WE pick pieces! Then we debate pieces. We need to regain nationwide and global Capitalistic Competitive capabilities! Without this we'll go broke. It requires knowledge of the problem and knowledge of the solution! The best article I've found that fully explains reasons and solutions in a really practical way that totally impressed me as a conservative was at: www.hedgemastermb.blogspot.com. The title is "Americas Economic Future". Just scroll down the page.

Let's discuss a return to Competitive Capitalism. We preached this 60 years ago to recovering nations then quickly put it aside in the middle 1960's after the brutal death of a great young President . The next President raided Social Security, created a massive welfare program without work constraints and pursued a questionable war. The vast expense of all this caused the next president to remove the Gold standard. Then by Unionizing the Government and causing most of our manufacturing to leave the country due to Government Agency harassment, we lost our long term economy. Mexico is getting all of our jobs now. GE,GM, Honeywell, Goodrich many others. Read Article! "Americas Economic Future" at www.hedgemastermb.blogspot.com.

In 2009 in Cairo, President Obama gave his first foreign policy debut. Left out of reporting was the Front two rows of the auditorium generally reserved for high Cairo officials was blocked of for the exclusive use of the Muslim Brotherhood as reported in several Jewish newspapers. Today we have President Morsi. What has he done objectively? 1. He created a Constitution away from the elected representatives 2. He installed powerful Sharia law which endangers freedoms and safety for Females and Minority Religions. 3. He's created martial law at first opportunity to become a Dictator. 4. He has in the past, without retraction, called the Jewish people Pigs and Bloodsuckers and more. He will get 20 F16's and 200 Abram Tanks Why?

Good reply!!

Katie, I liked your message very much! We really need two changes in our Conservative structures and thinking. One, change management. Paul Ryan for House Speaker and Jim DeMint for Senate Speaker. Better capabilities. The next is cautionary; there will be attempts to modify Simpson Bowles. Don't allow it. Simpson Bowles is a good "Conclusion" not a beginning. The other thing that should be pointed out. Nancy Pelosi had beliefs that were totally contrary to mine! However, I greatly admired her unrepentant unwillingness to compromise her one sided attempts! Our leadership must employ that far more if we hold authentic beliefs.

Larry is always good! His remarks day to day track tough issues. There may be one danger we haven't quite thought about. The article here is too long to post but important! http://mbhedgemaster.blogspot.com/2012/10/sequestration-fiscal-cliff.html

Great Article! I do fear there is one great danger we may be overlooking! and , it could happen before the end of the year! The article is too long to post! http://mbhedgemaster.blogspot.com/2012/10/sequestration-fiscal-cliff.html

There remains because of the howls from business to resolve the sequester one huge risk not being looked at!! http://mbhedgemaster.blogspot.com/2012/10/sequestration-fiscal-cliff.html

Cris, you're probably right. Currency depends on underlying value. Our economy as you've rightly pointed out is recently showing the weaknesses of manufacturing. When compared to the past work ratios it show that the percentages of Government employees versus manufacturing employees from 1960 to now is frightening. In 1960 8.7 million in government 15 million in manufacturing. In 2010, 24 million jobs in government compared to 10.5 million in MFG. Banks continue to hold Derivatives and Credit Default Swaps (CDS) in all debt including Sovereign debt that busted MF Global and causes hedging with volitile sythetic hedges hurting JP Morgan.
