• "We are witnessing the greatest theft in the history of the world."

Raising interest rates in stages to provide positive real returns to savers.

• Banning over-the-counter derivatives that serve no role in capital formation but greatly increase systemic risk.

• Breaking up too big to fail banks that pose systemic risk.

• Offering real price stability. Two percent inflation is not benign, it is cancerous.

• Create a favorable investment and growth climate by ending regime uncertainty in areas such as taxes, healthcare, regulation and other government impositions.
