Our suggestions to bolster main street economy
Over the last two plus years we have made some suggestions concerning areas of focus, as well as initial
steps for implementation that we believe would have had a positive economic impact on main street USA..
Our suggestions were based upon our recognition of the reality, that to a very large extent the economy of the
USA has shifted away from that of a production/manufacturing based economy... (We believe
steps need to be taken to turn this around)
To that of an economy that derives much of it's current
vitality from servicing the "comfort needs" of our population, as well as what we call "monetary
churning".
The focus of our suggestions fell in three main areas. A.) Banking/wallstreet B.) The housing
market C.) Job creation.
A.) We would have instituted a process that would have more clearly nationalized
those banks that would not have survived without government aid.
Our process would have allowed for
these institutions to go private again once their debt to the taxpayer had been re-payed..would have also provided
an additional process to allow a restoration of stock values..again after debt had been repaid.
We
believe that doing so would have placed the global economic structure more closely into a position/status
that would have allowed further needed reforms/evolutions the best chance to be realized.. Current situation may
have added critical road blocks that will now serve to impede needed global economic, "monetary" reforms.
B.) We made suggestion to protect housing values..economic situation was dumping product...I.E. "foreclosed
homes etc" into the housing market. Our suggestions would have significantly reduced the number of foreclosures, our suggestions would have also removed from the market this glut of homes, government would have
held in "trust"? these properties, allowing them to be sold "trickle fashion" so that home values
would not be undermined.
C.) We made suggestion to stimulate job creation, and protection. Took our
primary concepts here from FDR..
Make work.. clean up a wet land, clean up a city, build a power
plant etc.. We had the opportunity to create approximately 20,000 to 30,000 jobs per state, at a cost
of approximately $1 Billion dollars per state. would have provided an average salary of approximately $35,000.00
per year, per position. This may not have helped the stock brokers much on wallstreet...but it would have
helped keep the sandwich shop, office supply store, flowershop, hairstylist on mainstreet, open and going.
Our suggestions would have also allowed for approximately $1 billion per year, per state to help make
up for budgetary shortfalls. This would have helped to stabilize approximately 90% of the state budgets.. schools,
jobs etc..
Where would this $100 billion per year have come from under our proposals?
Money would
have come from real health care reform, which has the ability to free up approx. $1 Trillion dollars per year for
other purposes.. Such as our survival?..We could also trim $100 billion per year from our military
budget? Time may still remain to start making better decisions, stop the magical thinking.
What do they say? every journey starts with the first step.

U.S. November 2010 national elections: An IQ test for the world to view
As we move further towards the U.S of Idiocracy...The truly numbing lack of quality candidates present in far too
many of the national political contests does not bode well for our nation.
CSM
We also commented
on the supreme court actions allowing corporations to donate, in a virtually unrestricted manner, to political
campaigns, without missing a beat this corrupt process is now under way..pushing multiple ill thought, right
wing candidates or policies.
When the working poor and remaining middle class republicans wake up and
smell the coffee, and realize the extent to which their being used as political cannon fodder..the extent
to which their backgrounds and/or world views are allowing themselves to be manipulated...well if we're still
here..we might be able to fix some things.
But keep in mind it looks like those same folks that brought
us Prison Nation USA, are now moving towards "war world" and folks it is not going to be like some John
Wayne movie.. or Ivanhoe...
Keeping it as honest as I can,... things had finally gotten bad enough
by Nov.2008, in my opinion, that I could no longer continue my normal process of voting for the best 3rd party
candidates on the ticket..I felt even with my disgust with the democrats, that what the "turd blossom"
tribe was doing and selling, had to be stopped. So we voted/supported Obama, I think he could be a great President..
I think he has actually done a pretty solid job, especially when you consider what was on the plate he
was handed and the options he has had to make do with.
But true to form the democrats have been a bunch of wimpy, whiny, cowards both intellectually, politically etc....
Colin Stuart McCoy Yes, we are fully aware of the environment of obstructionist resistance the Dem's have had to face,
clearly with the Rep's party politics is more important than the nation, the people, etc.....
Never
has it been clearer that the Republican party serves the interests of "corporate america" over the vested
interests of Americans. And they get away with it because of the large number of "magical thinkers" that call the Republican party home.
Dem's are of course part and party to some of this as well.
But, back to the Dem's, we are also aware of the informed, professional, and tireless Democratic members of
congress that are trying to serve as we expect them to...We on main-street, would like to see,hear,feel to a far larger degree the outrage,disgust, frustration you say you are feeling, we on main street want to see
you march down to local media and get angry, call these people out...Name them, publicize
their names and processes for the people to see.
My personal opinion tends to be that
of Republican elected officals 5% to 10% are pretty solid public officials, of those who belong to the Democratic
party, perhaps 40% give or take,.. try, and are able to serve effectively.

An Accounting...brief update
Seven areas for brief review..
1.)Commentary on national/local educational topics... We continue to
be right on the bulls eye..Continued confirmation on our analysis can be found through many sources.
About
a week ago Larry King had a great show that nailed many issues on the head.
2.)Commentary on environmental
issues.. Again we have been consistently right on the money.
3.)Commentary on nations prison system, and criminal justice court systems. Again on the money independent studies are confirming our analysis, as time
goes by more confirmational sources are being created.
National experts overwhelmingly state that only about 10% to perhaps 20% of the drop in crime rates can be attributed to the massive increase in incarceration
rates in the U.S.
The damage done our society through said prison population increase, would have made Joseph McCarthy proud.
4.)Our analysis of problems within established religious institutions, regarding various aspects of corruption, or discriminatory hate promotion.. Bulls eye.
5a.) Our analysis of
the failed aspects of the bailout program..I.E. Jobs/housing.. bingo. reports continue to address the impacts of
the lack of support for mainstreet USA over the past couple years. Elimination of the middle class..growth
between rich and poor. Could be very grim.
5b.) Bailout program.. Banks and Wallstreet. Indications here
are that there are several areas where we could have been wrong. However, Things are still very fluid here.. and people are really beginning to see that the bank economy or the wallstreet economy "recovery" is
not helping them or their community, as our country approaches 3rd world status on a growing number of categories.
Also our areas of focus while not perhaps providing the support or saving? of the Banking or Wallstreet
in the same manner as what has been implemented..it would have provided far greater support for the issues mentioned under 5a.)..
Still plenty of room for the wheels to come off the 5b.) bus in very dramatic fashion.
{Please note that our concerns/criticisms of the TARP/or Economic Stimulas effort are made with our full knowledge and recognition of the societal benefits these efforts have provided.}
6.) The wars in Iraq, and Afghanistan. Our concerns about these two conflicts have almost universally come to
be recognized as accurate..battle field commander reports now add to confirmational perspectives.
We
hope and pray that we are proven to be completely wrong in the final outcome of these two conflicts.
