and other commerce support systems including electronic transaction infrastructures like ACH™, Visa™, Mastercard™, Paypal™, Paytrust™, and such – with all power over originating and retiring money in the hands of Congress and thus ending private privileged creation of money both through fractional reserve lending and by the Federal Reserve banking cartel.
    6. US Department of Elections and Campaign Support: To provide supervision of all public elections in the US, coordinate equitable access to constrained and contended telecommunication networks, and provide both in-kind and funding supports for all ballot-qualified election campaigns in the United States.
    7. US Department of Interior’s new Bureau of Resource Extraction: provides extraction and minimal homogenization processing of natural resources through a combination of internal staff or, whenever possible, through competitively bid private contracts; and also conducts regular public auctions for those extracted and suitably homogenized resources (such as hydrocarbons, timber, metals, and minerals).
    8. Expansion of the duties of the Department of Transportation’s Federal Railroad Administration to administer the interstate railway system and provide rail traffic controllers to schedule and control freight and passenger haulers on the interstate railway system and even to operate passenger and freight rail haulers, especially at those times when demand for passenger or freight hauler traffic on rail lines becomes nearly 100% capacity saturated.
    9. Expansion of the duties of the Department of Energy or the Department of Transportation to assume responsibility for developing and administering an interstate electrical transmission system and assume the responsibilities to administer existing – and develop new – interstate pipelines for oil, natural gas, other fuels, and other gaseous and fluid transport needs.
    10. Expansion of the duties of the Department of Energy to assume the administration of all existing civilian nuclear power plants.
    11. United States Department of Telecommunications: to assume responsibilities for internet backbones, undersea and other international communication cables, authentication and directory services, communication satellites, and wireless cellular and wired digital subscriber services for independent access point service providers and independent phone service providers, as well as fully developing and operating such cellular access point services comprehensively along the interstate highway and interstate railway systems.
    12. United States Department of Armaments: to administer the newly socialized monopoly armament defense contractors: no more war profiteering and the severe corruption that accompanies that profiteering and rent-seeking (one-third of all of the Department of Defense’s over $300 billion in purchases go to only a dozen monopoly armament contractors who sell almost exclusively to the Department of Defense and other government buyers). The department will develop and manufacture armaments in-house though, whenever possible through competitively fungible bids, purchase materials and contract services necessary to produce those armaments. Such armaments can also be made available for private consumer purchases domestically and internationally through sales to foreign nations, foreign corporations, and foreign nationals and US citizens, as directed by Congress in adherence to the Constitution (particularly the Second Amendment guarantee of the right to keep and bear arms within a well regulated militia). Other private armament manufactures will not necessarily be prohibited, but such products will not any more find the same lucrative and non-competivie contracts from the US Department of Defense which instead will rely upon the armaments produced by the United States Department of Armaments.

    3. requirements for large and multi-site government chartered enterprises
    4. requirements for foreign sites of US chartered entities
    5. comprehensive reform trade policy to form a block with trading partners who embrace the same republican governance of enterprise or other aggressive measures to curb involuntary servitude, adversarial work relations, and exploitation and then significantly raise tariffs on the other most favored nation status partners so as not to unduly reward those trading partners whose labor and governance practices prove incompatible with the fundamental principles of the United States
