1. Every enlightened person was for globalization
2. Rising middle classes buy our goods and it reduces extremism
3. More trade is less wars - and this was important when we thought the wars were nucleur.
4. - so those were good things - but in our rush - we forgot Reagans use of the russian saying trust but verify.
5. So we cant help the world by buying its goods if we dont export and produce too!
========
So Obama does get it.
But what do we do about it?
The basic principle of green economics is internalizing the externalities. A business should not be able to cream the profits and avoid the destructive costs of their product, whether its tobacco, heroin, or coal fired power for factories. Additionally Factory farming is bad for the soil, but determining what the right "adjustments" are is a difficult new branch of economics.
So the Government amasses Green Taxes.
What do we do with the money. I say a reverse sales tax for goods which have side effects which are positive, or normative.
How do you price all this out - well Obama -shows a glimmer again at his Cooper hall speech - talking about outdated regulatory structures - and in the new regulatory structure - that is if you can borrow from the discount Window of the Fed - you should be subject to its regulation.
The way we get all the offsets right is to shut down the corrupt venal game in Washington -
I propose that everyone be able to override their legislator on any vote - so we have hybrid direct -representative government. And we be allowed to fire people directly. Make em fear us. - And whats with all the cops. Cops - are basically an investment in closing the barn door after the horse is gone -sane people in prosperous commmunities do not need massive amounts of police.
========
Then we have the dillema of
The middle class and poor are taking it from 5 ends right now -
1) Huge Government debt, we were freaked when it hit 1 trillion under reagan - now its hitting - 10 trillion - Whats the interest on 10 Trillion dollars. per person per day. we are getting close
2) Stagnant wages - combined with less free time - leading to worse quaity of life - and more screwed up kids.
3) Outsourcing - the number of white collar jobs leaving this country is staggering.
4) De-Industrialization - meaningless local economies.
5) Illegal immigration: Illegal immigration is a distraction. Every country which has poorer neighbors will attract migrants who will do its bottom tier jobs.
============================
So Obama's positions are all good: But unless we can get people in Government directly accountable with real feedback - WHat if we did -10% tax to random and +10% tax specify.
Sunshine Laws:
=============
Hillary - your up against a master - dont criticize him unless you mean it - that is you are giving him guidance.
obama is a socialist

@nsbRandomVideos let me put a label on you so I can put you in a box and hate you" i heard this at a meeting once :-) Fascism, Corporatist semi-republicanism (as in republic not the party), anarchy whatever - the question is competence and honesty - the Chinese are Commies - and they are being openly admired right now - no pesky congress - They built a kickass navy in two years -we need to stop bickering and wake up and smell the coffee

I agree that this video could be confusing. I do believe that Part 2 is much better. If you dont like Part 2, sepuku is imminent.

You do realize that McCain and Obama are just another pair of crooked politicians right? Did you even look at their records?
man95000 3 years ago
I am into policy - not personality - I think that of - Clinton McCain and Obama - Obama was the right choice. But I am my own political hub - I do not "follow" anybody - I "ally" with people. I dont have time to put it better right now. I hope everybody feels the same way. I am v. happy US picked a qualified minority President: Helps make discrimination less frequent Only of 3 not born into privilege also good. He is a smart guy - which we need. I can certainly respect your holding that view.
