    £18 million owed for Health

    Dear Mr George

    “I do not know how they will overcome this”. Suzie Smith reported you to have said this for the Western Morning News.

    If that is a serious question from you personally and you would like to know, I will try to explain.

    When the State accepts responsibility for providing a National Health Service, the State takes on board an ever rising cost. This is inevitable as advances in medical science, introduce new technology, some of which is very expensive.

    When I started as a medical student, there was no heart surgery. But today heart surgery alone is a vast and costly industry.

    The money to provide the standard of heart surgery available in the National Health Service today, has been borrowed into existence. The only method of increasing the money supply, is to obtain new money as credit from the banks.

    As private individuals we now owe £1,200,000,000,000 and our Government owes an estimated £13,000.000.000.000. £18 million owed by Trelisk, seen against these rows of noughts, is like chicken feed.

    Unless you get Parliament to examine the Wisdom of allowing the banks to create and issue all that money as credit and to enslave Great Britain with debt, there will be no way that anyone can ever overcome that debt of £18 million.

    On the other hand using this impasse in our finances, as a wake up call for the need to reform our monetary system, we can restore to Government the sole right to create and issue new money and tell the Government how to do so correctly. And at the same time attain zero inflation. Full details of why and how this can be done, is available on request by you personally.
