Working a Crisis Amidst the Preference of Resistance:

Posted on March 20, 2020 by Curtis Greco

In 1986 I was staffed as part of a team reviewing procurement protocols for the DOD, the purpose of which was to exam existing processes, chart the flow-thru matrix, controls (pricing, inventory, security, inter/intra service demands and dependencies, paper-trail etc) and controls-enforcement. The purpose of the assignment was to deliver on a request by the then Office of the Secretary who in response to the (then) Administrations “top-down-bottom-up review” of military expenditures was looking to streamline the process and “cut the fat.” In essence we were hired to perform an analytical review and reporting on any/all confiscatory practices, processes, systemic bottle-necks, abuses and other bureaucratic excesses the elimination of which would promote efficiencies; I would later, over a period of years and Administrations, work on similar (type) reviews of several other government agencies with the same or similar priorities in mind.  Read more...

An Econ-Policy Response to Wu-V.

Posted on March 13, 2020 by Curtis Greco

As the government works on its initial response to the Publics economic exposure to Wu-V, forms of guaranteed income whether in the form of subsidized Fed/State unemployment insurance, forms of direct subsidies or even suspension of tax payments/withholding – none of which are novel as the Government has used (previously) these programs many times before, FDR made it regular depression-era routine – what concerns me most is the manner in which the government attends to the needs of Corporate Interests. I’m reminded of the trillions of dollars that went to bailout banks, various mortgage traunches, Corporate and Union Rescues and yet zero-to-none went to those most important to the economic engine of the nation; Middle Americans.  Read more...

Crazy Uncle Joe & Cousin Bernie!

Posted on March 10, 2020 by Curtis Greco

Crazy Uncle Joe & Cousin Bernie! Following yet another verbal assault, by Joe Biden, on a civilian it occurs to me that Bernie might actually be forced to do something he never, in a million years, though he’d have to do; make a legitimate and deliberate run for the Presidency. The DNC and their faithful are likely experiencing night sweats over the thought of Joe Biden being unleashed to the public which, until recently, they’ve been able to manage an insulating factor by using the army of candidates whose own exploits have drawn airtime away from Joe.  Read more...
