Carrol, I also meant to respond to your comment about "permanent".
Yes, perhaps "permanent" is not the best word.  It is meant to distinguish
my proposal from the "temporary" nationalization of the mainstream economists.
What would be a better word?  "non-temporary"?  "long-lasting"?
It is "permanent" at least in the sense of current intentions.
But of course things can change, including laws, in the future.
