Subject: Newsflash. Idea that could of helped the UNSC.

"Find The Bomb?!
Find The Bomb?!
I'm Looking For The Flag!
What The Heck Is Assualt!?"

In a time of war a government can just borrow from itself giving itself infinite money.

They could just pay for all the things they needed, wouldn't really matter.

Simply seems like a more incentivized way than slavery of the citizens.

This... is excellent. Why don't we do this now I wonder?

Because borrowing from yourself through bonds requires credit, and if we did it willy-nilly currency would inflate and devalue.

Thus it is done drastically during times of war.

Otherwise we borrow from other countries like China.

Basically China owns the US if you didn't know, but that's not on topic.

To the tone of about 3 trillion dollars.
On Topic:
Humans would never accept if the govenrment just went 'we're at war so we need you to work for free until we win' (or you're killed). Plus if they did this they would still be in loads of debt after the war and people would rebel against the government making it worse.

Declare a state of emergency. Implement martial law. Have a mass government takeover of everything. Start a draft that you can't buy your way out of. Seize the assets of humanity's wealthiest to use to build munitions and supplies. Send a nova bomb to every covenant planet.
Well, that's what I would do.


this and...build more Pillar of Autumns along with those mech things from the Prototype episode of Halo Legends

Remove the monetary system. The Covies don't use it, neither should we.

I think your life is more valuable than worthless paper and credits.

No monetary system = Thousands of UNSC Warships, MAC platforms, Spartans, Advanced Tech, and Weapons

You have 800+ worlds, I think the resources are pretty bountiful, plus the captured Covie Tech and Halos.

Perhaps this could of helped a little when the UNSC and ONI realized they were a little outmatched by the Covenant.



Go look at the American health system. You'll see how much people love money, they're even willing to let others die because they can't pay for a treatment. That'll somehow answer your question.
