The Economy A Presidential Matter

“It’s the economy stupid” and “read my lips, no new taxes” were the railing cries that highlighted the 1992 Presidential election. The similarity of those catch phrases echos today. In our history as a democratic republic Washington, Lincoln, Theodore Roosevelt, FDR, and JFK whose stewardship launched America into greatness corresponds like the great chefs of today. They are all conductors orchestrating a perfect sympathy, a harmonious union of delectable delights or creating that more perfect union.

We have a unique opportunity in this Presidential cycle where the choices are crystal clear. On one hand there is an oligarch teeming with incoherent rhetoric that spews inconsequential nonsense that has really no bearing on the prospects for uniting this nation into that more perfect union. And on the other hand, one is poised to accept the responsibility to bind this nations wounds and close the income disparity gap that has corrupted our founding principles of Liberty, Justice, Education and Morality.

To empower the American public to have the availability and the ability to elevate their quality of life those we elect to public service especially a President must realize it really boils down to the economy.  Understanding what has happened just within the past 50 years our government has created an economy that has failed the American public. But when our public is being duped into a false sense of easing the financial burden placed upon millions by imposing price controls to combat the inflationary trends in just ever item for daily life only creates a drastic measure that creates more inflation.

This is why we have to be students of history. For if we fail to learn what history teaches us, we become more prone to repeat mistake that were made. History is full of receptive situations that have decimated humanity. To rectify our economic fortunes of impoverished millions we have to realize what is the root cause of our economic misfortunes. The most apparent cause has always been when governmental policies have been swayed by mega- corporations fueling campaign coffers to pass legislation and ease restrictions so that they gain more control of competitive markets. This in turn enables them to gain more profitability. When there is less competition in the marketplace prices always rise, Hense inflation occurs.

Today, there are just a few mega-corporations that control just about every aspect of American life. The monopolies that have taken hold of our economy have strangled the pocketbooks of consumers all across the country. The profiteering continues and when we put price controls in place instead of more competitive markets the inflationary trends of today will only get worse. Now the question is how do we restore competitive markets in an otherwise monopolized economy? The worst thing as Trump stated higher tariffs for imports. There again we have to go back to the Smoot-Hawley Act of 1930. This legislation proved to be one of the most catastrophic economic failures in American history. 

Lessons from history we all should learn from. Don’t be fooled by either action whether it is ushering price controls or higher tariffs both are very dangerous options thar should never be put in play for the American public. Now the question still remains how a President can orchestrate a resurgence of economic fortunes for the American public? The first step is to recognize our economic misfortunes have always been tied to the disingenuous domestic and foreign policies of the past 55 years. It is from these policies that have made the rest of the world a tinder box ready to ignite flames of terror here and abroad. This recent school shooting just showcases how far we still have to go to ensure safety in our schools and the public in general.

When we recognize what governmental past and present policy directives have and continue to do in dismantling the economic balance that should be evident in our society is the first step in correcting the imbalances. To do that requires an understanding of what implementation of National Economic Reform’s Ten Articles of Unification will do for the US and the rest of the world. An elected official especially the President has the obligation to the public to lay out a decisive plan of direction for this nation and the world. National Economic Reform’s Ten Articles will provide the necessary steps to ensure Americas future and the world.
