I never proposed doing anything "permanently"; that would assume a foresight 
that is beyond human capacity!  I was trying to make two points:

1. Opposing "Keynesian" policies before everyone has a significant capital 
income would hurt people lower on the income scale, alienate potential 
political allies on the liberal side, and distract attention from the case 
you really want to focus on: whether the binary prescriptions will work as 
advertised.

2. If the binary system gets up and running, then is the time to determine if 
"Keynesian" policies are still needed--I suspect they will be, you suspect 
they won't, but we are both speculating, so why make an issue out of it 
before then?
