I've added one part so its 2 of 5 instead of 2 of 4.

 

 

Modern Economics:

Little More Than Theories & Ideology

 

Today’s economic system is surprisingly arbitrary for a society supposedly

dedicated to operating upon the rigors of scientific method. The economic and

political "science" of the modern world is at best "controversial theories."

They too often fail to produce a pre-designated outcome as any real science

can. Worse, there is no one set of rules to follow or by which to measure

progress. For example, something as obvious as good paying jobs - great by

America’s everyday working folks - is viewed with alarm by Wall Street. The

Federal Reserve promptly raises interest rates with the prospect of full

employment.

 

These kinds of differing opinions leave a hodgepodge of ideas rather than a

science. As such, this modern economic system fails to perform even the basic

functions of a science, like the ability to safe-guard against or at least

predict its own periodic melt-downs. Today’s global economic crisis is only

one of many obvious examples. The fact is that much of our policies are based

on little more than the ideology, political philosophy, of the politicians in

office at the time. These ideologies have more to do with tradition and

belief, than they do with science.

 

America’s most common political ideologies are conservative vs. liberal.

Conservatives, primarily identified as Republicans, are viewed as favoring

business and legislated morality. Liberals, the Democrats, are seen as

favoring individual freedom and the concerns of the common man - "the

people." Again, both of these approaches are fairly arbitrary - personal.

Neither has proven the undisputed superior, while the failings of each are

exposed by the other.

 

These differences in ideology create much of the "gray area" in politics

today. ROOPA will standardize this area of government policy into an

easy-to-use, simple-to-measure model of operation. No more guesswork - the

center of most government conflict and corruption. Today’s

"special-interests" extort government favor. Conservatives do so in the name

of business. Liberals do so in the name of the people. Trying to reduce the

power of these "special- interest-groups" has proven futile. ROOPA abolishes

this corruption by simply reducing the government’s authority to play

favorites to special-interest. The grip of special-interest is automatically

reduced with the government’s power to absolve one for their economic damages

to society. ROOPA does this. ROOPA transforms the government’s role from

pardon-at-will autocratic ruler, to accountant of the people. This

effectively abolishes the worse of government bureaucracy, politics and

corruption.
