It has come to my attention that when a business goes out of business, it comes down the the state to support the pensioners of that company. now, when in recession, the state will likely be supporting more people's pensions, especially when it comes down to products being replaced or technology 'taking off.'

This is why the state needs to support businesses that are 'winding down.' if a business is losing money or customers, it is up to the state to find them new customers, or, deal with the issues of social security for the pensioners.

I think about twenty percent of people out there are pensioners, so, this means that, say, five percent of the population is supported by 'state pensions.' this means that this money is out of circulation, that the pensioners get the money and return it to the state at various tax points, of course. this means, of course, that this money goes from state to pensioner, then back to the state through taxation - it does not enter circulation really does it?

Maybe if the state was to buy these businesses that are 'going down' or invest in them at least, they will have a chance to make fifty percent of what they spend a year, and, that would be better for the state, as, with paying for these pensions, they need more money to spend, of course.

So, the state should open more banks of it's own. these pensioners can accumulate their pensions from this bank, and, the money they do not spend stays in the bank, where the state, as owners, can draw from it - their own money! - and spend it as they will.

Now, moving all pensioners to 'state banks' would be the ideal outcome for five percent of the population - if the g.d.p. is a trillion a year, as is my country's, then there would be about fifty billion rand or whatever currency you use comparatively or by comparison, 'not moving.'
