Responses To: "System Crisis"


Subject: "System Crisis" created on 04/26/09 by vladimir
I just finished reading very small Book “Politics: Easy as P.I..E.” by Bob McEwen. P.I.E. means Politics = Integrity + Economics. 4 Key points are mentioned in his book, which I would like to comment on.

1. In the 1950s Americans paid 20% in taxes, now we pay over 40% in taxes. Reason: incompetence, corruption or inaction of our governments at all levels. All the layers of our inefficient government are becoming less & less competent & taxes are going up across the board. On the other side we a have quasi-government Federal Reserve Board, which is suppose to regulate the economy & the banking system.Which is really a private run banking cartel. And if you look at the biographies of our last 3 Fed Reserve Chairmen, you will find that none of them came from the private sector. Current Treasury Secretary with extensive background in his department (who for some reason is fixing our banking system) did not pay his taxes? Would you let a non-practicing professor of medicine become your doctor?

I must also say that old boys network favoritism & corporate greed became dominate in the private sector as well. VLAD read 'the shock doctrine'

Our new President promised us change. There is no change that can come from the seasoned burocrates or theoretical economists he has on his economic team (Clinton era reruns). None of them warned us about the system crisis we are going through. How can we trust them today? (They set this up, and now they tell us they can fix it?)

2. Capitalism is better then socialism. Most of you would not argue about this. There is only one pure isolated socialist country left in the world: North Korea .

3. Freedom. Freedom without good judgment and social responsibilities can not work. We are harvesting the fruits of unregulated corrupt free market economy right now. It seems to me that between our President & Congress we are wasting our time on unproductive discussions. Our government is bailing out corp America on our dime.Look at the CFO of quizi-government Freddie Mac who committed sueside this week. I wonder if anybody will take the time to investigate that. Yet in my judgment we still have Bank subprime lenders, loose credit lenders, FHA & payday lenders keep hurting Americans because our Federal Government does not think that these activities are hurting people. Let me ask you these questions:

Was our government right when it ignored development of alternative energies in 40 years?

Was our government right when US helped Osama Bin Laden to develop his troops in Afghanistan ?

Was our government right when US troops did not finish war with Iraq in early 90s?

Was our government right when we were motivated to buy bigger homes & cars & expensive vacations, exc.?

Was our government right when US ignored all the terrorist attacks in 90s?

Was our government right when our troops invaded Iraq after falsified CIA information?

Was our government right when during the new cabinet appointments we have discovered different kinds of violations by our Public Servants, some of whom still continue to serve us?

Were our elected officials correct issuing laws that make our lives more & more complex in this country?

I think it’s time for us ( USA ) from the country of showing a smile (there is nothing wrong with the smile) to become a country of substance, from a country of followers to a country of thinkers, from a country of greed & fear to a country of freedom with competence & faith.

4. Integrity. This is something that stands above money & can be excesized by each one of us voluntarily in very simple manner. If we do not know something we should say we do not know it. If something we were asked to do is not good for the client, we say & say why.

Now I would like to remind you what I have said before:

We have a stigma in this country: sell, sell, and sell instead of value added service.

Knowledge in all fields has been prevailed by ignorance with quick action or inaction.

Motivational speakers teach people how to sell using different sales techniques just to make money.

Since the lobbysts of Wall Street were the intruders who pressured former President Roosevelt to abandon all the global regulations of the international economics and trade, President Obama has the moral obligation to correct the errors of the USA lobbyists and must table in the UN to restore the democratic global regulations of economics and trade, the following simple motions:
- His initiative to create the Charter of Economic Rights and Obligations, supporting an International Monetary System based on currencies pegged to the GNP/capita.
- His success to have approved this legally binding monetary system by an overwhelming majority in the UN would render all currencies of tangible value, like the old Gold Standard. Central Banks would issue now “value currencies” and would give their governments lines of credit at 0% and 100 yrs. term to have immense financing for national development and social justice, which is the function of Central Banks in democratic Nations. Each State would recover the sovereign and independent management of its national economy.
- Trade in this democratic global economy must be bilateral of equal value, and all existent agreements restrictive of trade must be revoked by majority in the General Assembly of the UN. This reciprocal trade of equal value creates jobs in both countries and leads to a global full employment within 3 years, if engineers of all Nations work together through the UN.
The above three points would restore the international economy to a democratic global system similar to that prevailing in the 1800s, which was invaded and discarded by the Wall Street lobbyists and led to the disappearence of the legally binding monetary system of that time. The most powerful Nations such as Russia, China, India, Brazil, Venezuela, Cuba North Korea, Iran and South Africa must lead all Members to restore the fair, honest, democratic and necessary Universal Monetary System of present day global economics. We, the engineers of TEIC firmly believe that the White House - even if now has an exceptionally respectable, honest and endowed President - has “no right nor authority” to deny all the Nations in the World the certitude to manage their economic crisis and obtain full employment in 36 montths. The global crisis can only be solved by optimizing the collaboration of all the Member States of the UN, irrespective of their political orientations. The solution is managed by engineers who do not input politics in their professional work, and reacionary countries can work together with communist ones through the ethics of their engineers. It is the General Assembly of the UN that has legal power to restore the necessary global regulations to save Humanity from further degradation of our Planet, and they must use all the engineers available to succeed that job for the survival of our grand-children in a healthy Planet. In international affairs the General Assembly must restore its supremacy, under the leadership of the most powerful Nations. Only fair trade equally beneficial to all Nations (no only to American CEOs) is the key to rescue the Planet from further Corporate abuse.
The close advisors of the President must try to keep the international image of Hon. Obama credible and respectable, in spite of the corrupted political firewall of Washington. Please be reminded that President Obama himself has asked all those who know real economics to offer solutions. TEIC has offered its engineered solution developed since 1985 when the international TEIC group of voluntary researchers was formed in Cameroon. It is time to separate the retrograde Demagogues in Congress from the Statesman in the White House.
