Keynesianism, Public Debts, Deficits & the Under-taxed Upper Class

John Maynard Keynes; an astute observer of his times, formalized a basic function between government stimulus spending and national economic growth. Even during the First World War when times were hard in Britain, and afterwards with an economic slump the upper classes were of course not broke and still had deep pockets. What could be more reasonable than to stimulate the national economy with government deficit spending and tax the rich to pay for it?

Keynes (pronounced Canes) did not of course advertise the unstated principle of taxing the rich to pay for government debt. Franklin implanted the policy well enough during America’s depression to tax the rich at a 90% rate and stimulate the economy out of recession with a number of government programs. In America today however the expression of Keynesian government deficit stimulus spending concurrently with tax cuts on the rich produces only deficits that for the U.S.A. presently are reaching toward 15 trillion dollars. The U.S. congress is not honest enough or intelligent enough to use realistic economic formula to make the economy function.

The economy is a whole. Compared to liquid water, when the rich have siphoned all the water upward to a storage pool in their shining city on the hill and the workers and fields perish for thirst, government policy taps the pool to let the taxes on the rich be a pipeline letting cash liquidity flow downward to fill the race paddies so that vitality and rice may grow. The lofty management class too requires some water in ample quantity to finance their ethereal and mysterious economic contemplations in the sky-towers offices and create their own pipelines to return the water back up the hill. The contentious process of water rights-cash economy rights amongst users in the fields and those living in the cloud towers of the shining city on the hill is an interminable phenomenon.

Once the Un8ited States had F.D.R. and Dwight Eisenhower on their side. Now they have Harvard elites concentrating wealth and power with globalism negating national boundaries and suck-up socialists trampling individualism, individual equal civil nights and free enterprise. Class prerogatives have evolved to eclipse individual liberty. Concentrated wealth became a global network economic power phenomenon merging with one-party politics of the East philosophically (not spiritually because they are spiritually dead).

Sometimes in history a nations wealth may become concentrated to such a point that the economy stall. In a democratic society with free-enterprise values and a modestly egalitarian operating system federal tax policy with Keynesian premises is to then tax and redistribute much of the supply of concentrated wealth to economic stimulus programs via the government. What kind of economic development and who should get the stimulus spending is an equally important consideration.

A 2011 study found that in research on 43,000 corporations a small elite group controlled a third of the world’s wealth. If stimulus programs redistribute wealth to networks of already concentrated wealth the economic stimulus is unlikely to employ the unemployed. The federal unemployment measure of real people out of work that would work if there were realistically productive employment opportunities;U-6, has the U.S. rate of unemployment somewhere near 19%. Federal stimulus policy should always stress funding new businesses that will employ from five to 5000 employees for a year or more (or they can repay the loans that would otherwise be written off).

As much as talk radio and political sound biters like to regard redistribution of wealth for stimulus spending in hard times communism it is the history of 20th century economic progress in the west. The Reagan use of Keynesian stimulus spending stimulated the economy yet the concurrent tax cuts started digging the very deep national economic debt hole that seems destined to go through the Earth to China over time. The myth of tax cuts and stimulus spending performing supply-side miracles might work in a different economic world than the one made of people with 4 or 5 % Neanderthal and Denisovan genes, yet in such a world the stimulus might not be needed anyway because it would not be a democratic society.

The Dead Sea Scrolls Have More

The Dead Sea scrolls hidden by the Essene Community no later than 68 a.d. brought much of the Old Testament of the Bible directly to translators today. There were extra Biblical writings with unknown prophecies by Ezekial, Jeremiah and Daniel. One may get a sense of some of the minor scribal technical changes.

The Apostle Paul is believed to have written many more epistles to churches than were saved by history to go into the Bible. Perhaps some of those might be found one day too.

Faster Than Light Neutrinos Surfing Over Waves in Space-Time Foam?

The experimental evidence for possible faster than light neutrinos arriving in Italy from CERN in Switzerland raises some logical points.

1) If neutrinos travel faster than light how could they be seen at all by sub-light speed beings or their measurements?

2) Is the speed of light measured correctly? There are some variable speed of light theorists out there.

3) Could the actual speed of light be less than absolutely precise? Could it have values rather like pi at the high end that are difficult to measure and give accurate values to that accumulate for neutrinos over enough distance to make them seem faster than ordinary particles or photons measured?

4) If photons exist as fundamental particles in an electromagnetic field, would neutrinos that do not behave the same way?

5) Would photons and neutrinos have the same spin characteristics, and could quantum qualities of each wave-particle slightly alter it travel characteristics through different mediums?

6) If space-time is discrete instead of continuous, and if all matter-energy exists as a discrete field with minute spacing in various scaffolds or structures could neutrinos skip across those possible small dimensions and shortcut to faster arrival times than other particles that exist with different space-time quantum foam dimensional field relationships.

7) Even if neutrinos arrive faster than the speed of light it might not require that they would actually have a faster intrinsic speed than photons.

Can the Bedbug Infestation Be Frozen Out?

Cimex lectularius Linnaeus; the common bedbug is a relentless bloodsucker seeking out human warmth for dinner. Would nitrogen flash freezing be a clean, quick way of eliminating commercial infestations?

Burning bedding, replacing mattresses and other stuffed items for bed bug sanctuaries with materials designed to be inappropriate for a bed bug life-style and professional anti-bug freezing missions could be an effective approach to containment and reduction of the pests.

Ultra-cold is non-persistent chemically and might not be harmful to many material items if applied carefully. It might be worth some technological research to find out if it works very well.

Romney-Jindal or Santorum-Jindal in 2012 May Be the Ticket

One wonders if the north-south combination for President & Vice-Presidential campaigns will develop amidst the Republican Party challengers to the incumbent once again. Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal (a Rhodes scholar but don't hold Oxford against him this time) is a possibly too young for prime-time 41 years old, yet his experience dealing with bureaucracy during the BP oil spill and the hang-over from Hurricane Katrina may have given an advanced course to his undergraduate political desk job as Governor.

Mitt Romney and Rick Santorum are not too insecure to have a quality player on their team. Jindal is no Uncle Tom (meaning no disrespect to all the Thomas' out there in referring to Harriet Beecher Stowe's fine 1852 classic work of literature) or as Malcolm X said 'yard nigger' for display by wealthy whites on the front lawn. Jindal may look a little too much like Prince Charles yet he is a bright guy that has enjoyed the field of Louisiana and real America while also becoming aware of global issues.

In a few years New Delhi will have a million and a half people riding its high-speed trains every day. In the age of atomtricity development the century old fossil fuel automobile technology is generations behind and atmospherically deleterious; Bobby Jindal may be able to work on the Republican side to lead the nation toward a new synthesis of personal transport and advanced mobility theory that would surpass the existing transit paradigms of gas engines or trains.

The U.S. national debt at 14 trillion dollars headed for 20 trillion on the Obama schedule needs a balanced budget in two years and payments of a half trillion a year to pay of in20 or 30 years. Each year the public pays about 3/4 trillion dollars on interest payments and gets nothing for that. The situation will only get worse with another term of President Obama.

Not only do Bush-Obama tax cuts need to expire, so does inefficient federal spending and corrupt over-use of federal programs by the privileged. Besides that, the capitalism needs reform (Adam Smith loathed the East India Company) so competition can be conserved, the world environment needs defense right away and the world population may be 10 billion in just 30 years. While no political party has its oars in the water this decade or last, a Santorum-Jindal or Romney-Jindal lineup may be the best ticket available.

Extinct Denisovan Gives Finger to Science

An extinct human species gave the finger to human scientists of today that enabled the sequencing of the genome of the closest relative to human beings that died about perhaps 40,000 years ago. The Denisovan remains were discovered in a Siberian cave.

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-2098113/Scientists-sequence-genome-Denisovan-caveman-fossilised-finger-bone-Siberian-cave.html

The finger and some teeth date to about 100,000 B.C., yet the Denisovans lived for about 60,000 years elsewhere in Asia. Australian aborigines and New Guineans have aboye 4 to 5% Denisovan genes

The Denisovans are interesting for many reasons. One is their timing in the human schedule of travel to America via the Bering Sea land mass. American indians did not arive here until after 40,000 B.C. by which time the Denisovans were about extinct.

Scientists have discovered remains of homo erectus in Asia dating about 1.8 million years ago. Human beings arrived in the far east it is reported in two basic migrations from about 45,000 thousands y.b.p to 35,000. Then later human beings arrived about 25,000 b.c. Those humans became the Chinese and perhaps pressured migrations across Berengia to Alaska. I would guess that American indians have low or now Denisovan genes.

Modern Europeans have 2 or 3% Neanderthal genes. Of more interest is the idea that the human line originated in Asia as homo erectus and then traveled to Africa only to return 1.8 million years later to loan money to finance the federal debt. One wonders if American President have more Neanderthal genes than Asian leaders who perhaps have neither Denisovan or Neanderthal genomic content evidently. Where are Jerry Ford quality leaders when America needs them?

The Advancing Atomtronic Research Efforts

From the ultra-cold Bose-Einstein condensates developments to more research in moving atoms through ultra-cold mediums the science of using atoms to convey information in 'tame' networks has developed.

http://aaas.confex.com/aaas/2012/webprogram/Paper5813.html

Atomtronics is like electronics substituting atoms for electrons in those circuits and other applications. Spintronics exploits the spin of electrons as well as charge, while atomtronics can exploit entire atoms in a large number of potential applications.

http://www.technologyreview.com/blog/arxiv/25197 'How to build an atomtronic computer'

Atomtronic application are few yet, it is thought they may be useful in connecting up quantum computers and states of entangled particles. Atomtronics present new ways of storing information and making batteries and work best in super-cold environments. One might construct very cold atomtronic quantum computer pure-logic circuits in some deep, cold crater on the moon and input solar power to charge it up.

One might imagine future atomtronics synthetic space systems construction of habitats of interstellar dust or whatever as information and atom processing technology synthesizes where the rubber meets the road.

Al Qaeda and Obama Administration on the Same Side in Syria?

The Obama administtration has so far seemed to back the revolutionaries of 'The Arab Spring' leaping to toss out their oppressive dictators and their concentrated wealth and power. Now that Al Qaeda's leadership have endorsed the Syrian insurgency it is a little more awkward for the administration seeming to be on the same side.

The esstablishment of a Sunni Koran belt from Turkey to Egypt through Syria, the Palestinian territories and Jordan across North Africa to Libya would create a kind of restored Caliphate like that of the or Abbasid in co-religionists, yet it would be something of a democratic social environment in numerous independent states rather than an Emirate.

Paradoxically it the the political philosophy changes in support of globalism preferred by U.S. political elites that would work to end the nationalism in the new democratic states. A logical transition would be an evolution toward an Iranian style congress of Mullahs with a Supreme Guide and perhaps local presidents of each nation as might be the developing trend in the Eurozone without of course, the any religion but godless atheism. Because rule by elites and legislation by the corrupt wealthy elites and judiciary seems to flourish in a global environment without the firewalls of nationalism the preference for creating New Gomorrahs of the American states might find the Emirate as a better political entity for corruption than independent nations.

Because modern U.S. political and economic leaders seem badly historically positioned for the development of good ideas of political philosophy that would conserve world resources and individual, politically cellular boundaries in properties of rights the administration's political context for Middle Eastern revolution may become non-interventionist or even reinforcing insurgencies that former administrations might have opposed.

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/middleeast/syria/9077604/Al-Qaeda-leader-backs-Syrian-revolt-against-President-Assad.html

Well, Isreal may not be so badly set if the Sunni Koran belt is established as it may bring a reduction or ellimination in time of terrorist cadres as conventional governments inveitably purge their ranks to seek after their piece of the global econoomic pie. The trouble with that is the recalcitrant posture U.S. Government leadership has toward being a good example themselves of the things expected or hoped for in the poorer, democratic nations.

China's best in the world economy is done with a one-party system, while America's two party democracy wobbles about piling up debt, failing in educational standards, impoverishing it's poor, polluting the world's sea and sky and establishing global networks of concentrated economic wealth and power that leave most people on the beach watching the smoke on the horizon driving by in expensive cars.

Alaska Land Area Shrinking With Global Warming

Each year Alaska's north slope is receeding by a half a meter as global warming melts the permafrost shoreline. Global sea levels may also rise over time as they continue a trend started in the late 19th century. 2007 and 2011 virtual tied as the Arctic ice cover's minimum size or maximum melt. I would guess that 2012 will be a record setter for icecap loss.

http://www.arctic.noaa.gov/detect/index.shtml Arctic Change

As the Arctic ocean warms it will also become more tempestuous sending storms of greater intensity to low-lying coastal areas. More pollution from more human industrial activity will broadcast deleterious impacts farther abroad in the warming ocean.

President Obama Seeking to Exploit Christian Organizations for African Birth Control Missiology?

With so many Christian organizations doing good works in Africa the idea of using them to bring a contraceptive ethos to Africa might have occurred to the President's ZPG advisers. Liberia and Niger are doubling their numbers every twenty years. The Economist reported in December that by the year 2045 Africa will have more than 2 billion souls. Their demands for consumption of already stressed world resources make the contraceptive crowd fret I would guess.

World population may have already passed 7 billion. By 2050 world population may be 10.5 billion. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_population

One wonders if Christian organizations become perceived by Africans as being dealers of rubbers and birth control pills and devices if they will turn toward Moslem missionaries that may not be as manipulated by their governments in the global condom wars?

China with its billion three hundred million has a stable population as does Japan. Africans are young and enjoy 6 kids per individual in some nations with few people over age 80 or even 40 for that matter. China and Japan are aging populations

It is interesting to consider long range Chinese policy toward the Africans. It is difficult to imagine that either China or Japan-very old racially insular societies, will look toward free borders with Africans who would swamp them, in a friendly way.

For the time being African wildlife seems almost doomed as the people will scour every available resource for exploitation and their governing institutions are weak and prone to violence. It is difficult to image a billion African fossil fuel burning cars in 2050 yet it could happen as low-millage U.S. cars are loaded aboard ships and sent across the Atlantic to off-load unto new African asphalt highways soaking up sunshine to warm the night better.

It will be an interesting future. At the least, new technologies will need to rapidly displace environment and prosperity destroying existing technology in Africa.
