GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN

Ezra Klein is an excellent journalist/economist who writes for the Washington Post. This is my comment on his piece about the possible government shutdown. Sam Nettles I wonder if anyone has calculated how much money is available for debt reduction if the total holdings of all Americans, especially the wealthy, is used. David Walker uses a percentage of government debt to GNP. Government debt is now just a means of holding on to a redundant status quo. It's like a man using debt to pay his bills when he has money in the bank to handle it. Posted 4/1/2011 11:23:42 AM CDT

Dyslexia?

News reports of Health and Human Services latest efforts to build their control of the American Society by beginning a move to limit salt intake by Americans is disturbing and probably dangerous. Because of my wife's heart attack a few years ago, I have been very familiar with salt requirements of the human body. My wife went to the emergency room 3 times because of low salt ( hypo-leukemic ). One of her water pills was reduced to once a week and she has had no problems since. Memory and mental confusion result from low salt.

Linked with other efforts by HHS to gain inforcement powers over what people eat, drink and smoke looks like terrorists have infiltrated the agency or employees suffer from dyslexia and get their benefits and dangers reversed.

Why Insurance?

The fight over health care insurance continues building on the false premise that insurance companies are untouchable in the United States. My contacts from Canada on the internet tell me that they pay $100.00 a month to the government and all medical services are covered. Payments for doctors, hospitals, drugs, dentists, eye doctors,etc. are the equivolent to the U.S. The Canadian government administers and regulates the system. Socialism means government ownership. The Canadian system is not socialized medicine.

Co-payment, premiums, cost sharing and taxes have become outrageous. Insurance company profits have rocketed to the moon. Still, Americans love insurance!!!!!

Inflation

In speeches before various groups when I was young, I used to say that I would rather have a hundred dollar bill in my pocket when bread cost a hundred dollars than nothing in my pocket if bread cost a nickle. An extreme example of recession and inflation, of course, but then stagflation came along where inflation with high prices was right alongside a recession.

A true, competitive, free market economy would not allow this to happen. Economists have always used recessions and depression to combat inflation because they could. A status quo power structure will always try to protect itself and too many voters do not understand economics. Fear of inflation has been a successful motivating force for money-power controllers. Cheap labor and unemployment results from Big Business, without competive forces, taking inappropriate action. Inflation can be curbed by many methods other than recessions and depressions.
