Funding the NHS
Dear Mr Helm
When Charles Clarke appeared on the News on Thursday evening, to
say “The
only way out of the dilemma, which Governments will face in the
matter of
funding the NHS, will be to charge for core level services”.
Clarke does not appear to realise that core level services are
already
charged to the taxpayer, but he imagines that we have only one choice,
which
is to force the patient to pay twice for what is supposedly a free
service.
The Government could, if it had the desire to do so, relieve the
taxpayer,
of paying for core level services completely.
Fund those services from a new source, never mentioned as though
it did not
exist.
We may not understand what core level services are, in the mind
of a
politician, we could state they are the bare necessities of barefoot
medical
care.
Or stated another way, the essence of our greatest National Asset,
the care
of a caring Government.
Such an asset paid for with new money, minted, printed or somehow
newly
created by the Government, could not cause inflation, when spent
wisely and
well, however great the sum or sums required. The reason being,
that it
would so relieve the stress of hyper taxation, that such an increase
in
general health would occur, that funding of the NHS would no longer
be a
dilemma.
That is the exact opposite of what the existing caring Government
is doing.
The sums involved have tripled since the present Government came
to power in
1997. That huge increase has been paid for with new money, issued
as credit
by private banks.
The credit must be laundered by the taxpayer, who works for bankers
to pay
the interest on the credit and then to earn the money to give to
the bankers
in return for the credit. Credit is the Newspeak word for fresh
air
masquerading as a means of exchange.
New Money created in this fashion costs twice as much as what is
actually
needed. Added to that intelligence the fact that the creation of
new money
should be the sole prerogative of Government, and we can see how
widely
adrift Charles Clarke is in his thinking.
Unfortunately that thinking is but part of a consensus held by
Parliament,
that we cannot trust our Government to create new money and we must
give the
privilege to private bankers, in order to make their enormous profits.
Whosoever creates and issues our currency has Supreme power over
us. Bankers
use that power to muzzle the Press, so this matter is never mentioned
by the
Press or by the media.
The trouble started with the Tonnage Act of 1694 and was shipped
across the
Atlantic to the USA at Christmas 1913, to form the Federal Reserve
Bank of
America. It is now global policy and is the reason Fair Trading
has turned
into commercial warfare, which is the root cause of man's contribution
to
climate change.
You may not be allowed to use this intelligence. But the truth
cannot be
hidden forever and placed in the hands of the chief journalist to
our best
National Daily, it is automatically on its way to the surface.
