How about a Bonus? What if we added Jet Fuel to the Micro Loan Model? What if we Restructured of US Foreign Financial Aid and Deposited a larger Chunk in the Micro Loan Offset Coffers? What do I mean by "Offset Coffers"? Trade is the Key to all Things considered Humanity. There (3) World Economic Levels at the Moment: 1st, 2nd, & 3rd World Developing Economies. Trading above your Level is Costly, trading below is Plundering in most Cases. What if there were a Trade Equalizer between the Economic Levels? ... Say, an Offset? For example: a 1st World product could be delivered to a 3rd World producer at a Price that is Fair & Just by their Currency Standards. o Producer qualifies for Farm Tractor Micro Loan o Grameen Bank orders Farm tractor from John Deere o Upon delivery of Farm tractor, GB issues Payment to John Deere by A/P Distribution: Deposit Cash from a) Micro Loan acct & b) Trade Offset acct. Win-Win!! 1. Previously allocated US Foreign Aid is Distributed directly to the Population it is Intended for 2. US manufacture is rewarded and trade is balanced 3. the Debtor receives State-of-the-Art Equipment with Warranty and Productivity is Increased by (x) 4. Boost in Community Economic Health & Value Please let me know where I may have gotten this Wrong??? Regards, M Dear Dr. Yunus,

What do I mean by “Offset Coffers”?

Trade is the Key to all Things considered Humanity. There (3) World Economic Levels at the Moment: 1st, 2nd, & 3rd World Developing Economies. Trading above your Level is Costly, trading below is Plundering in most Cases.

What if there were a Trade Equalizer between the Economic Levels? … Say, an Offset?

For example: a 1st World product could be delivered to a 3rd World producer at a Price that is Fair & Just by their Currency Standards.

o Producer qualifies for Farm Tractor Micro Loan
o Grameen Bank orders Farm tractor from John Deere
o Upon delivery of Farm tractor, GB issues Payment to John Deere by A/P Distribution: Deposit Cash from a) Micro Loan acct & b) Trade Offset acct.

Win-Win!!

1. Previously allocated US Foreign Aid is Distributed directly to the Population it is Intended for
2. US manufacture is rewarded and trade is balanced
3. the Debtor receives State-of-the-Art Equipment with Warranty and Productivity is Increased by (x)
4. Boost in Community Economic Health & Value

Very few of us have the opportunity to witness this incredible happening in Oslo and to live it vicariously through these accounts is meaningful. One can imagine the scene over there and it is such a cause for celebration to see the work of so many be rewarded and recognized. These reports are so great.
