Negative advertising worth millions and billions can be done for free by network slight-of-mouth while positive advertising costs money-lots of it. Free-riding political packaging can take advantage of trendy names-such as Barrack Obama's Senate opponent before dropping out Jack Ryan. Direct negative political advertising can overcome the truth-how many people are good at recognizing logical fallacy in arguments?
"our better part remains [ 645 ]
To work in close design, by fraud or guile
What force effected not: that he no less
At length from us may find, who overcomes
By force, hath overcome but half his foe."-from Milton's 'Paradise Lost'
Barrack 'Obawan' Kin-o-be may or may not be the light or dark side of the force, yet let's look at his recent position that the stock market crash is prima facie evidence that its bad policy to invest social security funds in the stock market...
Barrack Obama used his anti-investment theory as a negative advertisement against McCain and the contrary position pro-investment. Obama may not comprehend that social security money isn't invested anywhere but is paid out of current accounts tax revenues and that may be the most expensive way to go about it. Half a loaf is better than none, and investing social security in the stock market may be a way to get something real for the dollars invested in the past.
If the economy has a recession and inflation simultaneously in some cases it may be more difficult to get tax revenues sufficient to make social security payments to the public, and when the federal government needs to borrow money to make those payments because it hasn't got any equity from them it can cost twice as much to repay the loans because of interest and the value of money in the future when the loans are repaid. If even half of social security money is invested in the stock market and perhaps the other half paid from current federal accounts it may decrease the amount of money removed from the private sector to pay the cost of social security.
The largest issue about private stock investments relate to how to invest fairly and in American companies, shouldn't small businesses get financial help too in order not to give corporations the advantage? Creating socialism and corporatism through the back door of social security investments may present a danger to free enterprise as well, yet simply removing huge amounts of tax revenues to pay out in social security from current accounts cuts down on the money available for private sector investments significantly, while investing social security funds returns money for investment in corporate growth simultaneously with a reduction in the amount of money required for current accounts payments of social security. The U.S. Government would need to guarantee adequate social security payments when individual private investment account fail to as they guarantee bank accounts Barrack Obama has got away with a huge negative advertising ploy to help win an election while basing it on false premises deleterious to real public interests.
Negative advertising is played to win elections. Rhetoric about the bad character of the opponent in doing the perfidious negative advertising can put one's campaign over the top of the bar to victory and the champagne, celebrations and Hollywood Starlets that follow. Negative advertising requires a subtle strategy that won't backfire. It can be helped forward by getting others tacitly to do 'the dirty work' for you, and to train the talking-head masses to politely accept the programming your campaign propaganda masters have fed them. Without a conversion of the mass media to ordinary citizen Internet podcasts it will be hard for a campaign finance reformer like John McCain to defeat heavily financed and ghost-voter registration supported candidates although that may change some day.
Banks should be required to keep 25% of deposits on account in order to reduce fraud and bad loan-making the public needs to pay for. Wealthy interests controlling the broadcast media invested in banking also may advertise adversely regarding adequate regulation in order to secure higher corporate profits confident that the public must buy their bad debts if they are large enough to jeopardize U.S. economic health.
Negating the negative and accentuating the positive with negativity paid for with millions and millions. Where has the commander of control of 'nandering nabobs of negativity' gone when the nation needs one? Man is deceived by plenteous means in political matters of mass society. Propaganda value through the high radio towers was first conceived and exploited by the socialist turned fascist inventor of the political philosophy of corporatism Benito Mussolini. When the U.S. Congress turned down a guarantee for French security at the conclusion of world war one and preferred to sign a separate peace with Germany they guaranteed the return of war in effect said the former French leader Clemenceau of that era. The beliefs of man regarding the value of immediate gain over the pursuit of rational longer range security goals are ordinary. Propaganda in negative advertising as the wags of media words would say is spicy, saucy and pays public money back to the right corporate channels. Obama this time has 400% more cash to spend than John McCain in the month of October 2008 on advertising. He can afford to denounce McCain's campaign as 'negative' and McCain's disavowal of negativism and negative for the high dollar pile controls the power of propaganda when common sense is lacking from the public.
When the United States signed a separate peace with Germany many of its manufacturing capitalists looked enviously to the German production potential for technology, sales and profits in heavy industry, automobiles and manufacturing. Prescott Bush and Henry Ford were notable traders with the Nazi regime-today China occupies a similar role yet the future is uncertain. Building up China may not have the same consequences as did building up Nazi Germany.
The United States is a world leader in consumption of oil and products from abroad. An ill founded consumerist purchase from abroad policy was exploited by corrupt global corporations in order to increase profits and 'drive' the now globalized economy that made India and China major producers and the United States a major consumer of imported goods. At the end of the G.W. Bush administration late in 2008 the global house of banking cards collapsed requiring a public bail out of 3 trillion dollars of guaranteed support for all the bad mortgages and loans created by the free world's banks during the prior decade of globalizing and rushing economic policy. Propaganda in support of a U.S. reliance on oil and fossil fueled automobiles made a transition to a new transportation energy technology unfeasible. Concentrated wealth in support of the 'real world' of oil dependence by the United States prevailed over independent, innovative electric vehicle and home power production development. The real world means the real social establishment in the United States. The real world allegiance of families to corporate controllers relieves the public from any rational environmental or economic policy thought at a political level. The 'real world' is the stagnant insider clique running roughshod over the prospects for U.S. nationalism and energy self-reliance. Propaganda forming negative opinions about candidates and individuals in support of alternative energy and border security policies is heavily financed by global advertising budgets.
In order to make the global conventional economy 'go' the United States needs to accelerate rapidly to electric vehicle production and individual energy production through solar, wind and fuel cell power sources. A Manhattan project level of commitment is need to change the policy quickly enough to rectify the deteriorating orbits of economic flow globally before it crashes and burns in the friction of inefficiency, war and chaos.
When the U.S.A. stops consuming its 25 or 30% of global oil supplies in generally non-industrial uses and produces new electric vehicle and energy production technologies for domestic and export the savings for Americans should be substantial. Fuel costs for oil imported to Chan should decline as well, and Chinese production of products for exports should have slightly lower prices. U.S. imports would remain the same yet prices should drop. A stabilization of Middle-East oil prices should follow and remain for a few years until Chinese and India vehicle use and demands for oil cuts in to the oil supply for industry. A rectified conventional economic posture can grow when the United States quits using any foreign oil itself and moves to a higher technology. Negative advertising of the brainwashed and battered U.S. media watching/listening public may well halt any movement toward change of an ordered nature. Obama is an I Ching sort of socialist advocate for a book of changes with unknown, radical possibilities including global depression in the near term and world war for scare resources. Jihadists may find new inspiration in deposing a homosexualist U.S. regime making efforts to 'queer' the world toward bimarriage 'choice'. Negative advertising will certainly anathematize the political incorrect at any given time.
A final word about negative advertising and national economic security...Without complete border migration control the United States cannot reasonably implement any ordered domestic economic policy without anticipating an influx of millions of illegal workers as the economy improves. That will overthrow the effort for wage and environmental improvements, obviously. Super-charging short term profits and home construction with illegal labor accelerates select portions of the economic cycle bringing unnaturally quickly to a halt. Corrupt and improvident banking loans to unqualified buyers for immediate profits add fuel to the fire of unbalancing the macro-economy. Traditional capitalism isn't given a chance to work as labor shifts away geographically faster that geographically based 'improvements' in the standard of living can have a chance to grow. The traditional movement of producers to areas with low labor costs is also subverted when the laborers migrate to existing areas of production.
