There is a Specter Haunting the American Economy- An Economic Weather Report

There is a Specter Haunting the American Economy...but who can identify it? It's name is increased liquidity at the expense of real economic structures and human need. Again, this always occurs with doctrinal Chicago School Economics. I would like to give the Milton Friedman award to well, Milton Friedman for introducing his students to the world. I hope they either have a plan to turn us into a cashless society on hand, or a plan to develop our own Ludwig Boltzmann floating brain society illustrated here: http://floatingbrain.com/

And discussed here: http://www.nytimes.com/2008/01/15/science/15brain.html

The point being the Chicago school has to change to one more reminiscent of John Kenneth Galbraith (if you are a democrat) or to John Nash (in a perfect world). If it continues in this doctrinal way the middle class will be gone, the productive potential of America will be off shored and the elite will have to manage in a profoundly multi-cultural environment. The way to do it, is not to ensure a race to the bottom, but to encourage a race to the top. This means regulate overseas and deregulate the egregious portions of labor laws here. Instead of subsidies, let us work on restructuring the work potential of each other. John Nash would like that. He would not like the increasing rise and development of anti-free market solutions we are seeing as he viewed them in the context of a political economy and felt that the lack of a free market and its inefficiencies always led to radicalism. Interesting theory. You see dissent in countries that are further to the left or further to the right than you typically do in ones that are cautiously working together.

This is an important point, it means that while history did not end when Francis Fukuyama declared it had, the mechanics of our economy may have started to end as early as 1999. http://www.sais-jhu.edu/faculty/fukuyama/

Either way, the specter is still out there and slathering enough green ink on wall street to ensure that the elite do not get their toes wet. For the rest of us, it is going to be a down pour or a Kondratieff blizzard....

Comment Rescue (?) and child-related gun violence in Delaware

In my post about the idiotic over-reaction to a New Jersey 10-year-old posing with his new squirrel rifle , Dana Garrett left me this response: One waits, apparently in vain, for you to post the annual rates of children who either shoot themselves or someone else with a gun. But then you Libertarians are notoriously ambivalent to and silent about data and facts and would rather talk abstract principles and fear monger (like the government will confiscate your guns). It doesn't require any degree of subtlety to see why you are data and fact adverse. The facts indicate we have a crisis with gun violence and accidents in the USA, and Libertarians offer nothing credible to address it. Lives, even the lives of children, get sacrificed to the fetishism of liberty. That's intellectual cowardice. OK, Dana, let's talk facts. According to the Children's Defense Fund , which is itself only querying the CDCP data base, fewer than 10 children/teens were killed per year in Delaw

The Obligatory Libertarian Tax Day Post

The most disturbing factoid that I learned on Tax Day was that the average American must now spend a full twenty-four hours filling out tax forms. That's three work days. Or, think of it this way: if you had to put in two hours per night after dinner to finish your taxes, that's two weeks (with Sundays off). I saw a talking head economics professor on some Philly TV channel pontificating about how Americans procrastinate. He was laughing. The IRS guy they interviewed actually said, "Tick, tick, tick." You have to wonder if Governor Ruth Ann Minner and her cohorts put in twenty-four hours pondering whether or not to give Kraft Foods $708,000 of our State taxes while demanding that school districts return $8-10 million each?

New Warfare: I started my posts with a discussion.....

.....on Unrestricted warfare . The US Air force Institute for National Security Studies have developed a reasonable systems approach to deter non-state violent actors who they label as NSVA's. It is an exceptionally important report if we want to deter violent extremism and other potential violent actors that could threaten this nation and its security. It is THE report our political officials should be listening to to shape policy so that we do not become excessive in using force against those who do not agree with policy and dispute it with reason and normal non-violent civil disobedience. This report, should be carefully read by everyone really concerned with protecting civil liberties while deterring violent terrorism and I recommend if you are a professional you send your recommendations via e-mail at the link above so that either 1.) additional safeguards to civil liberties are included, or 2.) additional viable strategies can be used. Finally, one can only hope that politici
