Renewed interest in the tax and transfer system

Rule one as we re open this social contrivance for expansion

The system must have access to general revenues and a limitless credit line
If full responsibility for maintaining optimal mobilization
 is the new mission

Nothing more is needed here

Once the individuals life time pay in
becomes
 a fractional basis only
  for their  lifetime pay out

Full accounting of this pattern at this granular level
 should be a matter for public viewing
absent relevant identity specifics

Magic tricks are emerging

Separate auto stabilization  and auto redistribution
From auto mobilization
Ie leave the employment ceiling vague or assume nairu and monetary reaction function built on nairu
Are technical issues not class politics

Separate automatic from discretionary


Compare to credit system as spending smoother


Incomplete markets  only on a tractable basis


And yet light pours thru the cracks


Single rep is doomed
