In reading through a fine history book on the week leading to the signing of the Armistice 11-11-11-1918 ending World War One I have reflected upon not only this work, but that of others on the role and reaction of Imperial powers and other elements of European and global history to political and economic presence of Jews leading to the Reich’s adoption of the final solution to end the political ‘problem’ of Jews existing in a local polity. The infamous term developed perhaps applicable to a broader context of economic and political issues that made Germany politically unstable.
Yes, there may be more interesting, contemporary topics to write on. For instance there may be a question of was Osama Bin Laden read his Miranda rights before being shot by U.S. Navy Seals in Abadabad (a place in Pakistan where bad guys sometimes go to hide out). This essay isn’t intended to be a deep, comprehensive thesis on the causes of the decision of the Reich’s leadership to concentrate the German and European Jewish population and liquidate them in the death camps.
I am presenting several ideas on the topic stimulated by a recent reading of a history of part of the First World War. As one encounters novel ideas approaching the age of sixty, it is difficult to persuade oneself that the choice to procrastinate would lead to anything beyond annihilating the prospect for writing down the thought.
The German imperial state had existed for only about forty years near the start of the First World War. The King of Prussia was the Emperor-the Kaiser, of the German military and state that lost to the allies during the four years of the First World War. Jews were not Prussian officers loyal to their warlord, and as international and sometimes brilliant members of a Jewish Diaspora were scattered throughout the European nations as a somewhat restive commercial and intellectual class with little prospect for becoming ethnic insiders within a hotly contested political environment over history. They could easily become regarded as politically antipathetic members of an internal proletariat during a time of national stress. Political leaders could view them like rich cherry pies cooling in windows ripe for harvest. Humanity may have the heart of a thief in some of its political establishment sometimes. Our Lord was crucified hanging on a cross between two thieves.
European history it should be recalled was not invariably sweetness and light with liberty and justice for all. Those were real Huns that flanked the Roman Army too swiftly, real Mongols invading Russia and on to Novgorod, actual thirty years and hundred years wars, actual hundreds of years of British-Spanish naval battles, actual thousand years of war to drive the Moors back to Africa. Much of European political history developed along tribal lines loyal to racial leadership through feudalism that itself was capable of producing or politically evolving democratic institutions such as England during the event-processes of the Magna Charta. Jews were extraneous to the process in many respects, and following the tremendous losses of German established human, social and economic capital during the first world war, the rise of scapegoating of Jews for causal explanations of failures to win the war were easy to develop.
The Jews as a people in a society yet not of it was not unique to Germany. In Russia the tsar had a history of stimulating pogroms against Jews in various towns when the economy was bad to take the popular heat of himself and blame the Jews for a recession. European Jews of the Diaspora were politically outsiders in many respects both in religion and politics-two of the primary cultural avenues to power in local politics. Some Jewish thinkers desired a land of their own where they might also be a local people. Herzog and Zionism would take some time to arise, during the late 19th century many Jews opted for some new European state-perhaps a class neutral Bolshevik state or a nation for itself perhaps beyond the Pale of Poland. Jewish participation in the Underground red political organizations such as the Bolshevik Party (e.g. Trotsky) and widespread leadership in German revolutionary communist actions leading to the formation of the first German Republic including three Jews in charge in Bavaria ending the monarchy of King Ludwig’s 900 year family tradition were loud political opponents of German conservatives thereafter-especially during the post war decade the near creation of a German Bolshevik state at the end of the war would become an apparent obstruction to a reformation of a loyal German militarism.
During European history there was an ongoing process of local and non-local powers in politics. I have started to regard that problem of local political control versus non-local as something like that of non-locality and locality in quantum mechanics; each are necessary if one wishes to have material planets and stars exist.
In global politics today the advantage tends to be with non-localists sometimes appearing s a plague of locusts to the locals observing their resources being taken. The United States may have its Jews such as Solomon Brothers to participate in globalism and non-locality, yet they can hardly be said to be leading over Americans who have become more Jewish than Jews at business non-locality, since the Jews have created their own locality in Israel achieving a kind of balance although sometimes trained in the locality and non-locality phenomena that the United States is in error moving away from.
Locality is a necessary precondition for political self-determination in politics. It is also a requirement for non-monolithic governments and its multiplicity of nations that locality is not erased by non-local political and economic power.
The Jews in Germany became victims of the historical evolution of simultaneous local and non-local political, religious and economic powers. They were originally unwilling victims of a local Diaspora flinging them outward non-locally. One finds the absurdity of the genius son of the richest man in Europe-Ludwig Wittgenstein, enlisting in the Austrian Army to experience non-intellectual danger during the four years of the First World War where he writes the Tractatus Logico Philosophicus and pines away after his deceased British pilot. The non-locality of Jews in the early 20th century of Europe versus the local sometimes reached even more absurd levels.
Albert Einstein his friendship with a mentor who was the inventor of the chemical war agent GB. Eventually he left Germany with his family who manufactured electrical generators in Switzerland. After years of education and work in Germany fled to the United States developing an atomic bomb on the way. Locality and non-locality in politics and social experience created a vast range of conflicting waves of turbulent social change. Simple reactionaries such as Adolph Hitler developed economic and political methods in response to the existential challenges they encountered with means that were hyperbolized expressions of human historical tradition.
Perhaps human beings in this era are capable of only two absolute forms of governance-absolutism as a totalized state or local neo-democracy. Because human life exist in a physical continuum of perpetual time progression political balances have a tendency to escalate or reduce to absolute conditions not unlike the reduction of mass and energy to black hole singularities through the reinforcement of gravitational attraction. Keeping localities free from non-local political takeover and erasure is a reciprocal requisite for keeping non-local political powers such as that of global economics from becoming absolute powers. Unleavened political locality is a necessity if the leavened non-locality of global politics is to keep from collapsing into some form of authoritarianism of totalitarianism.
The Jews of the Era of the 3rd Reich were large victims of the human political conflict between locality and non-locality in politics. They weren’t the first nor the last to be held to be class enemies of local powers as non-local opponents to well being. That experience increases as chaos arises in society-such as occurred after the end of the First World War. John Maynard Keynes had believed that harsh requirements by the allies for reparations would lead to further crisis. World war two may have been the result of that, as deficit sending in Germany to stimulate a radical industrial economic recovery with huge public debt led the Nazi leadership to an unbalanced war economy footing that required a relitigation of the conclusion of the First World War.
The same dangers of radical political instability could develop in the world again with vast public debt build ups and global economic chaos stimulating wars and struggle for local security sometimes on a class basis not dissimilar in logic from expressions in law of class action suits. A stable political idea of conservative locality within a liberal non-locality seems the better approach to continuing life on Earth in nations free of oppression and environment destroying existential industrialist-nihilists.
The Nazi ‘final solution’ to the existential geo-political circumstance of the time was exemplary of populist reasoning of the day. Incompetence in political diagnostics is a reciprocal of political contests of power-there are winners and losers in mass actions necessary and unnecessary each. No more than final solution in physical theories of everything are comprehensive political solutions likely to cover the optimal utopian requirements able to satisfy all people at all times, or explain all things for all time. Non-localities and non-localities must cohere simultaneously in the paradoxes of politics and quantum mechanics without violating the boundaries of either, leaving the transcendence to us as God and grace permits.
Einstein demonstrated that as a local object accelerates toward the speed of light it mass ‘weight’ increases. Political mass too encounters a bow wave that it cannot get over at sublunary velocity as a locality tries to become the Universal State. Political resistance to universal, global states may also increase Universal precipitating a transition into gravitation collapse toward singularity.
Populism and pragmatism may find many ways to define class enemies. Locality may be regarded as hindering to votaries of non-locality and vice versa. Mistaken belief in non-locality as locality can prevail amidst existentially phenomenal economic classes arising without local roots.
Existential economic bubbles developed through non-local business processes may locally collapse with anisotropic distribution.
Conservativism and its antipathetic opposition perennially discover new political methods whereby conflict is afforded opportunity as a means-for-itself. Confusions arise in the polity solved through allegiance to simple, stark-for-others beliefs. Belief in God and the Lord Jesus Christ may be the only effective solution capable of liberating human beings as localities-in-themselves, for-themselves to overcome temporal finity, transcending in the saving relationship to the ultimate non-locality of God, the Father of all localities.

Ideas for Expeditious Financial Withdrawal from Afghanistan and Pakistan
The world historian Arnold Toynbee once noted that a foreign culture will resist perceived or real attack on their religion more than any other attack that might otherwise leave them without a will to resist. We know that cultural adaptations follow economic change positively and economic changes follow cultural changes generally negatively or destructively. In seeking to permanently change the economic causes of comparative poverty and Moslem terrorism on the United States from Afghanistan or Pakistan it is improvident to implement policy goals primarily through military means. Military changes radicalize a culture stimulating its culture toward violent catastrophe based transitions rather than stability without asymmetric condign state oppression-state dictatorship of clerics, bureaucrats or families.
The U.S. political policy should be to design highly adaptive steady-state green economic procedures for second and third world countries that can be transfered and implemented at comparatively low cost for the United States. It would be far more cost effective compared to the highly inefficient largely military approach of American occupation relying on building sycophants of the global corporatist economic infrastructure. That costs hundreds of billions per year versus two or three billion development costs for a steady-state economy in Afghanistan or Pakistan. The trouble is of course that the U.S. Government hasn't got a clue about how to develop a steady-state economy in a second or third world country. Instead it employees hundreds of thousands in the war industries with extremely high tech and costs wrecking the opportunities for life development of millions of American citizens.
More efficient, less costly military procedures to arrest foreign terrorist need to be innovated along with readily transferable solid-state economic and energy packages for second and third world countries that need help. A trickle down of further high tech tools of modernization will inevitably follow over time bring an evolution of culture as the people themselves find their new balance.

A Comment on 'The Greatest Day in History'
In reading the book on the last week of World War One by Nicholas Best named 'The Greatest Day in History' (The London Daily Express called Armistice Day-November 11, 1918 that) I am reminded a little of significant historical events such as the recent trophy hunt of the most wanted terrorist in the world Osama Bin Laden and how they effect public perceptions.
History experienced by many different participants in the final week of the war including soldiers, politicians and civilians from sveral sides remind one of the mini-bird-god's eye view of how so many politicians, soldiers, civilians and other thought at one time, diventegratively, wholistically, fractiously and/or phenomenally the great events of the week.
Contemporary historical events in Pakistan and Afghanistan also afforrd disintegrative social powers and individuals asymmetrically asserting political powers and economic power, or subverting political and economic power, or subverting power in a simultaneous nexus of contemporary history.
Pakistan has myriad parties and terrorist organizations devoted to driving India from Kashmir. Its military and intelligence forces have factions and groups not at all on the same sheet of music necessarily-that is, some of the players support individual initiatives with plausble deniability or even complete covert activty that others in government, military and intelligence know nothing about. An effort to impose a uniform, cookie cutter politcal conformity upon the region by the Unted States that would eliminate formation of terrorism is unlikely for several reasons including but not limited to the fact that the U.S.A. seems like such a rich yet stupid nation that can be defeated or reduced in power simply by forcing it to spend on defese against terrorism. It is also questionable that the U.S. administration and establishement financial elites have a monistic view of Central Asian efforts in the new hyper-dimensional 'great game' already a decade old.
The U.S.A. should dedicate itself to the propositions that all people are created equal unto God, and that the U.S. economy should resolutely improve toward full employment and eological health with home security and justice for all Americans. Many hope that the U.S.A. begins a positive cultural contribution of Afghanistan and Pakistan with transferable steady-state economic packages operable in a hostile social environment and discontinues the military approaches as an ineffective means to bring cultural progress. It create a temporal displacement of power that resumes because of an inconclusive resolution of underlying reasons for conflict in Afghanistan as in Europe in 1918. World War Two-the bigger brawl-was the second round of the first world war.
American demands on Afghans and Pakistanis for conformal political organization absent of terrorists to a certain extent disregard the tactical issues of the region that drive Pakistan to support terrorism in Kashmir and Afghanistan as a way to de frappe Indian hegemony, and Pakistan's constitution requires Shria law.
The ongoing idiomatic logic of Washington politicians to prosecute wars of cultural transformation for decades can lead as readily to the destruction of U.S. cultural health as it can repress and radicalize civil life of people abroad that have zero prospect for affording the expensive American way of life to the satisfaction of the financial service and banking sector that led the mortgage default crisis.

President Obama Sends River Flood to Missouri
The Federal Government sapped a levy holding the Mississippi River back out of Missouri to save a town in the President's home state of Illinois from potential flooding. Demographic, utilitarian political choices are exemplified-the greatest good for the greatest politician determines the political decision. If Harry S. Truman were President would he have made the same decision, or would Illinois have been inundated?
For several years environmental scientists have studied the idea of allowing the Mississippi River to flood naturally instead of trying to force it into a levied drainage ditch; not only unrealistic, its bad for fishing and hunting as well. The method used by the government to use the flood control method of flood diversion needs improvement.
Select areas might be designated for high-water flood control overflow and special gates installed to allow flooding from a given level rather than at a zero level as results when a levy is blown. Perhaps only a few feet of water off the top needed to spill over instead of flooding it down to ground zero.
Horizontal river spillways of lower height than other levies along the Mississippi might be built along with a comprehensive overflow spill control design to channel future floods into constructive ends. Farmers and others in these areas should know the potential high water mark and build accordingly. The federal government might compensate farmers for years when their fields are flooded because of high water. The government should also notify farmers adequately in advance of floods so expensive farm equipment can be moved. If homes and other structures must be built in flood overflow areas, they should be built on concrete piers, be able to float or be set on survival islands with rip rap rock around them.
Overall, I would give the Army Corps of Engineers and D grade donated by the Administration for a failure to better plan for Mississippi overflow spill control. We know from the failure of levies in the Katrina disaster that the Congress values spending billions for foreign kinetic military actions over funding the Corp of Engineers to work with ecological analysts to improve the United States.
When obvious flood control overflow is possible-even the Indians of Cohokia of A.D. had the good sense God gave them to build near St. Louis in a location where there pyramids could survive for a millennia without being flooded by water (the human flood of insensitive development overtook them)-the U.S. Government should use and implement new flood control overflow spill control planning with synergetic, beneficial effects on the environment and farm prosperity.

Osama Bin Laden Killed in Pakistan
In the non-fiction book 'Hunting Bin Laden' author Rob Shyltheis describes the most likely hideout of the designer of the September 11, 2001 attacks on the United States as a compound in the northeast mountains of Pakistan. The compound is described in detail. The terrorist was killed Sunday. U.S. reliance on fossil fuels continues special vulnerability to global terror on the U.S. economy.
http://www.amazon.com/Hunting-bin-Laden-al-Qaeda-Winning/dp/1602392447
Osama Bin Laden may have lived in Pakistan with the protection of Pakistani intelligence. Evidently Osama Bin Laden was located at a reasonable facsimile of the compound of literary note in Abadabad Pakistan. U.S. intelligence is said to have followed up a lead from August 2010 (did they read the book 'Hunting Bin Laden' published in 2008 or 2009?) that led to an an assault by a few Americans Sunday-reportedly a Navy Seal team The U.S. Government buried Bin Laden's body at sea after sampling the D.N.A. for confirmation. Such a quick disposal will leave room for some to wonder if, as in the absence of Hitler's body for public review, if he really was killed.
It would have been more satisfactory if Os had been captured with a high tech area knock out method and returned for interrogation. When Lee Oswald was killed quickly by Jack Ruby and unavailable for debriefing, it closed off a lot of leads and left many unanswered questions.
A decade has been spent chasing Os Bin Laden at very high opportunity cost to domestic U.S. development enriching a world of global corporate contractors. Os Bin Laden was finally killed as if on schedule as the U.S. is slated to pull out military forces from Iraq this year and supposed to withdraw forces from Afghanistan by 2014 while a new kinetic military action has begun in Libya creating more work and cash transfers to the military-industrial complex.
This is not rocket science or the deployment of more advanced space propulsion systems. More efficeint, lower cost methods of defending U.S. physical and economic property and civil rights need to be developed alternative to large scale conventional deployment of troops to hunt for global guerrilla spook terrorists, their leaders and broadcast cohorts.
Perhaps the government can plan for withdrawal and reduction of taxable military investments abroad until a future time when kinetic military action is required for proximal defense or preemptive defense against continua of attack. Creating steady-state, green, renewable economic infrastructure in second and third world countries is a better investment than dumping military aid and non-renewable, unsustainable neo-classic economic assistance to upper classes abroad.

A Reminder of the Anthropic Principle in Chaotic Inflationary Universe Bubble Sub-Units
One of the more interesting points that Barrow raises in his book ‘The Constants of Nature’ is that conditions of the anthropic principle-the values of constants, in any possible universe or inflated bubble portion of a Universe that has life must be set fine-tuned to support life. Any new theory-of-everything physical cosmology would need to be fined tuned to support human life in a universe. A theoretical physicist might design a good mathematical theory unifying gravity, quarks, strings, the electroweak and strong forces yet if they change constant values such that life would not arise, the theory must be a wrong description of this actual universe.
As a Christian I should stipulate that God would not set human life, evolving, partly assembled or arriving fully assembled, into any Universe that could not support life.
Recent speculation has found evidence against inflation as a fact of cosmological mechanics, or at least problems with it, even so, considering principles that apply to any given universe such as a chaotic inflationary one provide a modal logic of neccessity criteria in support of the anthropic principle's validity.
It may seem obvious-that the physical constants must be such that stars can form, that the size of space and its rate of expansion fit the strength of gravity and so forth at such a pace that life can occur. Even the values of string theory would need to be such that they yield values for all the physical constants of the Universe letting stars and galaxies to form, and live to a certain age, yield elements in the right proportions such as carbon from three helium atoms forming beryllium on the way etc. There are numerous observable values for the Universe that would need to cohere within a new theory that would unify general relativity with quantum mechanical criteria.
It is somewhat useful to compare the half million versions of string theory with U.S. foreign policy. For each possible theory about intervention in the middle east or other Moslem nations that might be regarded as one version of string theory with hypothetical constant values there are still about a half million others with different values-and in foreign policy a localized political theory of everything tends to not have a valid, comparable anthropic principle in it for which democracy, peace, prosperity and a good environment result. Instead, war weapons are transferred, people die and a new corrupt government with unpredictable future conduct in a chaotic political sub-unit bubble develops. Deficit spending on inflationary political sub-unit universes with subtle adverse quantum fluctuations tend to create values adverse to life for the unemployed in the U.S.A.-a trivial concern to Washington D.C. theoretical politicians.
Another interesting point in Barrow’s 2002 book is that in the particular case of life on Earth, even a moon was required to offset the more extreme changes in tides and temperature that would occur from the procession of the Earth’s axis without it. Also Earth has a magnetic field to help keep its atmosphere on. I hadn’t realized that Mars lost its atmosphere because it hasn’t got a magnetic field to deflect particles from the sun that blew it away. Has N.A.S.A. got any plans to design an artificial planetary magnetic field for that magnetically under-privileged neighbor planet?

Deficit spending on inflationary political sub-unit universes with subtle adverse quantum fluctuations tend to create values adverse to life for the unemployed in the U.S.A.-a trivial concern to Washington D.C. theoretical politicians.
Another interesting point in Barrow’s 2002 book is that in the particular case of life on Earth, even a moon was required to offset the more extreme changes in tides and temperature that would occur from the procession of the Earth’s axis without it. Also Earth has a magnetic field to help keep its atmosphere on. I hadn’t realized that Mars lost its atmosphere because it hasn’t got a magnetic field to deflect particles from the sun that blew it away. Has N.A.S.A. got any plans to design an artificial planetary magnetic field for that magnetically under-privileged neighbor planet?

Obama vs Ryan (again)
The last time Barrack Hussein Obama up against a Ryan he won by default. That was in the Illinois 2004 race for the U.S. Senate. Now U.S. Rep. Paul Ryan is the Republican party's preferred challenger versus Barrack Hussein Obama-its as if they want him to win.
I once had a dog named Clancy. He was a nice puppy that I couldn't take with me on the road so I had to give him away to a nice home. later I read the brillliant Tom Clancy novels, yet I never dreampt that the U.S. public would need make believe political fantasy figures in politics of the absurd to persuade them that their government really cares about anything besides enriching the rich.
Running a Tom Clancy hero figure approxie popular political leader as a kind of Jersey Generals against the Globe Trotters isn't really such a bad idea to assure that corporate policy goes through without blame if Barrack Hussein Obama is giving the Republican party nearly everything the rich want in leadership. And I must say that Paul Ryan has the kind of big hair that a Tom Clancy hero ought to if he is going to work for the U.S. Government (well in the late 80's and early 90's at least-now it might be a moslem afro-american named Jinghis from the south pacific region allegedly if the C.I.A. hasn't cooked his birth certificate).
Somehow the political budget will work out in 2011 with the Republicans making hoo haw interminably about letting the poor cut-n-stitch up their own guts when they need abdominable surgery and to quit shamming in emergency rooms at the expense of hard-working CEOs taking millions of dollars in bonuses from federal bank bail out packages.
I suppose the Congress will in some way trim the poor who are increasingly so much lint like externalities to the suave global corporate capitalist set running the U.S.A. with a fine corporate Harvard product front man.

Prospects for Good Jobs for All Americans in Decline
Pragmatic job quality considerations should apply in regarding the realistic value of the opportunities for employment in the U.S.A. The prosperous not uncommonly have a 'let them eat cake' attitude toward job availability in the U.S.A. instead of anywhere globally returning highest personal profit. Like a sardonic pimp they may say that job quantities are more numerous than people available to fill them. People are real however, while mind and ideas about work for others possible in distant locations outside locality that the prosperous might imagine are easily accessible are not restricted to real, physical actualization.
I looked for a job in Anchorage Alaska for an entire year and could find nothing at all-not even in the seafood processing business. Sleeping in a tent in January I was supposed to go to Dutch Harbor to process fish for a Japanese corporation but the Seattle office kept telling me that they could not give me the itinerary to fly out via email like the had everyone else. Eventually they sent the itinerary to Wrangell Alaska about 700 miles away-completely useless. I spent the rest of the winter sleeping on the ground in a tent in Anchorage walking ten miles to the employment office and library on job searches without luck.
Possible numbers of jobs do not correlate to numbers of jobs that would actually better the situation of the unemployed.
President Bush said;'I have opinions of my own-strong opinions-but I don't always agree with them'. The prosperous may have strong opinions with or without understanding. Sometimes they need to reverse those opinions.
Some jobs at minimum wage in inner cities can realistically be filled only by those that don't need to pay rent. Some jobs can be filled by people living rent free with others, or perhaps by members of a given race living in ghetto housing paying very low rent that would be off-limits to other races.
The costs of travel and relocation to minimum wage jobs can bring immediate front-loaded increases of risk and loss of peripheral quality of life factors. It is also dubious that a family should relocate across the nation to an unfamiliar area to take one minimum wage job.
I personally rode a bike about 30,000 miles in the U.S.A. between 1994 and 2008 looking for regular, quality employment that I never did find. Instead I eventually transitioned into self-employed sporadic house painting and writing while continuing to search for some quality work. Not even 'dirty jobs' unless, one means illegal or immoral positions were commonly available . I have even worked recycling bottles in the Alburquerque plant-and that can be a very dirty job, and am not put off by working with trash of low or high quality. Being alumni of the Army chemical corps at least instructs one in cleaning up messy places.
One can scour the nation for work for years and find not even minimum wage jobs during good times as rare as bottles of ice water in the Mojave desert (a truck actually stopped and gave me several bottle of those when I was resting with my bike on a guard rail in the desert one hot August day). There are numerous factors that can make finding and keeping minimum wage work very difficult, and the reception that workers of different backgrounds, races, ages, education and health get can vary radically.
The U.S. economy today has an increasing element of decreasing money multiplier values from the people with concentrated wealth. In fact the U.S. economic structure today increasingingly exits simple to concentrate wealth amongst materially non-productive classes without passing reaching the hands of the poor. Banking, finance and Wall Street managers typically do not employee Americans directly when they have capital as might a prosperous farmer hire more hands in the 19th century. Instead they invest the capital abroad in foreign production. Wall Street corporate earnings today are at the highest level since 2001 yet real net job losses continue in the U.S.A., and only 57% of working age Americans are employed.
The immaterial, high paid sector charging fees on everything besides breathing creates only jobs in a service sector to itself at low wages. They may create these jobs only as a way to mollify the restive public. The Government administration of economic investment of effort has been lousy since the end of the cold war.
Before the 2008 banking-mortgage-insurance crisis and federal bailout the financial sector took 40% of Wall Street profits. The non-materially productive sector that dominates the U.S. economy is creating a two-class society of those insiders with easy money compounded through investment and financial networks, and everyone else.
As economists have pointed out machines and electronic technology have made it possible for very few people to produce all of the material needs required to sustain life. In fact a few inventive scientists may create an entire industry. Capital investors may need to merely finance a new technology corporations soon bought in to by other insiders to create more product output-probably in a nation abroad with cheapest labor globally. The local economic multiplier values of the dollar changing hands in America by the financial, banking and capital investment sectors can therefore be very low. Only as the non-material working class sector develops a scheme to employ more in service to itself with more luxury and power, medical support and so forth does it pass dollars along to the poor or working class searching for employment. And then it also allows millions of illegal aliens in to the nation to keep labor costs down. Even the housing bubble seems in retrospect to have been a rope-a-dope way to sell home mortgages to foreign interests such as the Chinese communist party.
