    "GOVLOT", $100,000,000 Get Out the Vote Lottery

    Admit it or not, like the belief among conservatives that
    laissez faire automatically optimizes a political economy,
    Keyneisian thought looks to mechanistic concepts, (such
    as employer of last resort, soft currency economics, buffer
    stock employment, citizens income, inflation protected
    money, individual estate account, taxing fixed not vartialbe
    costs, etc.) to also optimize political economy without need
    of geniuses in charge, once their system is installed.

    After 16 years of obsession with my Keynesian mechanism,
    I've come to a new and different thought. If we want a self-
    correcting political economy we do not need money reform
    first. Money reform can follow a more important political
    reform.

    If the poor can be got to vote, democracy will be far more
    self-correcting than it now is.

    Toward this end -- Australia uses a fine for not voting.

    America needs a big-win lottery as reward for voting.

    With a free lottery ticket and, say a $100,000,000
    payout to a single winner, we might get more than 90% of
    the poor to vote. If they did not, we at least might wean
    them permanently away from other lotteries.

    The payout could come from ticket sales allowed -- if
    you voted -- and wanted a second ticket.

    Details can be read on my site.
