On Somalian Famine

Posted on July 21, 2011 by john

Dear Friends, It seems to me, if the Romans had fed, clothed and housed the civilian population of Carthage, history would not have been written in Latin and we might be worshipping Baal. Had the Allies fed, clothed and provided … Continue reading →

Politics and the US Debt Debate

Posted on July 18, 2011 by john

Dear Friends, It seems to me extremely disingenuous for the politicians to have created this budget problem and are now using it to attack each other. The ramifications, for not only the US economy, but for the World economy as … Continue reading →

“rights” vs Rights

Posted on July 14, 2011 by john

Dear Friends, It seems to me, many people believe that food, clothing, shelter, and healthcare are human rights. While it is absolutely a fundamental human right to have access to them, it is not a right to have someone else … Continue reading →

The US Debt Ceiling

Posted on July 10, 2011 by john

Dear Friends, It seems to me that the US debt problem is secondary to the jobs problem. The continued loss of jobs has a tremendous effect on workers today but the effect magnifies over time. If you are a worker … Continue reading →

Self Interested Voting

Posted on July 7, 2011 by john

Dear Friends, It seems to me that what the people of the Middle East need, far more than democracy, (if what they want is liberty), is a functional market system. Not only the Middle East but all over the World. … Continue reading →

Greece and Their Spending

Posted on June 30, 2011 by john

Dear Friends, It seems to me that when governments get into predicaments like Greece they are acting very much like alcoholics. They display the same behaviors and attitudes. The descent path is even similar. It’s funny how macro economic phenomenon … Continue reading →

My Confession

Dear Friends, It seems to me that there can be an effective ad homonym attack made on me and my motives in writing my blogs. The assault could be that I stand to gain materially if the ideas that I … Continue reading →

It’s the Economy Stupid

Graphing Government Economic Friction

Posted on May 29, 2011 by john

Cultural Knowledge

Posted on May 26, 2011 by john

Dear Friends, It seems to me that most economists are looking at the extrinsic facts and drawing conclusions that are in fact at odds with the intrinsic qualities of those very facts. Extrinsic facts are like “a blade of grass … Continue reading →
