9/10/2010                Despite How Glaringly Obvious are The Failures of
                         The "Free Market", Obama Still Promotes This Myth
                         And Lets Millions Suffer... He Was Elected To Lead
                         in A New Direction.  He and His Party Have Failed Terribly.

                 Just 21 years ago after the collapse of the Soviet Union, Socialism and Marxism
                     were dismissed as complete failures.  The "free market" seemed vindicated
                     to many.  But, now the boom and bust of Wall Street, the trillion Dollar bailout
                     of banks too big to fail, a real unemployment level of 15%, homelesness,
                     escalating medical insurance costs, unending wars a world away, Global Warming
                     and the obvious domination of both political parties by Wall Street show that
                     Americans needs to fundamentally change the status quo. Even now, Wall Street
                     behaves as though everything is back to normal.

                 America and The Planet Can No Longer Afford To Be Guided
                 by This "Free Market" Ideology Whose Sole Purpose Now
                 Is To Befuddle Common Sense and Protect The Rich and Powerful.    
          
                                   Lots of Reading for the Curious.

    2008        OBAMA: "I am a pro-growth, free-market guy. I love the market.
                   I think it is the best invention to allocate  resources."   (Source.)  
                   In theory this means,  businesses are regulated through the dictates of supply and demand. 
                   Prices and and distribution are controlled by business owners and investors. Profits are
                   distributed among the owners and shareholders. In a word, "greed is good".

                               Obama was either being naive or telling the rich and powerful that he was no threat.

                   If we really had a free market, the Wall Street banks that made stupid investment decisions
                   would now be bankrupt, to be replaced by more intelligent banks and managers. Instead
                   they have been “bailed out” -- at taxpayer expense -- and permitted to continue with
                   hardly any new restrictions.  (B

                   Very few industrues are competitive.  Most are "oligopolies" and dominated by a just a few corporations.
                            For example, as of fourth quarter 2008, Verizon, AT&T, Sprint Nextel, and T-Mobile together control
                            89% of the US cellular phone market...Firms may employ restrictive trade practices (collusion, market
                            sharing etc.) to raise prices and restrict production in much the same way as a monopoly. Where there
                            is a formal agreement for such collusion, this is known as a cartel. A primary example of such a cartel
                            is OPEC which has a profound influence on the international price of oil.
                            Many examples: Airlines, tire, banking, autos, steel, soft drinks, tobacco, TV networksm film, aluminum,
                            cell phone, gas distribution, music companies (4), beer, healthcare insurance and corn flakes.
                            Anti-trust laws are no longer enforced very much.  The result is higher priced products, slower
                            innovation and emphasis on TV marketing.  Prices are set by leaders where outright collusion might
                            bring legal action.

                   Corporations depend heavily upon government handouts and contracts.

                   Corporations have bought Congress and the Networks and subverted Democaacy..

                   The very rich have so much political power, they cannot be challenged and so get richer.

                   Corporations are run as fiefdoms with those on top getting huge salaries that often bear no realtionship
                   to their true productivity and the company's success.

                   America has lost its indistrial and manufacturing base to the international free traders..

                   American workers are being impoverished more and more. It is ti the interest of the
                   corporation to pay as low as possible to Labor.

                   Boom (greed unmitigated) and Busts (unmitgated fear) cause severe unemployment for
                   unbearably long periods of time. 

                   Economic decisons are made with very imperfect information, because of the pervasive corporate
                   misinformation, fraud and concealment of relevant information to shareholders and consumers.

                   Pollution is inevitable. Corporations want to operate as cheaply as possible.   Over-all concerns
                   about the planer are not the concern of a business seeking to maximize profits.

                   Finite and non-renewable energy resources and food (fish) are exhausted.  Long-term, future and
                   global concerns are secondary to exploiting resources to maximize profits in the present..

9/9/2010   Obama and The Chicago ECON "Free" Market Mob

                9/10/2010  Adding to my concerns about how much Obama is dependent on
                on the advise of right-wing "free matket" ideologues in the middle of a gathering
                Depression,   Obama announced today that he is appointing 41-year old
                Austan Goolsbee to head his Council of Econimic
                Advisers.   Where is he from? University of Chicago Business School. 

                Born in Waco, Texas.   He went to Yale and was in the top secret.
                well-connected internationalist Skull and Bones secret society that
                helped promote 2 Bushes and John Kerry towards the Presidency.
                With a Ph.D. from MIT,  Goolsbee's academic research, his bio says,
                has focused on the internet and government policy. 

                Jon Stewart describes him as "Eliot Ness meets Milton Friedman".[Source]   " 

                He has respeatedly advocated more international free trade. 

                Is he afraid of America's loss of its manufacturing base and
                the outsourcing of millions of American jobs?  Not hardly!
                Goolsbee says globalization is responsible for only"a small fraction"
                of today's income disparities. He completely omits mention of how
                exorbitant CEO pay has become.  He avoids talking about misuse
                of power by boardroom cronies running corporations. 

                He says that "60 to 70 percent of the economy faces virtually
                no international competition." America's 18.5 million government
                employees have little to fear from free trade; so do auto
                mechanics, dentists and many others. " He has bought the
                University of Chicago "free trade" nonsense hook line and sinker.
                Has he any real experience in a town who manufacturing base
                has left to go overseas?  Source.

                Obama' is destroying the Democratic Party.  More and more people
                do not see Democrats making any difference to the unemployed and poor.
                http://finance.yahoo.com/news/Special-Report-Bluecollar-rb-1762182256.html?x=0&sec=topStories&pos=4&asset=&ccode= 
                The chartible view of Obama is that he is professorial, aloof and stubbornly
                holds to the belief that he can win over Republicans by compromise.
                Less charitable and more common view is that he a corporate sell-out
                who has placed the needs of Wall Street above those who voted for him.
                See the discussion created by a piece entitled "Unilateral Disarmament
                Has Destroyed The Democrats."

                                         THE DISCONTENT WITH DEMOCRATS IS GROWING

                         "We're not stupid.  We know that he strode into the white house with near historic pluralities
                         and MASSIVE, much more than any president since Truman, public support. He had all he needed to
                         affect meaningful change which would have improved the lives of all americans..We know he eschewed all
                         that from his first day. We saw him and his party take a chain saw to a "stim" before the Rs even
                        demanded anything. And that was the highlight of his admin. Since then, it's been all service to
                        corporations with empty rhetoric toward human beings no matter the degree of need. "

                         "Obama and his so called party of the people are I'd like to add frauds. They
                        NEVER IMO ever had any intention of really delivering on REAL Change from day 1"

                        "I knew in 04 when Nancy took impeachment off the table we were fu&%#@ed".

                        "To me Dennis Kucinich would have been our only hope, but he is marginalised by the press,
                        yet Sarah Palin even immidiately after her loss for the bid of vice-president gets wall to wall coverage, her
                        every stupid, jongoistic, bullshit statement getting worldwide coverage...has that EVER happened for a
                        failed candidate for the under-office?"

                         "There's no doubt that the Demos got the heady taste of corporate money and caved"..

                         "The White House is highly complicit in all this. They are not being beaten by the Republicans.
                   Instead, at the orders of the Corporate interests that run both parties, and thus the country, they are laying down
                   for the Republicans"/.

               

                Is Goolsbee dismayed about widening income inequality? 
                Goolsbee's rough estimate is that technology -- meaning all that
                the phrase "information economy" denotes -- accounts for more
                than 80 percent of the increase in earnings disparities, whereas trade
                accounts for much less than 20 percent." . The stagnation of
                middle- and working-class incomes,  and the anxiety that has generated,
                is, he says, a most pressing problem, but policymakers must be
                mindful about trying to address its root cause, which
                Goolsbee says is "radically increased returns to skill...
                The solution is to invest more in education, which will
                raise wages, reduce inequality and move toward
                equilibrium."   Source.

                                          Toys from China?

                Goolsbee is not alarmed that 90% of the tools
                we might buy at Home Depot are made in China.
                He maintains that "all imports are only 16.7 percent of
                the U.S. economy and imports from China are a small
                portion of all imports. Those from China amount to 2.2
                percent of the U.S. gross domestic product.   Source.
               

               IF OBAMA KEEPS FOLLOWING THE UNIV. OF CHICAGO's
             RIGHT-WING ECONOMIC THINKING,  WE ARE LIKELY
             TO BE DOOMED TO HIGH UNEMPLOYMENT
             FOR YEARS AND YEARS... 
                   Milton Friedman, Hayek, Knight and Lucas
                             Would Be Proud of Obama.,

                          Where FDR Deliberately Surrounded Himself with Advisors
                    who held many points of view, Obama has surrounded himself
                    with Advisers from Chicago who have all been heavily
                    influenced by the University of Chicago's anti-Keynesianism.
                    WIthout exception they are defenders of the "free market" and
                    de-regulation.

                         Could Monetary Policy Be about to Fail?  Look at the troubled
                    charts of Visa.  Interest rates are now starting to rise.

                       Individual Investors Pulled Out  $33 Billion from Mutual Funds in 2010 So Far.
                       Unfair professional manipulative trading practices, it is said, are causing too many
                       losses for individual investors.  The real reason is the more and more people
                       are falling out of the Middle Class and are selling the stocks in their retirement
                       accounts.  
                             http://themoondrapost.blogspot.com/2010/08/market-manipulation-scaring-small.html    
             This link lists a series of reforms that most non Wall Street observers think are needed.
                       But since Wall Street seems to own Obama, despite his rhetoric, as well as the Fed, the
                       Treasury and  the Senate Finance Committee, there's little point in setting these reforms
                       out here again.  Obama and the Wall Street triumvirate believe that it's better Wall Street
                       make a lot of money, that stocks keep getting artificially "juiced" and, perhaps, there
                       will be enough "trickle down" to make Main Street whole again. 

                            Obama Is Now Repeating FDR's 1937 Blunder of|
         Pursuing Budget Austerity in The Middle of A Depression.

                       Nobel Prize winning economist, Paul Krugman warns that Obama has put us back into
                       a 1937 scenario.  This was when FDR started to listened to the conservatives in the Treasury
                       headed by Morgenthau and cut back government spending so he could claim he was
                       balancing the budget.  The public drew the tragically mistaken conclusion that cutting
                       government spending would somehow create more jobs.  And there was a great Stock
                       Market Crash and a Second Depression.  I have written all this before. 

                       February 4, 2010  Will Obama Cause Another 1937 Crash?  If Obama Keeps Taking The
                       Advise of Self-Serving Bankers,  the RISK of ANOTHER CRASH Is VERY HIGH.

                       Readers here will want to subscribe to my Nightly Hotline or get Peerless Stock Market
                       Timing software to see if the current Peerless chart looks similar to the 1937 chart
                       when FDR started pursuing budget balancing policies to try to try to pacify
                       his Republican critics, just as Obama seems now to be doing, rather than listening to
                       progressives who call for heavy taxation of the super rich and a truly massive
                       public works and infrastructure rebuilding to provide a million new jobs and
                       make America competitive again.   The result for FDR's move to the right in 1937
                       was a serious political defeat in the 1938 election.  And only the coming of war in
                       Europe brought an economic recovery in the US when qualms about deficit spending
                       were put aside to fight the war.  The result for Obama will be no better, especially if
                       his temerity puts in power the very type of people and the very same economic
                       thinking that brought on the 1929-1932 and 2007-2008 Crashes and Depressions.
                       It is a terrible flaw in Obama's education that he know so little economic history
                       and nothing about John Meynard Keynes. 
                          1936   A General Theory of Employment, Interest and Money. In the book Keynes
                       showed that the lack of demand for goods and rising unemployment could be
                       countered by increased government expenditure to stimulate the economy, which
                       would then provide a bigger tax base.  In this way, deficit would disappear and
                       be funded by the recovery.  Without such government efforts, unemployment,
                       deflation and deficits would spiral disastrously into a self-perpetuating Depression.
          

                             Keynes Deficit Spending Plans Were
                                             Opposed by British Labor and Conservative Parties in the 1930s.

                                 In 1929, influenced by Keynes, UK Liberal Leader  Lloyd George published
                          a pamphlet, We Can Conquer Unemployment, where he proposed a government scheme
                         where 350,000 men were to be employed on road-building, 60,000 on housing, 60,000 on
                          telephone development and 62,000 on electrical development. The cost would be £250
                          million, and the money would be raised by loan.  Tragically, a Keynesian deficit spending
                          program was dismissed in the 1930s by Labour's Ramsay MacDonald and Phillip Snowden
                          and by the Conservative Chancellor of the Exchequer Neville Chamberlain.

                                  Obama and The University of Chicago's Anti-Keynesianism
                        
                          "The Chicago school is associated with neoclassical price theory and
                           libertarianism in its support of lower taxation and private sector regulation...
                           The school rejected Keynesianism in favor of monetarism until the 1980s,
                           when it turned to rational expectations. It has affected the field of finance by
                           the development of the efficient market hypothesis.   

                               Frank Knight (1885–1972) - "He believed that while the free market
                          could   be inefficient, government programs were even less efficient. " 
                        
                              Friedrich von Hayek (1899–1992)   An aristocrat from Vienna,
                           he is best known for his defense of free-market capitalism 

                              Milton Friedman  (1912–2006) - he won the Nobel Prize in
                           Economics in 1976 for,   among other things, A Monetary History of the United
                           States (1963). Friedman argued that the Great Depression had been caused
                           almost entirely by the Federal Reserve's policies through the 1920s,  and
                           worsened in the 1930s. Friedman argued that laissez-faire government policy
                           is more desirable than government intervention in the economy.

                               Robert E. Lucas  (b. 1937) - Dedicated "his life to unwinding
                           Keynesianism," Micro-economics should over-power and consume
                           macro-economics.    "Each chapter discusses the Post Keynesian view on one
                           particular topic and ..... many quarters with ridicule and often with hostility,
                           dislike, and contempt."  Source.

                                            Criticism of Chicago's Economic Thinking

                  "The Chicago school, which advocates for unfettered free markets and little government intervention (albeit within a strict, government-defined monetary regime), came under attack in the wake of the financial crisis of 2007–2010.^[17] The school has been blamed for growing income inequality in the United States.^[18] Economist Brad DeLong of the University of California, Berkeley says the Chicago School has experienced an "intellectual collapse", while Nobel laureate Paul Krugman of Princeton University, says that recent comments from Chicago school economists are "the product of a Dark Age of macroeconomics in which hard-won knowledge has been forgotten,"^[19] charging that the school has done nothing to help salvage the economy in the wake of the crisis.^[20]Free market intellectuals argue that the 2007-09 economic collapse was due to government mis-management and over regulation of the mortgage loan sector; saying Wall Street was forced to give credit to individuals with no capacity to make payments.^[21][22]"

                "The University of Chicago is where he has drawn many crucial members of his political team. Graduate School of Business professor Austan Goolsbee is a key economic strategist. University trustee Valerie Jarrett has become one of his closest friends and top advisers, and fellow trustee John W. Rogers Jr., U-High’76, a South Side entrepreneur, is a friend and fund-raiser. University board chair James Crown heads Obama’s Illinois finance team. Former Law School colleagues Cass Sunstein and Geoffrey Stone, JD’71, serve as informal advisers.

                  "Obama’s chief strategist since 2002, David Axelrod, AB’79, studied political science in the College, and many of the senator’s earliest allies are also alumni, including former Hyde Park congressman and Mandel Legal Aid Clinic senior director Abner Mikva, JD’51... Meanwhile, as might be expected with a hometown candidate, the number of Chicago professors who have given the campaign money, support, or expertise is legion.

                  "Many of Obama’s economic ideas, however, can be traced to Chicago.
Cass Sunstein, who’s starting a new job at Harvard University this fall (he’ll maintain a visiting position at Chicago), makes the case: “Though he’s not a dogmatic follower of Milton Friedman, Obama is someone who is fully appreciative of the virtues of markets and how regulation can be counterproductive.” Sunstein points to specific proposals that originated with Chicago thinkers, including resonances from Nudge, the 2008 book on “libertarian paternalism” that Sunstein coauthored with GSB economist Richard Thaler. On health care: “It’s noteworthy,” Sunstein says, “that his approach is not a mandate; he didn’t want to coerce any adult to buy health insurance.” On the housing mortgage crisis: “His policies are oriented toward transparency and disclosure—measures that are market-improving rather than market-eliminating.” Climate change: “His solution is a market system that allows trading in greenhouse-gas emissions rights, and an auction to buy those rights.”

"More than 16 percent of working-age Americans are unemployed or underemployed. Long-term unemployment is the highest on record. Millions of people have lost their homes, savings and pensions.

"Two: The United States today has a $13 trillion national debt and a record-breaking deficit. Last year alone, the federal government spent more than $186 billion just paying interest on the public debt.  

"Three: The United States has the most unequal distribution of wealth and income of any major country. Today, the top 1 percent of wage earners earn more income than the bottom 50 percent; and the top 1 percent has more wealth than the bottom 90 percent.  

"During the Bush administration, the middle class saw a $2,200 drop in median family income, down to slightly more than $50,000. Meanwhile, the 400 wealthiest families’ income more than doubled, while their effective income tax rates were slashed almost in half during the past 15 years. The wealthiest 400 Americans have accumulated $1.27 trillion in wealth, while the highest-paid 400 Americans had an average income of $345 million in 2007. As a result of Bush tax policy, they pay an effective income tax rate of 16.6 percent, the lowest on record.   

"Four: This year, a number of billionaires died and, for the first time since 1916, their families will pay no inheritance tax. This occurred as a result of President George W. Bush’s $1.35 trillion tax break, passed in 2001. 

In other words, while this country has a devastatingly high unemployment rate, a huge debt, massive unmet needs and a widening gap between the very richest people and everyone else, we are providing enormous tax breaks to millionaire and billionaire families. This is insane! "

8/30/2010          AIR POCKETS IN STOCKS ARE DISTINCTLY BEARISH.

        INSIDER AND PROFESSIONAL SELLING AT DGIT BEFORE IT CRASHES.

DGFastChannel  - products/services digitially deliver commercials, syndicated programs, and video news releases. 
This was a  38.4% decline in one day.  Technical weakness was easy to spot as it topped out. 
Tiger's CLosing Power failed to rally with the stock three weeks ago and then broke its uptrend.  This is a classic SELL.  Margin calls must have been triggered by the slide.  Professionals and market makers steadily sold it down.

The real truth is that official insiders bought no shares in the last 6 months, but sold 1,101,900 shares.
Belatedly, the company forecast "weaker-than-expected" revenue for the thrid quarter.  The insider expected
the drop in revenue much earlier.  That was why they sold.  They just didn't get around to telling shareholders
until this weekend. How convenient.  Not a single complaint on the Yahoo message board of  DGIT.  A bunch
of sheep?. Will Scott go SCOT-free?  Will the SEC ask any questions?  Don't hold your breath.  Just use
TigerSoft to level the playing field.

                        INSIDER TRADING BY SCOTT GINSBURG AGAIN?
                                    WHY DO DGIT SHAREHOLDERS NOT COMPLAIN?
                                                            WHERE IS THE SEC?

CEO and Chairman of the Board Scott Ginsburg was the biggest seller. He sold more than a million shares.
between 32 and 43.  He was found guitly of insider trading in 2002 and was fined a million and enjoined not
to engage in future violations of the law. Obviously, he is  man on a mission of greed.

                                       "I'M A LONG-TERM INVESTOR"

  Read the commennts on Yahoo by someone who watch the insider selling, thought it smelled, but
  lazily did nothing with his position, saying he was a long term investor. This is very typical.

                 "What a joke, DGIT CEO acting stupidly

   "Please tell me that there is no stench in the air from Ginsburg's last sale of over 250K shares at 32.5 and then immediate drop back down.

MMs ran it up for him to sell and then sell it right back down as if they know for a fact they have nothing to fear from DGIT management from doing anything crazy like releasing information to the public. One thing for sure the people buying at 32.5 are the same ones selling it down. Ginsburg is acting stupid here in my opinion. I mean it is not as if he has not given out insider info before and been prosecuted for it. He had better start thinking more clearly if you ask me.

I keep holding long because I am a very big believer in the long term position and think the stock will be trading above $40 before the end of the year. But it is hard to put up with this kind of monkey business.


8/28/2010    AP IMPACT: US wasted billions in rebuilding Iraq
                    They finally got the memo. Billions? Trillions Were Wasted and Stolen in Iraq and Afghanistan.  



                    Private Contractors like Halliburton and Blackwater and the Military Industrial Complex
                    are Out of Control.  Eisenhower's warning in 1961 was truly prophetic.

                         "This conjunction of an immense military establishment and a large arms industry
                          is new in the American experience. The total influence – economic, political, even spiritual –
                          is felt in every city… We must not fail to comprehend its grave implications. Our toil, resources
                          and livelihood are all involved; so is the very structure of our society...

                          In the councils of government, we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence,
                         whether sought or unsought, by the military industrial complex. The potential for the disastrous
                         rise of misplaced power exists and will persist. We must never let the weight of this combination
                         endanger our liberties or democratic processes. We should take nothing for granted. Only an alert
                         and knowledgeable citizenry can compel the proper meshing of the huge industrial and military
                         machinery of defense with our peaceful methods and goals, so that security and liberty may
                         prosper together."

                    Obama's War in Afghanistan is as unpopular as Bush's in Iraq.  But Congress and President
                    Refuse to Stop these Useless Campaigns, Bring Home The Troops and Spend The Money
                    in Rebuilding The US Infrastructure.  Nothing was learned from the US War in Viet Nam.
                    Nothing was learned from the war in Iraq.  America needs new leadership desperately.

                    have turned down, for now.

8/24/2010   Oil falls to near $72 in Asia on economic fears- AP
                   World demand for crude oil seems to be topping out. As deflationary as this seems, the less money
                    consumers have to give the oil cartel, the more money they have for other purchases.  Weakness
                    here does take pressure off the Dollar and permits low interest rates to continue longer than
                    they would if oil prices were rising steeply.  This is not good for Gold.  Look for Gold to retreat.  shoulder

                    The Department of Education is considering putting an end to government-backed loans at schools

              That's Not Much To Campaign on When Unemployment Is Higher Now Than When He Took
                         Office.  

                         Why does Obnma hides his course work at Columbia and the fact that he either dId poorly in
                         basic ECON 101, or perhaps never even took It.  As a result, he appears utterly unaware of
                         how FDR dealt with Big Banks and FDR's Public Works' Programs or how FDR responded
                         in 1934 when right-wingers attacked the New Deal as socialism. 

                        

                           Wall Street's "perverse incentive structures" guarantee another crisis
                           "Excessive pay on Wall Street, which Black says is the biggest culprit of the financial crisis"
                           The Financial regulation reform utterly fails to deal with this, Obama's rhetoric not withstanding.

                          Fed takes action as economy sinks further

                         What the Fed says:  "it would spend a relatively small amount of money -- about $10 billion a month,
                         economists estimate -- buying government debt. The move is designed to drive interest rates on
                         mortgages and corporate borrowing at least a little lower and help the economy grow faster."

                       VERY BEARISH. I think, are Bernanke's ramarks that he wants the FED to buy
                        US Treasury instruments.  The strong implication is that he will backstop them when the
                        Chinese start to sell their huge holdings. He may have meant well, but Bernanke's comments are
                        most unreassuring. Are the Chinese selling already?  Is he preparing us for that contingency?
                        Is the prospect of the Chinese dumping US debt instruments big part of why the Dollar has turned

                        Is the pace of economic recovery so slow that no one will borrow to buy a house at 4% or
                        build a US factory?.  The Fed is getting desperate.  It is "pushing on a string".  Monetary policy
                        is not the answer.  Fiscal stimulus and federal public works programs are the only solution.
                        But Obama's financial advisers are hopelessly beholden to big banks and fearful that the right
                        wing radio chorus will scream "socialism".  So an FDR like New Deal with massive public works
                        programs is not even talked about. 
  

REAL NEW DEAL HISTORY       WPA - Works Progress Adm.                      WPA was the largest employer in the country until WWII.                     "The goal of the WPA was to employ most of the unemployed people on relief until the economy recovered. Harry Hopkins testified to Congress during January 1935 why he set the number at 3.5 million, using Federal Emergency Relief Administration data. Estimating costs at $1200 per worker per year, he asked for and received $4 billion."                     "largest New Deal agency, employing millions to carry out public works projects, including the construction of public buildings and roads, and operated large arts, drama, media, and literacy projects. It fed children and redistributed food, clothing, and housing. Almost every community in the United States had a park, bridge or school constructed by the agency, which especially benefited rural and Western populations. Expenditures from 1936 to 1939 totaled nearly $7 billion.[1]...Created by order of President Franklin Delano Roosevelt, the WPA was funded by Congress with passage of the Emergency Relief Appropriation Act of 1935 on April 8, 1935. The legislation had passed in the House of Representatives by a margin of 329 to 78, but was delayed by the Senate.[1]...Headed by Harry Hopkins, the WPA provided jobs and income to the unemployed during the Great Depression in the United States. Between 1935 and 1943, the WPA provided almost eight million jobs.[2]         (Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Works_Progress_Administration )         WPA mural in Cincinnati.  Now at airport.  See more WPA murals.      New Deal/WPA Art Project       BLUES MUSIC HISTORY PROJECT -                 Robert Johnson lives because WPA people recorded his music for the Library of Congress...       Eric Clapton has called Johnson "the most important blues singer that ever lived" He was ranked fifth "       in Rolling Stone's list of 100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time.[4]   Eric Clapton described Johnson's music       as "the most powerful cry that I think you can find in the human voice."

"The most concerted broadening of musical education and performance came from the federally sponsored WPA Federal Music Project (FMP). Like other artists, musicians were devastated by the Depression in the early 1930s. Headed by Nikolas Sokoloff, the FMP, founded in 1935, sponsored radio broadcasts and musical-education classes and commissioned work from composers such as George Antheil, William Schuman, and Elliot Carter. The FMP funded an index of American composers from colonial times to the present and sponsored folklorists traveling through the South. Between 1935 and 1939 some seven thousand musicians worked for the FMP in twenty-eight symphonies, ninety small orchestras, sixty-eight brass bands, and thirty-three opera or choral groups. The FMP sponsored African American composers and had a hit with The Swing Mikado, Gilbert and Sullivan done to African rhythms in Chicago and New York in 1938 and 1939. Music spread and flourished despite decreased economic activity    Music in the 1930s Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC)                1933-1942                "As part of the New Deal legislation proposed by President Franklin D. Roosevelt (FDR), the                   CCC was designed to provide relief for unemployed youth who had a very hard time finding jobs                   during the Great Depression while implementing a general natural resource conservation program on                   public lands in every U.S. state, including the territories of Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin                    Islands. The CCC became the most popular New Deal program among the general public, providing jobs                    for a total of 3 million young men from families on relief.[1] Implicitly the CCC also led to awareness and                    appreciation of the outdoors and the nation's natural resources, especially for city youth.[2] The CCC was                    never considered a permanent program and depended on emergency and temporary legislation for its                    existence.[3]   ... During the time of the CCC, volunteers planted nearly 3 billion trees to help reforest America,                    constructed more than 800 parks nationwide that would become the start of most state parks, developed                    forest fire fighting methods and a network of thousands of miles of public roadways, and constructed                    buildings connecting the nation's public lands.[5]"                           (Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Civilian_Conservation_Corps "    Tennessee Valley Authority            Est.

The enterprise was a result of the efforts of Senator George W. Norris of Nebraska. TVA was envisioned not only as a provider, but also as a regional economic development agency that would use federal experts and electricity to rapidly modernize the region's economy and society. TVA's service area covers most of Tennessee, parts of Alabama, Mississippi, and Kentucky, and small slices of Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, West Virginia, Indiana and Virginia. It was the first large regional planning agency of the federal government and remains the largest. Under the leadership of David Lilienthal ("Mr. TVA"), TVA became a model for America's governmental efforts to modernize Third World agrarian societies.[1] "the agency was given authority to enter into long-term (20 years) contracts for the sale of power to government agencies and private entities, to construct electric power transmission lines to areas not otherwise supplied and to establish rules and regulations for electricity retailing and distribution. TVA is thus both a power supplier and a regulatory agency.

                                    DOES OBAMA KNOW ANY ECONOMIC HISTORY?

                        Obama seems so utterly ignorant ot the economic history of the New Deal. He never mentions
                        FDR, even though the challenges were similat for both Presidents.  We know that he studied
                        Political Science and International Relations at Columbia.  Having gone to Columbia myself,
                        I can say, it would be quite easy for an undergraduate to major in international relations
                        and learn relatively little about macronomics or economic history.  Why does he speak so
                        little of this time in his life?  Why does no one remember him?  Obama has refused to release
                        his college transcripts. 

                                  "Federal law limits the information that Columbia can release about Mr. Obama's time there.
                              A spokesman for the university, Brian Connolly, confirmed that Mr. Obama spent two years
                              at Columbia College and graduated in 1983 with a major in political science.
                              He did not receive honors, Mr. Connolly said, though specific information on his grades
                               is sealed".

                        As a result, Obama gives only hollow economic speeches full of rhetoric, but showing a pathetic
                        understanding of alternative economic policies that might be argued applied in a period of
                        chronic high unemployment and high deficits.  Not surprisingly, Obama is completely dependent
                        on advisers who are repeating the same mistakes that the Japamese did in the 1990s, thnking that
                        monetary policy and very low interest rates would make a difference. he studied political science
                        and international relations at Columbia.
          
                        At best, we are risking the experience of the Japanese.  At worst, if fiscal spending is curtailed,
                        we are risking a 1937-1938 Stock Market Crash, when FDR backslid towards fiscal austerity
                        and balancing a budget with 20% still unemployed.,.

                                         "The Real Obama Will Protect Wall Street, not Main Street"     

                         THE COMING ELECTION WILL SHOW
                                THAT OBAMA IS NO FDR


                        Obama is down to 40% approcal  in the polls because he can offer the millions of Americans
                        who are economically siffering no good reason to vote for him.  He offers no picture of
                        a better future for all Americans, because he has none. 

                         Obama could GUARANTEE EVERY ANERICAN A JOB, but he does not.  He is too afraid
                         of being labelled a "socialist", no matter that most historians believe FDR saved capitalisn
                         from itself. 

                         The Baltimore Sun writes today:
                                        "If ever there was a time for a massive federal job-creation program akin
                                    to those of the early New Deal, this is it. Indeed, projects such as road building,
                                    parks improvement and a range of other public works are going forward under
                                    the Obama stimulus package, but somehow they're escaping wide public awareness".
.
                         Pathetically, Obama is too shallow, too without backbone and too economically ignorant to even
                         do justice to his own extremely modest program of public works.   In the most important
                         issue of the times - JOBS, Obama is an utter failure as a leader.  He offers no inspiration,
                         no vision of a better future. no higher understanding of social relations in a complex,
                         interdependent world.  .

                         Things could be vastly different.  If people had jobs, they would have hope.  Their spending
                         would be an economic boost to others.  The government would even het its money back,
                         because people had jobs again and could pay the IRS what they owed.  FDR saw this.|
                         He offered a sweeping "NEW DEAL".  As a result, FDR's Democrats got even bigger majorities
                          in 1934. 

                         Why would anyone vote for Obama, except that Republicans all seem still to be believers
                         in Herbert Hoover's response to the Depression: cut back government spending, deregulate
                         Wall Street further and call meetings of big bankers to the White House so that they could
                         offer soothng lies about the future and the need to not interfere with the natural order of things,
                         so that the weak would be punished while the strong would somehow thrive.

                       student aid, threatening growth in the industry that received $26.5 billion in U.S. funds last year.

                      bad: decreased rainfall, heat, wind, loss of top soil and more aridity. (pp 238-240)

8/3/2010      A lot of people viscerally hate Wall Street and big banks. 
                    In so far as Obama is seen as siding with Wall Street, this is a big reason his popularity is down to 40%.
                    Wall Street want to repair their image.  The best way they can do this is to go up gradually.
                    That is what happened in 1988 after the 1987 Crash caused by computer Sell Programs.
                    I think the Fed, Obama and Wall Street have reached an agreement that includes Wall Street's
                    eschewing short sales.  This is good - short selling should be much more strictly limited.
                    The Power Elite's Biggest Gamble of All.  They Cannot Afford to Lose.
                        That's Why The Market Looks Like It Will Keep Rallying.  

                    Wall Street io longer a  key "partner with American Industry"... It has become a   "nearly omnipotent,
                     parasitic, self absorbed predator, which show(s)...little concern for investors, our economy, and our
                     country. American corporations and their employees were increasingly viewed as nothing more than
                    the chips in the daily poker game that Wall Street played with the American economy."   Source.
                    A few examples:
                            1. Enron’s illegal manipulation of the energy markets"
                            2. Widespread sale of CDOs by such firms as Goldman Sachs, which was simultaneously
                            shorting and marketing these securities
                            3   Rating service fraud and lies to the public as a service to their Wall Street clientele.
                            4. Despite the public outcry and 21:1 opposition, most Comgressmen and Senators
                            readily bailed out Wall Street banks with a $700 billion TARP funding bill.
                            5. The dismantling of key legislation aimed at protecting the integrity of our financial system,
                            namely the Glass Steagall Act, which separated commercial banking from investment banking.
                            6. Regulatory complicity, example - SEC's suddenly permitting short sales on downticks in
                            Late June 2007, weaks before market topped out. SEC focus on high publicity cases of
                            insider trading like Martha Stewart instead of protecting the public from criminals like Madoff.
                            7.Obama' financial team, Geithner, Summers and Bernanke, are the very same people that permitted
                            the housing public, unregulated credit default swaps, over-extension of leverage and de-regulation
                            of Wall Street. New regulations are a sham and a fraud constructed to make it appear the Obama

                  The very "richest few don't need the rest of us as markets, soldiers or police anymore." If we were
                  smart, we would get out of America. The rich don't need us anymore as buyers or to work for them.
                  As long as they can get cheap maids and greenskeepers from the illegal immigrant population,
                  the American worker has no place in their world.  Increasingly impoverished and jobless,
                  Americans serve no purpose to them.  So, they will keep shipping manufacturing jobs out of the country/

8/2/2010      "As spending by wealthy weakens, so does economy"  Do the rich really have
                   that such control?  Yes - in the absence of big governmental spending programs that might pick
                   up the slack or set a higher national agenda, I would have to say YES.  The extreme maldistribution
                   of wealth now in the US means all of us are being held hostage by the very rich until they get their
                   way.especially in the matter of taxes.  The same extremes of wealth and poverty are what created
                   the 1920s bubble and the 1900-1907 bubble, too.  The truth is the rich have most of the money. 
                   They own a higher percentage since 1928!  That proved very dangerous the next year. Here
                   are some links to explore:  See also August 9, 2010 - Why the wealthy determine the economy

                   "Consumer spending accounts for roughly two-thirds of U.S. gross domestic product, or the value of
                    all goods and services produced in the nation. And spending by the rich now accounts for the largest
                    share of consumer outlays in at least 20 years.  According to new research from Moody's Analytics,
                    the top 5% of Americans by income account for 37% of all consumer outlays
                    ...By contrast, the bottom 80% by income account for 39.5% of all consumer outlays....The wealthy
                    panicked during the financial crisis and stopped spending. "

                   Read Skewed Wealth Distribution and the Roots of the Economic Crisis  If you exclude home
                   ownership, which has been a steeply over-inflated asset, then the richest 1% own over 40%
                   of America;s wealth.  "Our super-rich plutocrats, after all, do not need more than five or ten
                   automobiles or five or ten homes each.  This top one percent—3 million people—certainly
                   cannot purchase all the goods that the poorest 180 million Americans would be capable of
                   purchasing had our society a more equal distribution of wealth..."
                   Making matters worse..." the more skewed the distribution of wealth has grown over time,
                   the more frantically has the economy been forced to create a growing array of consumer debt
                   mechanisms—subprime mortgages, payday loans, more and more intricately structured credit
                   card debt—in order simply to maintain its functioning."
                   (David Barber - http://hnn.us/articles/127085.html

                    In June 2007, I warned readers that the maldistribution of wealth was the supreme cause
                    of the 1929 Crash and with wealth in America again as badly shared, a crash like 1929
                    should be of more concern. 
                       "The 1929 Crash: Could It Happen Again?   Yes- Absolutely." June 24,  2007
                   
                    WARNING Obama is do nothing to change the extreme maldistribution in
                    America.   By helping bankers and CEOs he is making a bad situation worse.
                    Under-consumption and lack of diamond makes no sense given America's
                    crumbling and outdated infrastructure.   Sadly, tragically, Obama is setting the stage
                    for another Crash and more impoverishment of the rapidly growing number
                    of poor, underpaid and unemployed.  His "wager on the wealthy" boost the
                    stock market to levels that cannot be sustained.  The causes for the crashes
                    of 1907, 1929, 1937 and 2007 were all quite similar

                                            1)   wealth was too concentrated,

                                             2) the rich panicked when over-priced stocks collapsed,

                                             3) they stopped their discretionary spending,

                                             4) working people did not have enough money to keep the
                                             economy going,

                                             5) corporations laid off their workers by the millions,

                                             6) bank loans failed and credit tightened

                                             70 the government refused to undertake massive public works
                                             programs, even though public infrastructure needs were everywhere.
                       
                    And what was worse, insiders on Wall Street knew they had created a bubble.
                    Worse still, they actively sought to destroy trhe economy and jobs, by selling
                    short all the way down, thus creating  more panic and unemployment.  In 2007,
                    the US SEC even made short selling easier.  Wall Street ran the SEC!
                    Insider Trading?  We have the evidence that rich insiders were huge sellers
                   right at the top in 1929, 1937, 1987, 2000, 2007 and 2008.

                            Distribution of wealth - Wikipedia,

                   "Financially speaking, there is a great inequality in the United States. Over the last 30 years, while the rich
                    have been getting richer, the poor have been getting steadily poorer. One reason for the growing disparity
                    between the rich and the poor is the fact that most new jobs that are created pay low wages and often do
                   not offer retirement plans "  (Source: http://www.businesspundit.com/wealth-distribution-in-the-united-states/ )

                   How much do you have to have to be rich?  McCain suggested a $2,000,000 net worth was
                   not quite there.  Obama's actual policy priorities suggest he is in agreement.  If anything, his bank-subsidy
                   policies have favored the super-rich, those who make many millions a year. Having continued to
                   bail out the biggest monopoly banks unconditionally, he is now throwing $30 billion at "community
                   banks".   And again, rhetoric aside, Obama has done nothing to curb the greed of corporate CEOs.

                                                                     POLITICAL POWER

                  The unpleasant truth - unpleasant for us who do not believe there should be such gross social
                  disparities - but certainly pleasant for those at the top as it lets them keep what they have -
                  is that the rich largely control the political agenda in America for the foreseeable future.  Already they
                  control the jobs or the lack of them. who works, for how much, under what conditions and even
                  who does not work.  (Try starting a union where you work.  You'll be fired and blackballed.)
                 
                  The controls are indirect, too.  The mainstream media tells us policy makers have no choice but to
                  do the bidding of the wealthy.  In the link above that got me started on this rant, we are threatened
                  quite clearly..  The gist is: "Either let us keep our special tax breaks, or we will make the economy much
                  worse by cutting back our spending.even more. This morning two talking heads on CNN said the same
                  thing.   I can only imagine what FOX must be saying. 

                  This article is, of course, all hogwash. It completely leaves out the FACT that the rich spend
                  a much  lower percentage of their income (marginal or total) than the poor or even the real middle
                  class do,  The most middle class family in the US, using median family income in 2007 - had a
                  total yearly income of $50,233.  "Households in the mid quintile, with a mean of approximately
                  one income earner per household had incomes between $36,000 and $57,657. Households in the
                  lowest quintile had incomes less than $19,178 and the majority had no income earner.^[11]    The truth
                  is that Obama only wishes to raise the taxes on those with family incomes of more than $220,000/year.
                  Only the very wealthy would have their taxes raised.  The mainstream media would have us
                  believe that a family making $221,000/year is in the middle class.  That would only be true if they
                  had been unemployed for, say, five years and had no exhausted all their savings.

                  Remember how ECON 101 talked about marginal consumption being much higher for a poor
                  person than for a rich person.)  If maximizing consumption in this terrible economy was really their goal.
                  these news services would be advocating doubling or tripling social services' payments. But the
                  media is too saturated with propaganda about how lazy the poor are.  Even though the
                  truth is most are working, just very underpaid.  Many must hold 2 or even 3 jobs to make ends
                  barely meet..

                   >Having studied North Dakota's State owned bank, I would like to find some alternative
                    to the big NY banks.  In that vein, I like what Chris wrote:

                    The best remedy will be the elimination of banking as we know understand it. With the digital age,
                    standing banks have become passe and the economy is reeling from the effects of not leaping into
                    this new understanding for capitalism. People and businesses should be able to borrow directly
                    from the Federal Reserve System, through ATM's, than through 1000's of banks that are now
                    essentially superfluous. Capitalism without these banks will increase the use and flow of money that
                    outpaces the loss of the jobs associated with the current banking system. Imagine borrowing money
                    at 0.25% interest. The Fed Reserve still makes money and the consumer has found a new way of
                    borrowing untold amounts. The spending of these untold amounts will outweigh the loss of the jobs
                    in the banking sector. A new platform for a new type of popular party should state as its premise,
                    that the loss of the current banking structure, and direct borrowing through ATM-type machines
                    from the Federal Reserve System directly (person or business) would encourage trillions of dollars
                    of purchases through seemingly ungodly low interest rates. What do you think?

                    points, which analysts said pointed to worries about United States' long-term credit-worthiness after a
                    Moody's Investors Services sovereign analyst told Dow Jones Newswires the U.S. government needs to
                    elaborate a credible plan to address its soaring debt in order to maintain its Aaa credit rating..."
                    "A lot of individuals at the fixed income side are really nervous about the recent compression in yields," said
                    William Larkin, a fixed income portfolio manager in Salem, Massachusetts. "There's a danger here when
                    you're under 3 percent (in the 10-year note yield). We really need to have a long-term sizable decline
                    in the economy and a very low rates (sic) for an extended period for that to make sense."

                    But Who Trusts Moody's, Anyway?

                       Not me anymore?  We've see in the matters of bundled mortgages that their "AAA"
                    ratings wete easily bought. (See - Moody's Internal Corruption Detailed June 21, 2010).  They
                    did whatever the biggest banks told  them, too. They wanted the money the banks would give
                    them for giving a high rating to make them easier to sell. 

                    And when it came to Greek national debt, they were months behind the curve, seemingly
                    playing the role of the last guest at a short party, namely coming just when the early-birds are
                    departing.

                    8/11/2010 - Nill Black, a former federal regulator during the Savings & Loan Scandal says that,
                    the continued reliance on lawyers, appraisers, rating agencies and auditors ensures these
                    professionals will remain the “most valuable allies to the frauds.” (See: Bill Black's 'Alternative' to Rating
                    Agencies: "Get Rid of Them")

                   Moody's Insiders Sold at Top in 2007 - They Knew The Awful Truth.
                   They Knew The AAA Ratings They Were Giving Our Were A Lie.  They suspected the
                   housing bubble was breaking and that this would bring a financial collapse.

                                                            2007



7/29/2010   Mortgage rates hit low of 4.54 percent "making homebuying (sic) and refinancing the most attractive
                    in decades for those who can get loans."
                    >My earlier sense of this was that the FED had been supplying big banks with an abundance of
                    money, which the banks were using to buy US Treasuries, rather than making business and consumer
                    loans.. But look at the chart below. The Yields on Ten Year Treasuries are now in a particularly
                    steep decline.which professionals are buying.  Why?  Who is buying them?  What do they know ahead
                    of the crowd?  What does this mean for the stock market?

                                                 10-Year Treasury Yields in 2009-2010

                    A puzzling sentence follows in Yahoo's "report:
                     "Yields on U.S. Treasury bonds have dropped as jittery investors seek
                     safer investments." Yahoo seems to be saying that US Treasuries are not considered
                      safe.   WOW!  

                     Is this journalistic hyperbole?  Let's hope so.  The Dollar has weakened as interest rates have fallen.
                     That is normal.  The TigerSoft chart of the Dollar below shows the value to currency traders of our
                     automatic Buys and Sells.  Also look at the blue Tiger Closing Power. Professionals did not bid up
                     the Closing Power on the April run to a new high by the Dollar.  Our best CP Sell comes when the CP
                     uptrend-line is broken after such  a non-confirmation (NC).
.


.                   Is the Dollar about to collapse?  If that were true, gold would be stronger.  I think the problem
                    is DEFLATION.  Housing prices may even start sliding again.  Demand from home buyers
                    who have sufficient credit to borrow meeting the banks very high standards is very low.
                    Relying on banks to extend credit seems a mistake given the poor economy, but that is
                    what the system demands. There has to be a better way, with so many people homeless.

                    Here are some housing stocks that TigerSoft trades very well. Just taking the automatic Buys
                    and Sells and entering long positions at the next day would have gained a trader a lot of profits.
                                      
                             BZH +259%  10 winning trades 1 losing trade. 
                             BHS +262%  11 winning trades 1 losing trade. 

7/28/2010   "Deflation and "Depression." These are two words you do not want to hear
                    in the same sentence.   They describe the worst of all economic worlds.  And they may lie
                    ahead for Americans, judging from the recent drops in consumer confidence, consumer buying
                    and the turn downwards by oil and gold, two key measures of inflation..

                  

.                       Tiger charts show this looking at the stocks of
                                (1) Visa and Master Card - a measure of consumer buying; 
                                (2) USO - Crude Oil - a measure of energy and transportation use
                                (3) Newmont Gold - Gold rises when investors afraid and when
                                they expect inflation .. 
                     All three are on the verge of serious breakdowns and BEAR watching..







                    Here is the take on things by the  the Austrian-Swiss "Gold Standard is everything" promoters.
                   
                   They are right about one thing.  That Milton Friedman's "Monetary-Policy-
                   is everything" was wrong.  Bernanke and the Fed have printed trillions
                   that the banks can borrow for essentially free.  So, money supply is
                   up enormously, but so are nemployment, foreclosures, hoomelessness
                   and grinding, desperate poverty and despair.  The banks would rather
                   play the stock market and buy government bonnds than give "velocity"
                   to all this Fed money by making consumer, home or even business loans.
               .   "Velocity" measures of how quickly money exchanges hands, i.e. is
                  spent or loaned (or perhaps, stolen - in the case of banks) loaned.
                  See   Why Low Velocity Is Our Fundamental Economic Problem

                  ...I disagree, by the way, that this is the fundamental economic problem.
                  I would put more more emphasis on:
                              1   Maldistribution of Wealth,
                              2    the wholesale export of manufacturing jobs,
                              3   the wastefulness of a War Economy,
                              4   the inefficiencies of a crumbling public infrastructure
                                  Schools, roads, mass rapid transit, bridges, water systems...
                              5   the wastefulness of allowing 10%-15% of the population be unemployed
                              6   the cowardly subservience of political leaders to narrow corporate agendas.

                  But the table gives the FED's Velocity.numbers and they do show its policies
                  are producing "money stagnation", to coin a phrase.

7/27/2010  Surely, there must be   more intelligent way to fight terrorism.
                  Congress today approved by a 3:1 margin $33 billion more for Obama's Afghanistan war.
                  It used to be wars were conducted only when the country was thoroughly united.
                  Certainly the War in Viet Nam ended that. Without such unity, accusations of treason
                  are sure to be heard more and more.  Did people in 1953 feel the Korean War
                  was worth fighting?  55% said "NO" in April 1953. The truce that Eisenhower brought
                  about was just what people wanted. 
                  For a moment consider the consequences of giving instead, $1,000 to each of the
                  25 million who are unemployed plus the 10 million who are on employed but
                  get food stamps. They would immediately spend all the money in the US, not 12,000 miles away.
                  The merchants who make these sales would make some extra money.  They would, in turn
                  spend it. This multiplier would bring  a $100 billion stimulus to the economy.
    
7/27/2010 Wikileaks founder fears he will be arrested .    Afghan War Diary, 2004-2010
                  WIKILEAKS.org provided opponents of Obama's Escalated  war in Afghanistan
                  with details of a lot more civilian deaths and Pakistani perfidy than was previously
                  known.   The previously secret documents were made public by American soldiers
                  who believed it was time for Americans to see the futilty of nation-building AND
                  fighting the Taliban in Afghanistan.  SHADES OF THE PENTAGON PAPERS.
                  The hubris of American Presidents is matched by their clear ignorance of basic history.
                  If the Soviet Union, right next door, could not defeat Moslem rebels there, what makes anyone in
                  the Pentagon think they can.   Someone there shouldget them to read a little British

7/27/2010  40 million Americans are now on food stamps.  3 million more are
expected in 2010. And why are unemployment accounts always in percentages? 
Answer because the number of unempoloyedm by any count, is greater now than
the 25 MILLION people who were out of work in 1932.  61% of Americans
now live paycheck to paycheck.  How long must the unemployed wait for a job?
According to Harvard Magazine, 66% of the income growth between 2001 and 2007
went to the top 1% of all Americans.
