Economic Analysis Necessarily Is Political

Economic policy analytic is necessarily political. Global economics isn't democratic. The most rich are best able to exploit it. An economist may be talking on American radio or television with comments that may be completely anational and empirically global . The economist may be irrelevant to national concerns of citizens.

It is the poor and middle class that stand to benefit the most from nationalist economics. Yet because of the Clinton's Yale-Oxford Boston takeover of the Democrat party and the Bush-Romney ultra-elite hegemony over the Republican Party the United States may be said to have a no-party system with Donald Trump possibly trying to upset the status quo.

Back in the day when the U.S.A. was a somewhat isolated power economists could reasonably talk about economic policy without concern for the globe except for matters of tariffs on trade goods and the value of foreign currencies based on their gold holdings. Today of course that has all changed and economists may default to planetary economic criteria concerning labor available globally, planetary transport costs of distal manufactured goods, tax rates in various nations on currencies in other nations, etc. Manipulating international politics and supporting various conflicts abroad directly effects economic criteria exploited by global economists for the benefit of investors in international markets comprising holdings of the plutonomy (the upper 5% of the 1%).

Economics for the benefit of U.S. citizens differs from economics for the benefit of plutonomy or economics for the benefit of the dar al Islam. Economic policy for the benefit of Russians differs from economic policies designed to benefit Argentinians or Mexicans. National economic policies are the sole direct approach to intentionally benefiting national citizens yet many may benefit indirectly, sometimes from regional politics.

Presidential candidate Ted Cruz is a natural Canadian citizen. If elected President of the U.S.A. he would also technically be a subject of the British Empire and complicate ancient ideas about the legality of the American Revolution against the King. He might also enable the United States to consider a legal annexation of Canada through a consolidation procedure involving business transcendence of boundaries. As a Canadian citizen and subject of the Queen Ted Cruz could exploit NAFTA from both sides of the border and possibly get elected President of Canada simultaneously and agitate to make Canada the 51^st state. Economic policy necessarily is political.

Environmental issues are another factor determining economic definition and relevance to national citizens. There is an entire academic discipline concerned with the objective state of natural resources and human economic interaction with them that objectify the value of those resources and the real cost to society of degrading and/or depleting them. Environmental economics is not just a preference for green or renewable resources that don't pollute.

An economist may be global, regional or national, she may be an environmental economist or not, she may be a socialist, a corporatist, an unlimited existential capitalist or a reformer with a preference for a new synthetic economic method of her own invention. One could make a table to show some of the varieties or combinations of economic viewpoints and recognize some of the confusion that goes abroad through the broadcast media and publishing world when various economic analysis and remedies are advanced to the public.

There are many short-term existential economists it seems concerned with short-term phenomenal changes to various  disingenuous government measured statistics of inflation, employment, value of bonds, treasury notes, public debt, tax rate and so forth with various theoretical filters for interpretation also based upon their own choices for economic viewpoint. Many of those are what the public gets in the U.S.A. today. It is a sort of possession is 9/10ths of the law sort of economics, rather than one of cold, rational objectivity for the good of the people and environment.

Where Nothing Disappears (poem)

Why Vladimir Putin Is An Admirable Historical Figure

President Vladimir Putin is an admirable historical figure. Well, that settles that. Putin is comparable to the Tsar Boris Godunov who led Russia during a serious 'time of troubles in the latte 16th century

Boris Godunov https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boris_Godunov

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Russian_rulers

Some presidential candidates such as Marco Rubio have criticized Donald Trump for saying Putin is an admirable guy, yet Trump is right. Of course Americans have made it a knee-jerk requisite patriotic necessity to have Russia as at least a sort-of foe since the cold war. It is difficult to teach an old dog new tricks and American politicians love to hate Russia or at least its leaders if they don't kiss hut of the U.S. government.

Putin has needed to keep Russia strong and rebuild it during its time of greatest weakness. defend Russia against the west seeking to take its historically Russian lands and threats from Muslims, terrorists and of course China, and deal with the the Russia mafia as well. There were more threats and a requirement to keep people from starving too. No American President since F.D.R. have faced a fraction of the challenges and overcome them without complete failure. Instead, given all the opportunity in the world and immense military power after the end of the cold war in january 1990 the United States has built its public debt to 20 trillion dollars, continued to mess up te environment and get engaged in protracted foreign conflicts directly and indirectly that were avoidable. They also let the world economy nearly crash with banking and mortgage horseshit through deregulation and political stupidity.

A somewhat Tsar-like President is not a good thing except in comparison to what might have been instead to take an idea from Churchill.

One hopes the U.S.A. evolves some competent leadership one day ad that Russia evolves a perfect democracy with a good environment however I think that may take some time.

Presidential Candidates May Make 'Phony' Campaign Promises

With the lawyers attacking Donald Trump in and out of the debates and establishment Republicans calling Donald Trump a 'fraud' and a 'phony' it is worth recalling that it is politicians themselves making the claims, and politicians habitually make phony and fraudulent campaign promises. The disingenuous insinuation of political veracity of the accusatory candidates makes for a chuckle.

Candidate Trump standing amidst two lawyers that are professional arguers and polemicists too in a sense enjoys an experience something like being attacked from two pit bulls while riding a bike with them biting at each foot, and Trump has the prospect of the Democrats lawyer team of the Clintons ahead. It is somewhat amazing to me that he can actually enjoy the challenge.

Yet as serious as are sins of commission in making false campaign promises are, equally bad are the sins of omissions such as candidate Obama made in concealing his willingness to legalize homosexual marriage. If he had made that known in 2008 it is doubtful that he would have been elected, and neither would Hillary Clinton have replaced Obama since she too supports the abomination.

I should explain that I have heard a couple of jokes recently. One is the perennial one of 'What is the difference between a hippo and a zippo? One is heavy and the other a little lighter'. The other joke was on the radio. it was reported that a school board candidate believes President Obama was a homosexual prostitute in his 20's. In order to earn some extra cash I would guess. Yet I wonder where people gt that kind of idea or if it is just made up out of thin air.

Iit may be that most candidates are so daft rather than disingenuous that they have no idea about the potential for implementing policies that will cost unforseeen trillions. Such guesswork and blindness to national economic situations is considerable it seems.

I especially like the idea that the candidates other than Trump are competent on foreign policy. They may be able to tell Botswana from Argentina or Peru from Canada, yet they generally support incompetent Middle Eastern policy and Ukraine policy too that costs the nation a lot and Europe too in lost potential. None have solid Mexico policy that would stop all illegal immigration yet help develop Mexico quickly with a green and sustainable economic assistance and full employment policy. Instead they seem to prefer the decadent (literally) policy of corruption.

Romney Begins Werewolf Campaign Against Trump

Mitt Romney like his late fellow Massachusetts political cult leader Ted Kennedy who attacked Democrat front runner President Jimmy Carter in the 1980 election, appears to be trying to divide his party and let the opposition take the victory in the fall Presidential election. It seems an example of the Republicrat corporatist kickback network at work in Congress in recent times.

Romney was the elitist loser of the 2012 Presidential election and apparently cannot relinquish the spotlight. He may hope that someone will suggest he enter the race to save the party. His may be a back-door plan to run for President again on the cheap since the Cruz and Rubio campaigns aren't as popular as cold wet noodles with mildew and rotten tomato sauce.

Romney is expected to serve up some live escargot nuggets of political banality today in a speech claiming Trump is a fraud and a con artist. When the establishment convicts people without due process of law it is especially onerous to hear. Rubio should know better since he has a law degree. The law is generally a sufficient tool in high-profile cases to arrest perpetrators. When officials of the court convict by decree without resonates in fascist harmony. 

Why the Republican & Democrat Establishment Fears Donald Trump

The Republican and Democrat party establishments fear Donald Trump. Those parties are preponderantly insider special interest kickback collectives heavily invested in the globalist financial networks. Trump is largely self-financed and not sold out to favor-traders nearly so far as career politicians that haven't an original thought in their double-spaced and appropriately marginalized minds..

The United States today is something of a declining bureaucratic power servo unit to the ultra-rich. The party establishments seek preferred positions at the teats of financial power and look upon Trump who can afford to go buy milk at a store as a threat to the complex social hierarchy of fiscal sucking.

The 2008-2009 Federal and Federal Reserve financial bail-out of Wall Street cynched up Mussolini-Hitler's political hybrid invention of corporatism. It is not ultimately an efficient system as government theory corrupts free enterprise and political liberty.

I've invented a hybrid political philosophy myself based on ecological economics that remains free enterprise based yet has a guaranteed minimum income and low-entropy criteria for review of business developments. Corporations would also be limited to 5000 employees. The most rich could only have 300 times the wealth of the most poor. Civilizations needs to tighten up. Business that restored lost ecospheric health would be prioritized. A no-net loss of ecosphere policy would be applied to business zoning. Different value theories would replace the one with simple excess consumption and indifferent regard for social and environmental harm in order to get more hamburgers or cash than one could consume in millions of lifetimes.
