What Isn't Working

As it's currently being managed, the banking system is not working. The other financial institutions that make money by lending money are not working either. Why? Because there is a major, fundamental flaw inherent within the structure of these institutions.

A Broken System: hat's not to blame the bankers or anybody else. It's the system that is dysfunctional and not the people who run the financial institutions. So no matter who you point fingers at and fire, no matter how much money is pumped into the financial system, and no matter what regulations are imposed upon the lending and financial insurance institutions, all of the proposed solution are not really solutions. They are more of the age-old, same-old, tired-old, symptom-treating game. None of the proposed solutions thus far presented (June 2010) to solve the world's financial crisis addresses the cause, and none of them will solve the core problem. The symptoms may temporarily go away, but the problems are guaranteed to surface again.

Futile Gesturing: Without solving the core problem, everything what is being done today is multi-billion dollar futile gesturing -- it's taking actions that are doomed to fail while inwardly knowing (and often outwardly denying) that the actions taken are not going to solve the problem. Futile gesturing is often an act of desperation, or it's done in the context of not knowing what to do, or it's done in the context of lacking the courage to do what actually needs to be done.

What may appear as an act of futile gesturing may actually be part of a plan to produce a desired outcome, such as delaying tactic. The "Not on My Watch" attitude that dominates American politics is a good example. The politician does something that he knows will not solve the problem, but he does it anyway ,because it will delay the inevitable negative consequences until the next guy is in office.

Solving the government deficit financing problem with more deficit financing is another example. Politicians love this tool because the resulting inflation commonly takes six months to two years to show up. With such a long delay, the relationship between cause and result is difficult to see and most of the people don't make the connection. Also the public has been told that the price of deficit spending now will be paid by future generations.

The Core Problem

Conflicts of Interest: Major conflicts of interest are at the core of the financial industry's problems. Conflicts of interest are inherent in the banking system. Here's why:

Any public service organization that is also designed to generate a profit has a huge conflict of interest between providing its intended service and making that profit.

Again, that's not to blame anybody. It is the system, itself, that's dysfunctional. In the present system, profits come first, and because profits come first, those running the major corporations (including the banks) have no choice. These people must generate a profit or get fired.

Let's not focus on how the conflicts of interest have corrupted the financial system, but for those who choose to read about it, Please see our Mari-Med.org website for an exposé on the ways that conflicts of interest have corrupted the financial industry. Instead, let's focus on the two options that can actually solve the conflict-of-interest problem -- 1) either replace the existing system, or 2) redesign it.

The First Non-Profit Foundation Solution

Replacement

What is required is a financial-service industry whose only interest is serving its customers. How can that be accomplished? By the use of non-profit foundations. Non-profit foundations, by themselves, can be used to make major changes in the money lending business. Here are some examples:

How to End the Home Foreclosure Crisis

(Cost = About 300 billion dollars Time = About six months)

Funding Governments without Taxation

Funding County and City Governments

(And at the same time, provide auto, student, personal and
small businesses loans)

Funding State Governments

(Ending usury-level interest rates on credit cards)

http://www.EconomicSanity101.com/funding-state-governemtns.html#83

Funding National Governments

(Imagine the federal bureaucrats practicing what they preach)

http://www.EconomicSanity101.com/funding-national-governemtns.html#83

These transitions can be made with relative ease and simplicity. Why so simple? Because we are not creating anything new. Nobody has to learn anything new. We are simply combining two well established legal businesses -- home-loan-lending and managing a non-profit foundation. The differences are that we are using a revised and updated version of a traditional foundation, and we are using this combination for a previously ignored purpose. Thousands of people are available to be employed by these foundations. The start up money, in the form of zero-interest loans, can come directly from the federal treasury. This is by far the fastest, least expensive and most benefit-producing way to resolve the present financial crisis.

The Second Non-Profit-Foundation Solution

Re-Design

Non-profit foundations, when partnered with profit-making corporations, can be used to transform the entire corporate world, including the financial industry.

The Benefits of Foundations

http://www.EconomicSanity101.com/benefits-of-foundations.html#83

In this solution, the banking system remains as it is with the exception of one simply change that will completely transform the entire system. The change is to demand that banks be managed under The New Corporate World Foundation's Win-Win Business Structure. By partnering a non-profit foundation with each bank, and by following the procedures described to transfer controlling stock ownership to the foundation, the money usually siphoned off to stockholders as profits can then be redirected to give corporate employees, corporate customers, and the environment equal priority with making a profit. In the new system, here is where the money will go:

To create healthy, safe working environments

To financially reward management and employees at rates that are just, fair, and equitable, and that are in line with the amount of money required to produce sustainable living conditions

To rebuild, re-model, update, and/or replace the company's infrastructure

To produce high quality products and/or services at a fair price

To buy additional outstanding stock of the profit-making corporation as it becomes available

To participate in the Reversal of Global Warming

Here are some of the benefits that will occur when other corporations follow our lead. Using The New Corporate World Foundation's Win-Win Business Structure will:

Financially re-empower the middle class

Bring about a major, peaceful redistribution of wealth

Make major reductions of the scourge on society called debt,

Provide a sound financial underpinning for corporate employees

Create happier, healthier, more productive employees

Produce higher quality products and services

Take a major step toward the Reversal of Global Warming

What the New Corporate World Foundation's Win-Win Business Structure is, how it functions, and how the non-profit foundation becomes the controlling stockholder is described in great detail on TLC-Life-Center's website:

Creating a Role Model

We're Walking Our Talk

At TLC-Life-Center

We are demonstrating our proposals by creating two
corporations, one for-profit and one not-for-profit.
They will function as partners.

The Corporation:

The for-profit business (Mari-Med Corporation) will be based on The New Corporate World Foundation's Win-Win Business Structure -- a structure in which corporate employees, corporate customers, and the environment hold equal priority with making a profit. Corporate focus is the production and application of Hemp.

Hemp is an ignored gold mine because when it is allowed to freely flourish, it will become a multi-billion dollar industry. For example, hemp it will replace trees as a source of fiber for paper, it's medical benefits are profound, and as plastic for auto bodies, its strength and damage resistance will save billions of dollars in auto repairs.

The Foundation:

We are creating a medical-marijuana, access-assistance foundation, The Mari-Med Foundation will provide funding and access to medical marijuana for those in need who cannot, by themselves, afford to pay for the products and services. The Foundation will own controlling interest in the Mari-Med Corporation so that the majority of the corporate profits will go to the Foundation.
