No sarcasm. I suspect this kind of bureaucratic sideloading might be the only way to get these changes done. One further: if the Fed starts an index fund and distributes the dividends equally to the American people, do we suddenly have UBI tied to the national GDP? If that index fund gets large enough that it owns a significant portion of the economy, do we have distributed control of the means of production?
Depending on how the debt situation falls out, we might already have that. :-\
