Al Gore: Democracy Bankrupted
on Sunday, March 31, 2019Al Gore Money Quote saying deceptive practices in government make us believe that Democracy is bankrupt. Al Gore said:
“If the reasoning process is corrupted by money and deception, then the consent of the governed is based on false premises, and any power thus derived is inherently counterfeit and unjust. If the consent of the governed is extorted through the manipulation of mass fears, or embezzled with claims of divine guidance, democracy is impoverished. If the suspension of reason causes a significant portion of the citizenry to lose confidence in the integrity of the process, democracy can be bankrupted” — Al Gore

Al Gore suggested that money supply regulation should be depoliticized because currently, political interests often influence how monetary policy is set and implemented. By depoliticizing it, decisions about money supply could be made in a more objective, non-partisan manner based solely on economic factors like inflation and employment levels.
Gore likely felt this could lead to more stable, predictable monetary policy that is less subject to shifting political winds. Making the process less political may also increase public trust in the independence and integrity of monetary authorities.
