Evangelical Iowa; Will it Matter?

Posted on January 19, 2016 by Curtis Greco

It’s a bit ironic that a nation built on Judeo-Christian values mocks a candidate who stands on religious conviction or openly courts those who do. I understand the divisive value of mockery in political and media matters however, in the social/public domain it remains a seemingly counter-intuitive stance.

Kennedy never even considered an Executive Order requiring National Allegiance to the Vatican. Nixon never proposed legislation ordaining The Religious Society of Friends (Quaker) as the National Faith and yes, we managed to survive Carter’s Baptist and Reagan’s Presbyterian leanings.  Read more...

Hostage Return on Investment

Posted on January 16, 2016 by Curtis Greco

Humans, on occasion, are capable of profound wickedness, however when Governments, controlled by wicked incompetence are unleashed the risk expands geometrically. Yes, by all means, the release of any person being held against their will and without just cause is worthy of celebration – no question!  Read more...

And Then There Where 7? Fair Trade On-Point!

Posted on January 15, 2016 by Curtis Greco

The most important message to come out of Thursday night’s Republican debate waited until (near) the very end; the subject was Trade and how only one individual on that stage seemed to grasp the topic and provide a commanding response.

But first, a foundation: Trade should never be a political or politicized apparatus; when it is, it’s no longer Free-Trade but political-leverage. Economy (the concept of) is a national order however its durability/sustainability is purely local and for this reason Trade must support a National Economy precisely because it is built on local demand/capacity. The ONLY type of trade, occurring with another country can and is only domestically beneficial if it furthers the durability/sustainability of the domestic economy; end of story. (Side Bar: By the way, the concept of Comparative Advantage exists only in conceptual terms and not in practical reality.)  Read more...

Wall Street Collapsing; Proof of Failure!

Posted on January 15, 2016 by Curtis Greco

The Casino-at-Wall Street proves the depths of how seriously the U.S. Economy has been disemboweled; proof of the policy of economic detachment simulating a Greek Tragedy.

The real measure of economic viability is a Nations Re-Investment in itself; it drives productivity, it drives expansion, it drives development in education and technological advancement(s), it drives efficiency, it drives employment and it drives upward economic mobility while simultaneously reinforcing social stability none of which can be performed by Government intervention.  Read more...

Elitist Desperation & Why You Should Be Livid!

Posted on January 14, 2016 by Curtis Greco

A few years back, in one of my books, the following phrase appeared: “How can it be claimed that this country’s election process is free and open when the options made available are chosen by a selection process that is neither free nor open?”

Clearly, where the DNC is concerned and given that Democratic-committed voters have, at the present time, only a choice between damaged and dangerous, the case is closed and my observation proven. In the case of the Republicans the public has a front row seat to the game of anointing evidenced by the open-season maneuvering in opposition to anyone that dare challenge the power-centric gilding of the elite (Bush).  Read more...
