Reading a book on the subject of infinity is a good way to regard quantum units I would guess. Quantum units as points of a given qualitative size or as segments sampled of infinite waves seem to be what much of quantum mechanics is about. It is considered that such smaller objects comprise the universe.
So the idea that strings arise as theoretically simpler ways of arresting the infinite reductionism of particles has arisen. If one has a loop or quantum string it is circle and thus infinite in one dimension at least, whereas a point particle has no comparable limit of reduction of its smallest interior size.
I think the quantum string or loop concept is admirable. One may have quantum spin vectors of infinite positions in infinite dimensions and yet contain it within a given area that is the quantum string.
Still, I think the quantum strings would be like cut out silk screening prints abstracted from a monistic continuum of some kind rather than as pluralistic quantum quite independent yet forced together by some greater force such as gravity. Quantum string behavior in the space-time and dimensions of the observable universe of experience may be a nominal appearance for others given unto humanity by God.
And so I also wonder about pluralism in economics and of capitalism. Values and value theories about worth and the best social methods of attaining those objects or circumstances of worth have evolved long after the passing of Adam Smith into a kind of discrete yet macro-socially concatenated pursuit of pluralistic units instead of a continuum or continua of value. Maybe economic analysis is simpler when assigning worth to discrete quantities or packets of quantities, yet I think the good continuum is inherently of more value and the likely true object or goal that Adam Smith worked to produce as a social good for the English people of his day.
Contemporary economics seems to have less ability to contemplate economic value continua than it does process the trade of individual and concatenated quantities of pluralist product constructions. Continua could include the ecosphere or continent traversing free 1000m.p.h low entropy mass transit systems, or even clear running streams running through major cities. Continua contain entire quality of life space-time worldliness and spiritual values while pluralist quanta have implicitly variegated and disconforming space-time values and qualities. Sometimes it is requisite that material quantum production units have course flow modifications to integrate with existing continua of high value. I am sure that Adam Smith believed that economic quanta were for the purpose of serving the direct good and advancement of socio-economic continua rather than displacing it.
So one may also believe that intuition leads to an assumption that discrete quantum unit hypotheses might be efforts to describe emergent phenomena of a deeper and holistic continuum with or without an arrow of space-time.
The spoken Word of God that conformed emergent existence to an intentional ordinality was already in existence before the local start of universe with time and the change of entropy. What the nature of God is for-himself probably cannot be inferred from the contingent characteristics of the Universe inclusive of the reasoning of the human mind-perhaps the most complex structure in the Universe. Like the monads of conjecture described by Gottfried Leibnitz, the irreducible quantum loops or spheres of however many dimensions are set within a continuum contingent upon the eternal will of God. Descriptions of the structure of the Universe bring us more data to regard in our experience of God and His placement of nature.

Nature's Happy Economic Guides
One of the wonderful things about life in the United States is the prospect of perennial job insecurity. Nature provides us with perennial insecurity of course and lack of federal financial regulation of Wall Street helps support nature.
With uncounted numbers of dark wandering planets flung away from stars flying about space we may be assured that one may mass near enough to Earth one day to rip the continents apart with its gravity and literally make mountains fall into the sea. Even now complex financial products on The Street may be set to leverage a buy out of the new high tech factory in North Dakota scheduled for the year 2040, part it out and relocate its core guts to China.
In 2012 another President guided by the Chicago School and conservative Harvard globalists may be elected to carry on the elimination of the U.S. working class and relocate the poor beyond the U.S. border in order to convert the U.S.A. into a nation of middle and rich Americans with foreign guest workers to do the media tasks.

Progressive Spirit (poem)
Green developments on the crust
plate techtonic margins rise like rust
shaken not stirred
regulated by natural reason the whirred
flows through six days of addition
creation multipliers
constructed cells of packaged energy
in apparent void the chamber is dark
with many miles to go before it sleeps
its poetry of visions analogous to dreams
constructed in a field of force
stages of quantum spin vectors course
half lives of wages
Shakespearian stages
version 1.0 for progressive spirit stays.

Corruption of N.Y. Marriage Laws Wrong Way to Force Zero Population Growth
The liberal use of abortion and homosexual hostile expropriation of marriage to discourage heterosexual marriage is not a good way to reduce U.S. population growth. Marriage ought to be left rationally heterosexual and the dissimulative revisionist of falsehood avoided. Homocouples could create their own new institutions without destroying the existing.
Concern about overpopulation since the 1960's and Paul Erlich's publication of 'The Population Bomb' has brought planned parenthood and a number of social organization to work to cut pregnancy in the U.S.A. As has been noted a generation was aborted in the U.S.A. after passage of Rowe vs. Wade. The number could read like McDonald's hamburger signs of yore with numbers of millions or billions of hamburgers sold (or infants aborted for z.p.g.).
Italy provides an example of a modern nation with negative population growth due to prosperity. Italy hasn't egregious abortion or homosexual leveraged corruption of marriage. It is known that in a prosperous economy women choose to have only one kid and dozens of pairs of shoes, an SUV, cell phone etc. Since U.S. population growth is primarily from illegal Mexican immigrants the best idea to halt U.S. population growth is to halt Mexican immigration.
Stop illegal Mexican immigration to the U.S.A. and create full employment in the U.S.A. with a recovery of the health of the ecosphere and biodiversity. Then help Mexico attain zero population growth through Mexican prosperity and border security. With no one child per family in Mexican families there will be no surge of Mexican youth to infiltrate over the border to undermine standard of living wage increases for poor working Americans.
Mexican prosperity on an ecospherically rational, biodiversity conserving, low entropy foundation is the key to reigning in that nation's high population growth rate that sends its excess youth north to build poverty and chaos in the United States and taking jobs, send cash south.
The Chicago School of economics and the Friedmanian neo-con crank realism with wrong theories about the natural rate of unemployment, incorrect modal economic assumptions and technical proprietary leveraging of political economy for the benefit of corrupting capital manipulators likes cheap, below minimum wage labor and the concentration of wealth. Those people seem to live in an existential economic fantasy world where rational political empirical goals are verbotten.
The rise of an investment banking, securities trading financial class the past 40 years that contribute to the U.S. economy in a fashion similar to the contribution of Internet hackers looking for weaknesses to exploit infused inefficiency and insecurity into the U.S. employment scene. If the United States continues to develop its economy mainly to concentrate wealth for advantaged financial manipulators and relies upon natural political catastrophes for correction the future will probably have far more negative eventualities and transitions of a less optimal nature, senselessly; in the name of greed.
The Chicago School fabricated a Utopian vision of unregulated capitalism with unrealistic ideas about market and price equilibria and the natural rate of unemployment. Full employment may develop in a society if production increases occur from a stable workforce without inflation. The rise of wages and executive compensation need develop proportionately to facilitate increased demand and production cost. The key elements to inflation free full employment are stable or reduced production costs, honest employment compensation and the intelligence of the people; dumb people can only figure out a limited number of was to make a sow's ear from a silk purse. The hostile takeover, leverage market packaging of financial products to increase executive compensation while largely reducing intelligent production is definitely the wrong way to go.

Buy Recommendation for 'The Age of Greed' by Jeff Madrick
This is that one great book explaining everything wrong about the U.S. economy you should read. Published in 2011, The Age of Greed is a story of how financial skill overpowered manufacturing, research, development, and stability while skyrocketing C.E.O. pay, cutting employee pay and health benefits emasculating American labor and national economic health. The financial sector profited richly converting manufacturing and housing sectors into securities for resale in derivatives and tranch protocols..
Corporate mergers and employee downsizing to produce short term profit, junk bonds, leveraged buy outs, hostile takeovers, deceptive accounting, federal deregulation of finance, bad economic theories-'The Age of Greed' has it all. Chapter by chapter biographies of leading characters and their contribution to the downfall of the U.S. economy add up to portray something of the way things are today; a.f.u.
Easy to read and a fascinating page turner serving almost as an introductory course to basic Wall Street and Government scam techniques, the reader learns through expert analysis how creative and confident financial experts took down the U.S. economy in 2008-2009.

The Trouble With the U.S. Economy is Too Much Financial Deregulation
For many Americans the deregulated economy has made Wall Street seem a kind of Enron, Global Crossing or Long Term Capital Management generally with ever new ways of misdirecting U.S. investment to billionaire stock option accounts abroad instead of producing goods.
Americans lost about 13 trillion dollars of value in the 2009 Wall Street reshuffle. That makes it more difficult for thte unemployed to have capital to invest in a garden patch or small business and paradoxically increases the vulnerability of Americans to the increasingly deregulated U.S./Global financial systems which stands ready to deliver another knock down punch to American industry and ecological economics should it get up off the canvas.
From engineer-CEO's manufacturing goods with a regulated financial sector in the 1960's the economy transitioned steadily to a business environment commodified and traded like stock portfolios deregulated banks, brokerages and insurers merged and were taken and madeover into fewer and larger firms. The broadcast and entertainment industry became sycophants of corporate controller's will. The management class made profits through cutting costs and firing workers rather than creating new products. Workers were regarded as exploitable profit units and expected to pay for their own health care and retirement. In fact society had to pay for the medical costs and food stamps of poorly paid workers.
Sub-prime mortgages and packages of derivatives issued by deregulated conflict of interest banks and trading firms made short term profit with bad loans passed on to investors. American home mortgages were bought and bundled for sale around the globe. Politicians accomplished a form of national treason through financial and stock trading deregulation with support from unpatriotic or economically illiterate conservative egoists and liberal redactors of reform interpreting freedom as corporate servility.
The deregulated financial industry followed Internet and optic cable global crossing lines to investments abroad. The prospects for reducing unemployment and increasing the income of ordinary Americans declined as even politicians accepted a deregulated financial sector and concentration of wealth as the highest existential good; they would be too satisfied looking good with billions of bucks to be aware of the danger to the nation and downturn in long-range national prospects.
Manufacturers found it more difficult to invest in new infrastructure with the prospects for a hostile takeover circling overhead like predator vultures. Politicians invested in American decline by cutting taxes on the rich and slipping regressive tax increases on average Americans. President Carter and Clinton joined Ronald Reagan and G.W. Bush in accelerating deregulation. None had a grasp of economic changes of the time and how those changes would affect the long-term prospects for the United States. Neither did candidates for 2012 express any awareness of the need for a sweeping reformation of the business and finance laws of the United States.

Literature Quants Noticed by 'Nature'
The article on quants researching data in poetry and literature for word use mentioned Google's n-gram viewer that sorts through millions of books to let the interested become informed about the rise and fall of word use.
I suppose the phrase 'a queer congress' may not be used in New York in the future even if it is so as it will evolve into deposition in the hate speech lexicon by a queer congress.
http://www.nature.com/nature/journal/v474/n7352/full/474420b.html
Quantitative approaches to literary analysis are an inevitable consequence of the bureaucratization of any verbose society. The quantitative assault on Wall Street (known as 'The Street') began with Joe Flom and Walter Wriston II, Ivan Boesky, Michael Milken and numerous others regarding real corporations as abstract entities to manipulate financially for profit. Quantitative approaches bring not only profit but occassionally a sense of social prestige and scientific solidity.
It cannot inevitably however see the woods for the trees, through which they run lonely, dark and deep without promises to keep except unto themselves.

Excelsior College/Univ. of the State of N.Y.; Please erase the B.A. degree I got in 1991!
Excelsior College Univ. of the State of N.Y. Albany, N.Y. June 24, 2011
re; Request for deletion of my Bachelor of Arts degree (#----) issued from The University of the State of N.Y. in June 1991.
Please erase from your records a.s.a.p. the Bachelor of Arts degree I received and now deplore from The University of the State of N.Y. in June 1991.
I would like your records and all others reflecting my graduation from the University of the State of N.Y. to be as if I had never taken a degree from The University of the State of New York. I would appreciate acknowledgement from Excelsior College and The University of the State of N.Y. that the degree has been destroyed.
The degree, number ----- of June 1991 was signed by Gov. Mario Cuomo and delivered to P.O. Box 2019 Wrangell Alaska 99929 in June 1991. It is no longer something I want.
The action of the New York State legislature and Executive redefining marriage parameters is offensive to good sense and moral decency. It is misleading and deceptive to the public letting them think I want to have any association with the University of the State of N.Y. after corruption of N.Y. State marriage law.
The New York State legislature in passing a bill to legalize homosexual marriage in New York, supported by Gov. Andrew Cuomo, has created a moral contravention. I do not wish to be associated with the institutions of the State of New York henceforward, and do not want people to believe that I support the political views of the New York State Legislature on marriage.
I believe that democracy should be constructed through free will and choice rather than force. If I had believed in 1991 that the State of N.Y. would ever recognize homosexual marriage I would never have taken a degree from the Regents College/ University of the State of N.Y.
I believe it is the moral duty of the State of N.Y. to free those with a degree they deplore from the onerous relationship of a degree with their name on it issued by the State of N.Y.
I may be the right of a U.S. state to choose to enact perverted laws. It is equally the right of a citizen to sever all ties with such a state so far as possible.
thanks,
Gary C. Gibson

New York’s Legislature Makes Perverse Change to Definition of Marriage
When The Street decided to deregulate marriage in order to pack more youth into cheaper, exploitable employee spaces it required the sort of minimum wage and below, no medical benefits, bankers will loan to corporations they buy stock in logic that let Sam Walton become the largest retailer in the U.S.A.. Perversion may rise to be the top power tool incentive for promotion into the material prosperity so much admired within a retarded human social environment.
Democrats put a new, perverse wine of homosexual perversion into the old wineskin of heterosexual marriage. The Legislature and Governor of New York have successfully broken the meaning of marriage that existed since the foundation of the nation.
One can imagine Nathan Green, Patrick Henry, Alexander Hamilton or George Washington making mincing serpent eyes at lordly British aristocrats-The lord Fairfax’s of America, instead of revolting. In the new corporate ethos in an effort to wheedle an acre or two-a smidgen of five dollar designer coffee with whip cream and egregious frills the gay party might take a different course without substantial human rights reason.
A vague Darwinian politics of natural, amoral phenomenalism has led to a discarding of aretaic and other ethical structures that are valid epistemological inferences in favor of political nihilism. One experiences the transcendence of Kant’s moral imperative through the sheer force of Darwinian naturalism displacing intentional rational human cultural and ethical constructions.
There may be a collateral calculus for the Darwinian realm of evolutionary phenomenal unethics that allows a different and entirely subjectively personalized set of truth values to be used socially and politically in order to confer the greatest advantage upon those of that belief. It is something like a Wall Street commodities and derivatives values approach to trading truth as a constructed product added or subtracted to bids in order to make for a positive sum to-oneself.
If positive whole numbers were to be regarded as abstract units of truth value like a currency, then it would be entirely reasonable to add negative, imaginary false numbers to offset the positive numbers whenever useful-especially in politics, for the Darwinian evolutionary phenomenalists may regard truth as whatever is to their own personal advantage and social values and good as exploitable fictions.
The State Government of New York has opened the door further to diabolical biological transmutation progression from Boston San Francisco and London of the future transitioning the U.S.A .into the village of the damned. Dr. Skinner and Mengele believe they are doing human kind a favor reducing the biomass to better fit existential niches.
Contract law and appropriately labeled news structures might easily have been constructed by devotees of homosexual bonding relationships that would not have attacked the sanctity of marriage. Marriage should have continued as before while new homosexual relationships started their own tradition.
Now is a corrupt and perverse era of the United States. Atheist and greedy secularists seek to reduce human population, destroy social history, degrade the properties of individual civil rights and increase the concentration of absolute wealth and power upon this finite planet with finite resources and plausible deniability.
Approval of depravity to degrade resistant social structures historically coincides with the infarctive narratives of proxy fights for political takeovers. Wall Street financiers have expanded too far beyond the bounds of decency beginning with hostile takeovers followed by leveraged buyouts and a host of deregulations letting social economic equality become ruptured and replaced by impersonal, cold-blooded forces of concentrated immoral wealth hidden behind a camouflage of neo-democratic structures.
The Apostle Paul wrote; “the natural man receiveth not the things of The Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him; neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.”-I Corinthians 2:14.

Raise Taxes & Cut Spending-Pay Off Federal Debt and Eliminate Interest Payments
During the Ford administration unemployment ranged between 8 and 9%. The public wanted new policies to deal with the crisis. Unfortunately financial deregulation by Jimmy Carter and his multiple course reversing economic policy stimulated inflation and decades of financial deregulation undermining the job and political security of the people of the United States.
Paying off the federal debt quicker; eliminating the federal budget deficit creates a two’fer bonus of saving on interest payments on the Federal Debt of near ¾ trillion dollars annually.
Congressional Republicans should compromise and raise taxes on those earning more than $250,000 annually, while Democrats should allow spending to be cut on pork barrel projects. Qualitative easing of federal budget outlays would improve the quality and efficiency of services provided with tax dollars-if a smarter congress can be found.
Eliminating federal debt and simultaneous creation of jobs with federal priority policy adjustments toward ecological economics may discomfit Wall Street abstract financial plundering of corporate material product realism. Yet no one in Washington D.C. may be capable of empirically rational economic leadership and able to eliminate the market inefficiency of the financial and banking sectors draining public and private sector capital. The Congress ought not tolerate extension of economic malaise with public indebtedness.
It might recall Long Term Capital Management’s risk aggregator calculation error and VAR assumptions that let John Merriwether and LTCM take on $125 billion of debt with just $5 billion in capital in 1998 (ref. page 278 ‘Age of Greed’ by Jeff Madrick). Government intervention was again required to arrange a rescue of the deregulated financial sector to prevent a cascade of collapse.
The government life disdaining traditional financial regulation and taxation since the Carter administration in preference for financial deregulation to the advantage of a predatory financial class isn’t good, yet they seem to move farther along that road of concentrating wealth and failing to invest adequately in real material national infrastructure all the time.
Paying off the federal debt quicker; eliminating the federal budget deficit creates a two’fer bonus of saving on interest payments on the Federal Debt of near ¾ trillion dollars annually.

State of the U.S. Economy/Federal Budget Factors Troubles/Jobs
The Present U.S. economic crisis was not a consequence of over-taxation. It is a result of Wall Street deregulation the past 40 years leading the nation through an increasing cascade of financial crashes and increasing public debt.
Inadequate political and economic philosophical competence in government has let a financial/arbitrage, LBO/CBO, derivative gaming of Wall Street promotes a corrupting new class of market predators. The financial predators have expanded the leverage power of abstract capital to exploit their prey of real, material product producing industry. Government never reigned in those predators. In fact Allan Greenspan and a host of other supporters of deregulating the financial sector defeated better philosophical management approaches to governing capitalism for the benefit of the citizens of the United States. My most recent book of reading on this topic ‘The Age of Greed’ by Madrick provided data for a few of the ideas of this post.
Since the Reagan administration U.S. tax rates have been at an historical low going back nearly to the depression era. The massive public debt of the 80’s and 90’s was largely caused by a perfidious deregulatory financial sector investment strategy of dumping debt wherever possible while cutting taxes. The public provided bail outs for numerous corporations and financial businesses the last 30 years and paid for much public infrastructure supporting corporate users such as Interstate highways and airports.
Elite hedge fund managers (George Soros earned 3 billion dollars in 2007) investing for wealthy packs of financial hyenas scouring the globe for vulnerable business and currency prey to kill and devour while real unemployment rate in the U.S.A. may be around 17%. Only 56% of working age Americans have jobs.
Some economists favoring a self-regulating economy without government intervention or governance also support the idea of a naturally high level of unemployment below which inflation occurs. Victimizing the working class is thus regarded as the natural right and duty of those with concentrated wealth benefiting the public by enriching themselves and wrecking the economy of the poor.
I enjoy reading philosophy yet never did get to Ayn Rand’s books. I enjoy more technical or classical works of philosophy and generally avoid books like; Thus Spake Zarthustra, The Communist Manifesto, Mein Kampf, None Dare Call It Treason and so forth running a little too political or anecdotal for my philosophical interest. Still, since many ‘conservatives’ read Ayn Rand’s books with more enthusiasm than I had in reading Anna Karenina so in some future decade I may find a copy of ‘Atlas Shrugged’ to browse’.
As a Russian émigré’ I would guess Ayn Rand was naturally moved to be anti-statist emerging from a Soviet-Tsarist historical background of totalitarianism. Such ideological thesis-antithesis evolutions do not however allow much space for intelligent, adaptive social analysis in political-economy. Economic individualism in pursuit of abstract financial goals that manipulate real property in the wild kingdom can lead to chaos, anarchy, nihilism and general unhappiness on the happy planet; in fact the entire environment can go to pot. George Soros’ challenging environment of upbringing also obviously led him to develop a skill exploiting abstract industrial financial and economic transaction of the market rather than developing new industry.
The conservative investment strategy plundering and giving away U.S. national economic quality and quantity has destroyed labor unions and the progress of income for manufacturing workers. The nation transitions into service workers at lower pay and non-materially productive businesses plus medical care providers. Free enterprise has difficulty surviving hordes of banking and financial predators attacking the manufacturing ungulate herds like the hyena, wolf and cheetah.
The U.S. economy experienced a surge of financial deregulation from the Carter administration letting higher interest rate charges on credit cards to the securitization of mortgages and later Allan Greenspan’s support of collateralized debt obligations and derivatives. The Reagan administration allowed Standard oil to buy Gulf oil during his administration reducing competition in gasoline pricing, and in the Bush II years Wall Street’s major financial firms were allowed through lax regulation and a loose political philosophy of letting the financial market regulate itself to sell derivative and mortgage debt obligations in tranched repayment bond packages to more than 40 times their collateral. The nation had more than 17 trillion dollars in mortgage debt by 2006.
The over-production of house construction and trading of mortgages in a variety of obscure and risky packages to investors allowed Wall Street bankers and traders to collect huge fees-they were stimulated to sell sub-prime mortgages with gouging contract terms to poor buyers doomed to fail at repayment. The financial sector of the economy was soaking up profits and little was being invested in honest industrial and infrastructure growth.
In a way Wall Street invested only in jobs that cannot be outsourced abroad to cheaper production facilities in China. China of course did buy much of the mortgage securities from Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.
Restarting the U.S. housing construction business cycle may be difficult with so much surplus housing the poor and unemployed cannot afford to buy-maybe the homes should be rented at half price rather than stand empty for a loss.
Honest lenders will be at a disadvantage in a securitized housing finance business environment. Deregulation of the recovered financial sector again may encourage a new housing bubble cycle to begin. Creating jobs in new, materially productive non-outsourcable industry would be a preferred direction in reducing the U.S. employment rate. Those jobs could be in building artificial, hollow mountain ranges for housing, business and hydroponic gardening and retail office space etc. The exteriors would resemble natural ecosystems yet collect solar and wind power. Integrated space for non-fragmented ecosystem continuity would exist along the base.
I have been reading ‘The Age of Greed’ by Madrick recently and become more informed of some of the structural problems of Wall Street and government the last 40 years in directing capital into a spaced out financial sector instead of into manufacturing and modernizing infrastructure in the U.S.A. That will be very challenging to correct.
I learned recently that the U.S. Government extended 12 trillion dollars in loan and debt guarantees during the 2007-2008 financial crisis. Merely returning to business as usual-to a deregulated Wall Street environment allowing the domination of investing in financial instruments for profit instead of businesses for themselves will continue to degrade the content of the U.S. economy as traders look with predatory gaze upon anything that can be leveraged for buy out or collateralized, packaged as debt obligation and resold as derivatives. Real manufacturing capital investment is given unnecessary risk and volatility by the corrupt financial market forces, and inventive material genius is degraded in favor of slick financial skimming genius in the deregulated business environment wherein irrational empirical investment priorities are regarded as collectively rational. If the invisible hand of CDOs and derivatives without regulation is regarded as rational, so might that of a robotic arm under the control of a random pickpocketing program.

Ai Weiwei Back on the Street
It is good that the Chinese Governmemnt has released one of their more creative artists, poets and architects from captivity-China can use creative thought as can the rest of the world to help redesign human socio-economic use of land and sea toward ecological renewability and restoration of biological diversity.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-pacific-13878859
It is not that the Chinese Government is especially slow and the United States Government quick-witted on ecological economic leadership and biodiversity conservation and restoration. So far as I am aware few or no governments of the world today are constructing ecologically rational economic structures remotely adequately of meeting the challenges to human survival ahead.
Constructing artificial mountain ranges in which humanity can live with a zero displacement of ecological biota or fauna-even restoring quality habitat, while also creating new ways to grow food perhaps indoors and employ democratic principles to vote on private enterprise proposals submitted for development and approved or rated on low entropy and high social productivity criteria-this will require much development by creative individuals such as Ai Weiwei if human survival is to have a good chance in the centuries ahead on Earth.

A Comment on 'The Age of Greed' by Jeff Madrick and Ecological Economics
This book of review of the decline of the American economy 1970-2011 by Jeff Madrick covers the usual stories of the free market/deregulation overkill that allowed American real productivity to be subverted by wise guy money and finance trading schemes.
Having just read a book 'Where the Wild Things Went' on the decay of the world's biosphere through the elimination of large predators that let the proliferation of small critters occur that in turn over-use the available green resources, I could not help comparing the role of a runaway financial sector unregulated by the conservative belief that all trimming of honest souls is good and the decline of corporate industrial productivity when LBO's (leveraged buy outs) with junk bonds helped pile up U.S. debt. In a way the U.S. public debt is a kind of leveraged buyout of rational economic and political thought.
When successful corporations producing some particular goods with a special genius were undervalued it became even easier to borrow money to buy them up through junk bonds and then sell the parts; subsidiaries, firing employees and so forth after taking over the prey. Over-extended deregulation became a kind of equivalent of allowing the extermination of American wolves, coyotes and so forth that let the deer populations rise an order of magnitude, eat all the flowering plants and others, crash bee populations, deny birds nesting habitat and ruin the health of the forests with even saplings being eaten and only older stands remaining.
Because the Obama generation has been trained to be simultaneously irrational, compliant and greedy I am not optimistic that either the environment or economy will be corrected in a good direction. President Obama has turned his back upon the kinds of innovation that a Roosevelt by have brought to bear to large economic challenges and claims to pre-empt republican leadership on their own goals of creating an irrationally greed driven political and economic system.
It is easy to anticipate that the conservative bulls would be seeking new things to leverage abroad in China, India and elsewhere while concentrating wealth and degrading the quality of life for ordinary people that might formerly have had a reasonably good prospect for a good standard of living.
The conventional U.S. economic posture is light years away from meaningful reforms toward an ecologically rational and balanced physical infrastructure of course. Artificial mountain range housing with wildlife outside wandering upon the slopes, the return of large scale predators controlled by human intelligence and made to live in non-fragmented restored ecosystems. Business models voted upon by democratic processes for actualization through selection for low-entropy effects and improvement of quality of life. Limiting the size of corporations to 5000 employees and the number of corporations any one may invest in to 3. These sorts of things probably will not occur before the end of human life cycle challenges are upon the planet. Oh well.

Female Class Action Suit Against Wal-Mart Rejected
The Supreme Court has rejected Wal-mart's class action suit by female workers as too broad. One wonders if a class action suit by negro slaves would have been too broad as well.

Illegal Alien Was Anchorage Alaska Police Office Six Years
During his six years as an Anchorage Police Officer the Mexican without legal immigration status managed to get 27,000 dollars of Alaska Permanent Fund checks as well.
Obviously his crime did pay for he probably bought a home in Mexico and invested wisely. If Mexican drug cartels are able to infiltrate citizens in to American police departments (this guy probably was just a free enterpriser helping himself and thus meeting the good graces of Wall Street types) as easily as this fellow from Mexico did that would explain why the 'war on drugs' is about as effective as the war on the Taliban.

On Declining Sea Otter Populations in Alaska etc.
Sea Otter Populations in AlaskaThat news item on the decline of sea otter numbers in Alaska floated around in the news a few years ago. It was a peripheral item I wondered about and never got a conclusive answer for if such exists. In the 2008 book 'Where the Wild Things Went' there is a chapter at least partially explaining the phenomena.
I have had my own theories of course. Since the 1989 Exxon Valdez oil spill and later collapse of the Prince William Sound herring fishery, and continuing, persistent oil below the gravel of the beaches and probably in piles in the deep waters I believed that the entire trophic food chain was adversely impacted. Stolzenburger's book provides better insight than just that. It has provided some material I can use in forming my new understanding of several issues in Alaska.
Long before the oil spill researchers and had studied predator-prey relationships in the oceans and the Aleutian islands. Sea otter eat sea urchins that decimate kelp beds.
Without sea otters sea urchins wipe out kelp beds that provide life support for a variety of sea life and fish. Sea otters are necessary for a good fisheries.
Killer whales eat sea otters in large numbers now because they are an intelligent, adaptive species, and also because their traditional foods such as stellar sea lion, whales and healthy fish populations have been decimated.
It isn't so bad that some sea otters are eaten by k. whales, yet too many dead otters let the sea urchin eat the kelp like goats eating grass down to the root. The entire food chain dislocation is theorized to have started with mechanical whaling in the early 20th century that killed a half million larger whales that k. whales preferred for the main course of their diet.
Large numbers of large whales let the entire food chain occupy a more balanced niche without domination by any one species. Sure humans killed the whales and radically overfish the available remaining fish, the salmon fishery in Alaska rivers like the Kuskokwim, Yukon and Susitna is a pale shadow of its former robust health. Russian promyshleniki exterminated the stellar sea cow and a vast prospective copper mine may leach heavy metals into Bristol Bay for hundreds or thousands of years-it is not just one particular element of the ocean ecology that is out of balance-human technical supremacy has devastated the ranks of normal marine trophic relationships that kept natural balances intact.
The long downward slope even through mariculture farming toward destruction of oceanic bio-diversity will be increasingly difficult to recover from in the decades and centuries ahead. Especially as presently Alaska State politics is corrupted by global extraction industry powers and natural resource management policy develop discognizant of biodiversity conservation methods required for recovering a vibrant marine ecosystem in Alaska.
Killer whales evidently are shot by boaters and others with no respect for life on Earth. A shoreline road from Juneau to a mine north of Juneau would let plinkers have new access for shooting whales of a few kinds.
Restoration of North Pacific whale numbers and an increasing resident fish population would let the entire food chain become a little healthier. For numbers of fish to increase overall it is probable that simultaneous management of all north Pacific species must occur as the balances amidst the species is as important to a particular species as vertical human predation quantitative harvest decisions on any particular specie.

Stop Wasting Billions of U.S. Tax Dollars Defending Alaska
The U.S. Government has thousands of armed forces in Alaska that could be discharged or relocated from service here in order to save billions each year of purposeless federal spending.
Fund a moon base for the future instead of Prussianesque military archaism of Alaska. Why spend billions of dollars each year-perhaps for the next decade, to keep a substanl force in a U.S. state without reasonable odds of invasion from Canada, Russia, China or Japan? It might be more reasonable to prep an effective attack counter-strike structure than to spend billions like drunken sailors each year for fear the Aleutians will have hordes of invaders in a few days.
A large military force in Alaska to defend against Moslem terrorists is not a reasonable paradigm, and they are perhaps the main military threat to the U.S.A. today besides congressional debtonomics. The expense of keeping a numerous standing army in Alaska is unnecessary. If we wait until Alaska is attacked before spending money, we probably can pocket the savings for decades and invest it in border security and national bicycle paths..
One wonders why the U.S. Army should have a significant presence in Alaska long after the end of the cold war?
Alaska could create jobs for Alaska residents by spending two billion dollars of its 50 billion dollar permanent fund each year on its National Guard troops instead of providing state workers an extra check from the oil royalty investment fund. The state could create jobs for people that need them instead of free money to some.
If the United States wants to effectively reduce its federal debt it should cut pork barrel military spending in Alaska. An invasion of the state of Alaska isn't likely, and a defense of Alaska with neutron bomb cruise missiles costing a few million each would be less costly over the long run compared to keeping concentrated military forces here that could be similarly depleted en mass by an opposition force nuclear device or two. Maybe Russian nuclear scientists could work with American bomb builders to create a peace through neutron bomb readiness defense arsenal for each nation.
Some are concerned with the moral aspect of military spending. Is it more morally correct to spend less on war phenomena than more if the less costly way comprises neutron bomb deterrence? Christian ethicists might select the same option as a pragmatist in choosing to reduce large present military costs and allow a less costly potential military method-I cannot say. Christian grace might provide opportunity to avoid making such Hobson's choices. Actualization of conflict parameters may not always be understood a priori. Sub-nuclear conflicts may bring more damage than neutron conflicts in some circumstances should the warlike select to activate war scenarios at some juncture.
The U.S. Government should lead its budgeting plans to modern force use criteria that would not break the bank while providing full coverage-at least as good as that the Congress has designed for health insurance coverage for the nation's poor.
Send 50 extra F.B.I. agents, border security and D.E.A. personnel with good field training to Alaska and reduce the cost of stationing thousands of soldiers in Alaska.
In the era of robotic aircraft ahead invading foreign forces can receive an appropriate condign response of neutron bombs reasonable soon after arrival.

The state could create jobs for people that need them instead of free money to some.
If the United States wants to effectively reduce its federal debt it should cut pork barrel military spending in Alaska. An invasion of the state of Alaska isn't likely, and a defense of Alaska with neutron bomb cruise missiles costing a few million each would be less costly over the long run compared to keeping concentrated military forces here that could be similarly depleted en mass by an opposition force nuclear device or two. Maybe Russian nuclear scientists could work with American bomb builders to create a peace through neutron bomb readiness defense arsenal for each nation.
Some are concerned with the moral aspect of military spending. Is it more morally correct to spend less on war phenomena than more if the less costly way comprises neutron bomb deterrence? Christian ethicists might select the same option as a pragmatist in choosing to reduce large present military costs and allow a less costly potential military method-I cannot say. Christian grace might provide opportunity to avoid making such Hobson's choices. Actualization of conflict parameters may not always be understood a priori. Sub-nuclear conflicts may bring more damage than neutron conflicts in some circumstances should the warlike select to activate war scenarios at some juncture.
The U.S. Government should lead its budgeting plans to modern force use criteria that would not break the bank while providing full coverage-at least as good as that the Congress has designed for health insurance coverage for the nation's poor.
Send 50 extra F.B.I. agents, border security and D.E.A. personnel with good field training to Alaska and reduce the cost of stationing thousands of soldiers in Alaska.
In the era of robotic aircraft ahead invading foreign forces can receive an appropriate condign response of neutron bombs reasonable soon after arrival.
