6-25-13:  In the mean time[*], I ran into someone who was quite concerned with the likes of the current goings on, in particular certain market happenings.  Not to be obtuse but it gave me a chance to till my fertilizer and other field theories. (fn1)

Economy Killers: Inequality and GOP Ignorance

VFW :

Curve Wars? Bell Curve meets Laffer Curve.

[There is a paradox to the bell curve reference, or counter-intuitive meeting. How ironic the Laffer curve is a Bell curve, but their meeting results in The L-Curve.]

[It may be dangerous(i.e. fuzzy math and English) to insert irony or mixed metaphors/charts, but I will now switch streams.]

There seems to be an overly conservative perspective on government spending in the Krugman/Wells article with the use of the word temporary:

In 2008 we suddenly found ourselves living in a Keynesian world — that is, a world that very much had the features John Maynard Keynes focused on in his 1936 magnum opus, “The General Theory of Employment, Interest and Money.” By that we mean that we found ourselves in a world in which lack of sufficient demand had become the key economic problem, and in which narrow technocratic solutions, like cuts in the Federal Reserve’s interest rate target, were not adequate to that situation. To deal effectively with the crisis, we needed more activist government policies, in the form both of temporary spending to support employment and efforts to reduce the overhang of mortgage debt.

It ignores the long-term infrastructure deficit otherwise know as investment in our infrastructure. Given the skewed GOP perspective on cutting spending over recovering taxes and investing in the country, it is no wonder growth, which is not the answer*** alone anyway, is not faring well.

Note fuzzy, not to mention capitalized Bell and un-capitalized bell curve.(ouch)

Try Angle

Here are a few pieces that intersect.
Re-Rights,
Checks,
And Balances. [^^^]

How? Well, we have the Judiary, Congress, and the Executive perspectives.
The bottom line is account ability. Yes, that is two words under three branches.
We have the accounting of Bush v. Gore, trickle down, and the slippery slope. Juctices can't count, economics does, and they all matter. I will try not fall into the trap of the previous post with technical difficulties arising from the burden of
tangents and links, or whatever the problem*** is, but it is a matter of looking back** at where we were and how we got there, with Bush the Decider, the current economic climate of understanding Trickle-Down and Slippery-Slopes, and the Executive we are lucky to have in the face of mythical* obstructionism and obfuscation. In fact, again I have only read the first and glanced a bit at the others but they are almost a protractor or other instrument of our graphic nature and the geometry of purpose that some have. i.e. It was not my original intent but maybe there is some intelligent design, in that it is about Re-Writing our social architecture. Re-writing checks and balances, economics is the bottomline and whether there is Bane or Change, and I don't mean Bain or Boehner.

* mythical: as in monstrously huge if not fantastical.
** well they did arise so there! I mean here:
and see Lord of markets,
and values politics. Economics is not without politics and values.***

Format Change

Just as I was about to rearrange my blog a format change has been triggered. As you might note, the link to the title or lede will get you there*, as well as Home under PAGES.

Item 1 as originally intended

Item 2 as previously top of posts and other sources

BLOG ARCHIVE is the most expedient navigation section.

But note E(blogger) box(magnifying glass) < search this blog > box in top left corner, as well as Labels below.

* at this point the default lede link is itself,

if viewed from Home PAGES (anomaly this post)

(image, charts, cartoons and photos to follow)

[Not to mention try angles.]

At this time I would like to archive two Republican Debates to be viewed later.

Meet the Press Video 1-8-12 (factc checks)

And FoxNews. 1-16-12

At some point I may move this page, but for now this will suffice.

There will also be a quibble about whether "Free Enterprise" is on trial, or whether it is Science Friction.**

Actually these are not the most current** or accurate links. I believe it was Halloween when the question arose. Just who are these guys trying to be? Or not to be [!] Nor Hamlet, nie* 2016.
Actually, that is one point. For Republicans it is all about 2016. Not that what happens in 2011 stays in 2011[!] But the question I beg, is who are the flavors of the month trying be? Romney is the supposed shoe in. Cain and Perry seem to be going for broke***.

The Dream Blog

Just another one of those things, a dream or this time blog that was so vivid, I made no attempt to hold on to it. And sure enough within two steps from bed it was not so clear. Well, I will make no attempt to recapture it, instead recalling an earlier idea from the previous day. I told a buddy, there needs to be a new party. De Calf Party. But after a few minutes of his rant on current events, something stronger was called for. In related matters, we do need something that presents a stronger plan[***] to the American people and someone who bargains like Boehner.[**]
Meanwhile I think I will try this De Calf.

[The Next Big Thing: The Debt Ceiling, And Speaker Boehner says it will not be raised without something big attached. Polls show people against raising it, as well as against* raising taxes. The only thing left will be more cuts.]

GOP Plan to Hurt Economy

Huffington Post reports that ABC reports that:

A Goldman Sachs economist has warned that the $60 billion package of spending cuts proposed by the Republicans to counter President Obama's proposal could slow economic growth.

[Bucking Beck and Bank for the Buck?
As I passed on to MoveOn the one thing that needs to be known.]


WISCONSIN UPDATE:
I'm not going to make a big production out of this but I see it differently than Ed Schultz**, who wants to hold Obama to his word about "comfortable shoes" and the picket line campaign rhetoric. I believe that circomstances are above and beyond the original scenario and he will be dealing with it more like Libya, behind the scenes and strategically and with everything at his disposal from a big picture perspective. That is not at all to use a violent analogy, only one within the bounds of his responsibilities and the law.

Before the straw that broke the camels back* and I almost violated my original intent here, I will simply add one (or two) more link.

* a computer or blog-spot glitch wiped out a more complete draft regarding mixed metaphor and big productions(original intent)

Happy President's Day

by George or state or other.

Washington's Birthday by Fed.



Belly Up to the Bill Boys or Girls.

Somewhere[**] I must locate certain economic links.* The point? Debt is a mis-management issue, indicating that business types have no business running government as a business.(see "certain" six). Two particulars: Wisconsin is not even one of the top 25 states likely to go bankrupt. "Benefits" are not "entitlements", they are owed by contract and negotiated so as bargained away wages. Debt is a red herring that is very fishy.

[Walking the line...w/Sam Stein, a tangent of empathy or introspection or straddling it with w/Paul Krugman, or neo-alterior line?*]

* there is some cognitive dissonance in this; America as a business, the private FED, and not just to pun on read or black [updated]

[** 1-25-11 Not exactly a huge effort to find the Republican Health care plan [Plan] but... here is more of a reply all, to the challenge, thanks to Rachel Maddow.]
[Not exactly up to the challenge above, nor exactly pro-rated, but still pre-speech... the challenge was the sources and keys to them, and it seems the media is not really up to the challenge or it takes more hard work. However, part of the challenge is the political nature of the media itself***. While attention has been given to a third so-called party within a party as a reply to the State of the Union, where is the so called Left? The Republicans have divided themselves to conquer so to speak, is there a voice let alone plan from the left in there, other than the pundits of lean forward? Or is Obama the Middle Bear's porridge? Just right.]

*** follow-upHowever: a turn spike.

[1-26-11 UPDATE: but just a hunch, as I pause the video, as the applause is still rolling, as the President enters the chamber, in the Welcome to the Enhanced State of the Union, the point is immediate: Winning The Future. Competition and Foreign Policy will not be foreign to Coordination.]

Inconvenient

or ignoble* hope.

* original word more bombastic but escapes me
[I will get straight to the point, the bold link is the point, and it will be thrilling if Republicans think they can sustain their gameplan. It is clear that this is an overreach** of analysis and polling to think that Republicans will have a veto-proof House and is admitted in their very next step, a "piecemeal approach".]

** this link is self-reflective not on Krugman's (Voodoo to Dance Video)
No pun intended.

[vis a vis "on the other hand", the fulcrum of the see saw?]
seesaw = pun on perspectivism (Right-Left, Tea Party-No Label, Republican-Obama)Progressive is the fulcrum not the lever, people are the load and counterbalance. In the last contrast; a party with a leader, we may have something. I can't really see No Labels as a movement, let alone a party, but it could have a dialogue at a coffee party.
