substitute it withSSN@usps.comThat's it. Everyone with a social security gets an email that is only accessible at the USPS website on a USPS kiosk which they can put anywhere. You just saved billions and improved efficiency 10x. The kiosk can also print the mail for a small fee so you can still get paper letters if you want. In order to prevent fraud you can make the log in via phone Face ID, or by swiping your driver's license or 2FA or any number of security options. It would take a year to implement and forever change our society for the better.
>>522585047>In order to prevent fraud you can make the log in via phone Face ID, or by swiping your driver's license or 2FA or any number of security options.i'd support it. we're already setup to do this too. IRS, SSA and a lot of other federal websites already use ID.me for this
Any particular reason why you are of the opinion that the government and the USPS needs to "save" billions?You do understand that the government creates money, right? That it doesn't need your tax revenue before it can spend, right? That taxes are only a check on inflationary pressure, right? That government must spend money before anyone else income and that is how money is left behind in the economy from which the private sector generates a surplus, right?
>>522585047You niggers almost burned the country down over a shot. Ain’t no one giving their info out like that willingly. Nice try.
>>522585047>just create a digital ID broNah, no thanks.
>That government must spend money before anyone else income and that is how money is left behind in the economy from which the private sector generates a surplus, right?This is incorrect. The Central Bank either prints money by buying bonds on the open market, or burns money by selling bonds.While the CB uses Government Bonds for this purpose, it is not required, the CB can theoretically do open market operations with private debt just fine.It also does not require the government actually spend the money it borrows.The money supply is controlled by Banks, not the Government.
>>522585047>social securityIf you're interested in saving money then you should advocate shutting down that. It takes up a full quarter of the budget.
>>522586203its already there. they already have your info. they can force you into the digital ID whenever they want by tying it to anything associated with your SSN (bank accounts). the faith and trust some people have in the federal government on this board is fucking wild. i've had people dispute the idea that a federal gun registry exists on the basis that they believe the ATF doesnt document the info on these forms, because its illegal on paper. grow up
>>522585047I won't be signing up.USPS hasn't delivered anything to me that I desire to receive in a long time.
>>522586490They cannot. In fact, they had to use Palantir to centralize (in violation of the Fourth Amendment) the different database systems.
>>522586375Wrong. Spending apportioned by Congress creates the money. If they spend to a deficit, by identity they have created reserves in the banking system in that amount. Selling bonds is not a borrowing operation, it is done to drain excess reserves in support of the central bank's overnight interest rate target.The government does not borrow money and operationally it cannot borrow money. The only thing it accepts as payment for the bonds that it issues are currency (its currency) or bank reserves -- so operationally, these must exist independently before any bond can be purchased.The government does not borrow money.
>>522586664>They cannot.ok. good luck, and may God be with you
>>522585047Undecided if the 500k unemployed feral niggers would be a change for better or worse
>>522585449Kill yourself you retarded faggot
>>522586799False. USD is a FEDERAL RESERVE NOTE.Only the Fed can create money. Government Spending does not create money.Federal Reserve Notes are given to Banks in exchange for debt.The Banks then give that money to the Government by buying bonds at auction, or the Government gets those Federal Reserve Notes by taxation.The currency is not controlled by the Government.
>>522587300The Fed is an agent of Congress. It is the government's central banking arm. Congress apportions the money full stop.Just stop and think for two seconds. Think about it operationally. If the only thing the government accepts as payment for its bonds are currency or bank reserves, then those things must exist independently of borrowing. The government creates its own money every time it spends. It's so dead simple and straightforward that only a right winger up their own ass in conspiracy theories that don't actually make sense could miss it.
>>522585047Ok, but isn't that retarded?
>>522587590>The Fed is an agent of Congress.This is false. The Fed is an independent institution, and Congress agrees.>The government creates its own money every time it spends.This is false and a complete misunderstanding of the process.The USPS cannot create money by spending.What you are suggesting is MMT, and that is illegal, the Fed cannot legally buy bonds at auction, it can only create money to give to banks.>It's so dead simple and straightforward that only a right winger up their own ass in conspiracy theoriesThe conspiracy theory is that the Fed has zero accountability to Congress, that is indeed also false.But you a spewing idiotic left wing MMT nonsense. Turns out the left is just as Economically illiterate as the right.The Fed was created as a "deal" between Banks and the Government. Congress gets a say, but Banks also get a say, as Private Banks are SHAREHOLDERS in the regional Fed Banks.What you are missing is that all dollars created MUST come from the Fed, not the USPS.
>>522588534The Fed was created by an act of Congress.>the Fed cannot legally buy bonds at auctionRight, you mean the primary market. But legally is the operative word there, right? Like any law, it is a self-imposed restraint. Is there an OPERATIONAL or TECHNICAL bar? Does it violate a natural law? This is a serious question I am asking you.Right. So the government doesn't borrow money.
>>522588534>What you are missing is that all dollars created MUST come from the Fed, not the USPS.The dollars come from the US government. If Congress gives X amount of dollars to USPS they have them. The Fed has no say in that. The Fed has zero control over what Congress spends or what they spend it on. It is not their lane.
>>522588774>>522588878>Like any law, it is a self-imposed restraint.Yes, and hence the Law could also be changed to allow the Fed to buy PRIVATE DEBT.If the Fed bought PRIVATE DEBT money would get created by the PRIVATE SECTOR.If the Fed bought UPS or FedEx's debt that would mean the UPS or FedEx are creating money instead of the USPS.The Fed does not have to be limited to Government Bonds. That is a self-imposed restraint.In fact, that restraint was partially lifted during the Financial Crisis, to allow the Fed to purchase Mortgage-Backed Securities from GSEs.But in principal, the Fed could buy Corporate Bonds directly, it is only restrained by Law.This restraint is important, it's a delicate balance between Banks and Congress, without restraint you get Hyperinflation.
>>522585047A public postal system with statutory gaurentees is a necessity for a free and fair society, anyone shilling against the USPS is a kike
>>522585047>you can make the log in via phone Face ID, or by swiping your driver's license or 2FAlol fuck off
>>522588878>If Congress gives X amount of dollars to USPS they have them. The Fed has no say in that.Congress is bound by "Full Faith and Credit" meaning that any money they spend must be raised through Taxes or Borrowing.Congress does also have the Constitutional Power to abolish the Federal Reserve and coin money directly.>>522588774>Does it violate a natural law?From a natural law point of view, it's irrelevant. If Congress mismanages the currency, then people WILL use a foreign currency, or Gold or Bitcoin or whatever the fuck.This has plenty of historical precedent. In the 13 colonies, usage of the silver Spanish Dollar was commonplace.The system we have WORKS. And restraint is a key part of it. See also >>522589405
