Decreasing Productivity and Increasing Wages

___"Federal Reserve Vice Chairman Stanley Fischer called for better fiscal and regulatory policies that could help boost the U.S. economy's flagging productivity growth rate and help the central bank avoid having to drop interest rates to near zero again." The Fed was created in 1913 to maintain a stable currency. Having failed at that, their role was expanded to use monetary policy (low interest rates) to grow the economy. The lower trend in productivity should have nothing to do with the Fed unless industry wants low-interest capital in order to automate.

___We have an anomaly where labor rates are increasing (not necessarily in constant dollars), but productivity is decreasing. In economics only increases in productivity of labor (not automation) should result in wage increases. Now you get paid more whether you work hard or not!

“Subject to the Jurisdiction Thereof”

___This Constitutional requirement for citizenship means that all citizens – even those “born or naturalized in the United States” must have sole allegiance to the American system written down in our Constitution.

___Donald Trump says “those who share our values and respect our people.” That excludes Islamic extremists. It also excludes Black Lives Matter extremists who riot, loot and murder whenever a legal authority kills a black person who is threatening them. Shariah law is incompatible with our Constitution, so immigrants who would implement Shariah law should never become citizens. The multiculturalism seen in Europe allows Islamic enclaves ruled by Shariah law. Islamic State promotes re-establishing the caliphate (1288 to 1924) with Islam as the state religion and Shariah as the legal and moral law. Shariah law is incompatible with our Constitution.

___Progressives want a North American Union similar to the EU with free movement across the borders with Canada and Mexico and the amero as the common currency. The majority of Americans saw this as a loss of American sovereignty and rejected it. NAFTA was implemented as a compromise and millions of illegal aliens were allowed to enter as “undocumented workers.” The Inspector General reported recently that 6.5 million people on active Social Security numbers were over 112 years of age. That indicates that SSANs were illegally recycled to illegals (employers were to be fined for hiring illegals under the immigration law passed in the 1980s). Progressives are desperate to move prisoners-of-war to the United States so that they will be perceived as citizens with legal protections. If you sleep in a garage, then it does not make you a car!

Business Sense is Needed in Government

___It is important to have someone with business sense running the federal government. We are told that cutting taxes will bankrupt the nation. Do businesses have sales in order to destroy their business or to increase the number of customers? We have too many economists who have never run a business!

___Profit is Sales minus Costs. Taxes are a cost which reduces profit. We must make a profit in order to remain in business and keep employees working. Labor is a cost. When automation costs less than manual labor, then we automate and reduce workers. At one time over 90% of Americans were involved in agriculture. Now less than 5% are, but we produce more food! The tractor is more productive than a mule and plow. Technology allows us to plant drought and pest-resistant crops. The same technology effect is true with manufacturing. Some in labor have unrealistic expectations of doing the same job that their father and grandfather did. When excessive labor, regulatory and tax costs drive businesses away, labor blames China or Mexico or big corporations.

___It is unfortunate that people will vote for the politician who offers the largest bribe (PC: incentive). There are over 42 million voting-age Americans with student debt. One bribe will be student loan forgiveness and, while we're at it, free college whether qualified or not. When all but six or seven states are essentially decided, the election will be easily (and illegally) won. Both political parties commit fraud, but there is a reason Progressives hate voter ID! Project Vote has succeeded well in enfranchising the dead and paid transient voters. The IRS has illegally suppressed conservative voting. Government runs the election process (and the DMV and USPS)! Mistakes are made and the effect lasts for years.

___There is a constitutional remedy for federal corruption, but one SC Representative (R-Chester) prevented it. Too bad for US! Hillary was “extremely careless” and did “exceptionally grave damage to the national security.” Our enemies would vote for her!

Note to SC-2 on Tax Reform

You have been in Congress for over 15 years. What specifically have you done for tax reform? I had to declare $11,238 in CODI for Linn Energy, now bankrupt. That is absurd and criminal! Since you voted for funding for Planned Parenthood, Ex/Im Bank and Common Core, making me pay for income I never received makes it even more absurd!

Coming Economic Earthquake

___The federal government blaming the lenders for the “mortgage crisis” of 2007 is like someone throwing cash from a rooftop and blaming people for picking up the money! The Fed maintained very low interest rates far too long. The government threatened lawsuits for racism if minority loans were denied. Presidents bragged about increases in home ownership. The lenders packaged the loans and sold them as quickly as possible.

___Fast forward to 2016. Global interest rates are so low that Japan and Germany have negative interest rates. The Obama Administration's goal is income and wealth re-distribution. Taxpayers subsidize sub-prime lending, forgiveness of debt and HARP loans. Work requirements for welfare have been dropped and the rolls of the non-working have swelled. The divider-in-chief has sown discontent and class warfare and our police are reaping the consequences.

___The stock market is at an “all-time high,” but the value in constant dollars has decreased. It is a financial sham. When this bubble bursts, the effects will be much worse than 2007!

11-year-old Patricia Harrington Fights Crime by Illegal Aliens

___Two illegal aliens, Ralphel Resindez,23, and Enrico Garza, 26, probably believed they would easily overpower home-alone 11-year-old Patricia Harrington after her father had left their two-story home. It seems the two crooks never learned two things: they were in Montana and Patricia had been a clay-shooting champion since she was nine.

___Patricia was in her upstairs room when the two men broke through the front door of the house. She quickly ran to her father's room and grabbed his 12-gauge Mossberg 500 shotgun.

___Resindez was the first to get up to the second floor only to be the first to catch a near point blank blast of buckshot from the 11-year-old's knee-crouch aim. He suffered fatal wounds to his abdomen and genitals.

___When Garza ran to the foot of the stairs, he took a blast to the left shoulder and staggered out into the street where he bled to death before medical help could arrive. It was found out later that Resindez was armed with a stolen 45-caliber handgun he took from another home invasion robbery. That victim, 50-year-old David 0'Burien, was not so lucky. He died from stab wounds to the chest.

The Progressive Method Explained

___Obama and Clinton both are disciples of Saul Alinsky. In the 1950s and ’60s, Alinsky was a very well-known Marxist/communist community organizer. In his book Rules for Radicals, in which he praises Lucifer as “the first radical,” he explained how to achieve the left’s Marxist/communist goals. The first thing is to divide people by race, sex and culture by spreading hate. He went on to explain that creating racism among blacks was a great tool, and most likely the tool that would help overthrow America’s capitalist government. Alinsky said it was OK to use any means to achieve his goals. He believed it was perfectly OK to lie, cheat, steal and even cause some deaths if necessary.

___If you are caught with your hand in the cookie jar (inciting division and riots), then quickly make a video showing you giving cookies to hungry and needy children.
