"I came to the conclusion that there was no way we were going to solve the deficit from within the government." - Elon Musk

I guess Musk got a hard lesson, like some people here recently, that big problems cannot be solved through the government. Musk explains why and he's right. Most problems require hard solutions. Ever lost your job and needed to explain to your trophy wife that you can't buy her anything anymore. Tough... You're better off putting it all on credit and hope for the best in the future. That's what governments do.

Off-topic, I've been working away at my economics research institute and also my political advocacy group. I've created a budget that's economically solid and would have Canada surpass the USA's GNI Per Capita PPP Adjusted in 20 years. Basically, instead of being 33% poorer than the Americans now, in 20 years I could make us richer than them. And, the best part? Our debt, all of it, is fully repaid by 2040 while we also pass the Americans in Quality of Life. Oh, and I've solved the birth rate crisis too and limited immigration to 0.1% per year. It's all backed by existing research and studies too. Good luck getting the government onboard with that though because some loser somewhere in Canada won't like the plan since he might need to contribute to society.

Not my debt. Ive got a quicker solution, everyone reject Canadian fiat, and poof the whole problem goes away.
 
Germany did this and then the rest of the world stopped trading with them and this forced Germany to have to expand militarily or risk starving their people which essentially led to WWII. If Canada stopped paying all its debt, the USA would probably invade us.

Still, I would try to make it a constitutional amendment that public debt is illegal.

I'm going to make a new thread for it when I iron out a few kinks. I keep running out of session limits with my paid AI though. Almost considering upgrading plans.

So, I did pay for max cause what I'm working on is fairly important but man, I didn't realize how difficult Claude is to work with. It's so leftist, the bias is insane. Even when I feed it multiple peer reviewed studies from academic journals, it just discounts them for now good reason and keeps to the leftist view of the economic changes. I've been fighting with it since noon yesterday and slowly making incremental gains as I'm able to prove it wrong to the point it has not choice but then instead of accepting the conclusion from the studies it just adjusts it closer to the leftist philosophy but slightly different than what it originally came up with.

Then on the other hand, Germini just tells me whatever I want to hear and doesn't challenge the data enough.

I've just been getting Gemini and Claude to fight with one another. Claude is wrong on its takes. It's wayyyyyy too liberal. It probably has judeo-protections baked in that say if the government isn't taxing people 50% of their earnings, society will crumble.

I like it though because if I can get Claude to agree with the numbers, then it's leftist proof.

It's a good thing I have essentially a masters in stats and econ because otherwise I wouldn't be able to challenge these models. Claude literally kept technology as it pertains to the GDP growth as static despite significant changes to Canada's system to improve productivity (it also kept labor productivity the same). I've been fighting with it all day so I probably won't have a finished product for a few days still.

I went ahead and bought more AI power and I'm actually looking at adding several economics journals for some analysis on studies on there that corroborate my budget.

Essentially, all in doing is removing all taxes in Canada; also, the CPP and EI then consolidating all the taxes into a "harmonized" consumption tax (that includes rent and interest rate profit on loans based on the differential between cost of debt and price of debt), tariff and foreign capital outlay. So if you buy a product or service in Canada you pay the consumption tax, if you import in a product you pay the consumption tax and if you take your profits and send them overseas you pay the consumption tax (the same percentage for all 3 activities).

The end result is essentially a 6% consumption tax (as described above for the 3 metrics) and no other taxes for all levels of government (that means no property taxes as well). Instead of royalties, the government either sells the land at market value or leases it at market value (with resources included in the lease price).

All social programs will be ended with the complete privatization of healthcare. It also includes a free trade agreement with the USA (ending Canada's protectionist supports on lumber and dairy) and the elimination of the need to consult with the Native Indians.

Debt will eventually be eliminated and then it will be illegal for any branch of government to take on public debt.

The controversy of the plan is how to ensure the bottom 40% of Canadians aren't significantly worse off during the transition phases. I'm still working through these kinks. It's possible and can be done but it's tricky. Unwinding Canada's social programs is not a 5 year plan, it's more like a 30 year plan.

There's also tons of ideology I have to fight through in studies done to ensure the budget is academia approved.

Fortunately, there's a lot of studies already on birth rates. One of the most correlative factors reducing birth rates is the time women have to reproduce and post-secondary absolutely destroys this time. Ending all government subsidies to education will lead to higher birth rates. Other strong evidence correlates men's income relative to women (the higher men's income is compared to women's the higher birth rates). My plan would lead to significant higher male incomes and male labor participation which would lead to higher birth rates.

In the end, no segment of the population when looking at averages will be worse off but yes, some people on an individual level will be.

Still working out all the kinks and then I'll show you.
