Season’s Ripe for an Economic Candidate!

Posted on June 3, 2015 by Curtis Greco

Considering that the U.S. Economy has been in a near 30 year (there’s support for stating it goes back to 1970) death spiral you’d think that a Presidential candidate would have had ample time to craft a compelling economic plan as part of their platform. The obvious target is the Tax System however, you really can’t deal with that until you deal with trade policy that suspends portions of the tax code where the beneficial interests of the multi-nationals are concerned (of course no candidate would dare tell you that truth).  Read more...

Debt Ceiling Debate No More

Posted on May 26, 2015 by Curtis Greco

Having gone unnoticed is the now silent political contest over the Debt Ceiling. Concurrent with the advent of the Obama Administration and along with it the explosion in Federal Debt, the Debt Limit argument has become a perennial event.

The sudden switch to apathetic political resolve has many reasons & the key elements are:

(1) The Temporary Debt Limit Extension Act (2/2014) that “suspends” the Debt Ceiling.

(2) Sequestration which, in part, has capped certain elements of the Budget.

(3) Political realities have taught the Republicans (and the Democrats) that forcing government shutdowns brings with it a near un-survivable political price.  Read more...

TPP: The Equity in Serving Two Masters!

Posted on May 19, 2015 by Curtis Greco

To understand the danger of Fast-Track Authority, in any Trade Pact dealings, one needs to consider the inherent economic conflict that exists in New World Order Trade Deals.

First, understand that NWO Trade Deals address nation states not as sovereign entities, but simply as regional components of a global market. To the NWO, the American people, in essence, are thus merely a tooth on a single gear amidst a host of thousands of other gear each possessing any number of teeth. Second, NWO Trade Deals treat the individual tooth as irrelevant to the whole. Third, to depress the influence of the single tooth the gears of production are dispersed purely for economic and political advantage of the NWO structure who then relies on the interconnectivity illusion, of the so-called global market place, to promote its agenda.  Read more...

Poison Kills: $80 Billion State Giveaways!

Posted on April 20, 2015 by Curtis Greco

In an attempt to lure businesses to their territory States giveaway BILLIONS of dollars in inducements with hope for collateral return on their, sort of, investment. Whether in the form of grants, tax forgiveness/postponement, building fees/code waivers etc., the numbers are staggering. More importantly, as with the case of massive bond-issues for Pro-Team Stadiums, the revenues generated never compliment the huge monetary burden leaving the taxpayers with the bill.

Moreover, the entire scheme illustrates how the relationship between business concerns and the Public’s trust-in-the-hands of Government has become a perverse form of corporate welfare.  Read more...

Obama Budget – A 2016 Strategy

Posted on February 2, 2015 by Curtis Greco

True, Mr. Obama is a master at luring the ignorant, only now he’s going up-town with his game and the true reckoning will assure a GOP failure in 2016.

It’s all there in black and white (the Budget); key liberal-fascism in the form of play-to-those-with-their-hands out and watch the Republican leadership (and the country) implode as they chase phantoms.  Read more...
