The need for re-industrializing America
(Originally posted at
my.barackobama.com)
Beyond political discourse, we need to face the reality that America’s economy has been declining since mid 2001. The economic policies of the Bush administration did nothing to encourage the creation of new industries.
If we use the image of an engine to represent the economy, what the Bush administration has been doing [...]
Why fundamental analysis of commodities is wrong, and irrational
I have discussed in several articles my position that gold is just another commodity subject to the ebb and flow of speculative money. Today I will talk a little bit about oil and why I think all the fundamental analysis are fundamentally wrong.
If I write that we are experiencing peak oil price rather than peak [...]
This 4th of July…
This 4th of July, as we’re celebrating independence and freedom, many senators are getting ready to come back to Washington and sell out some of our most fundamental freedoms.
Don’t let it happen.
Take action now.
Dear ACLU Supporter,
On Tuesday, July 8th, the Senate will consider an unconstitutional [...]
The Myth of the Bush Administration Being Strong on Homeland Security
As the political campaign ramps up, the McCain cohort is trying to shape the debate of American politics around the single issue of Homeland Security.

This phenomenon is transforming blogging from a personal form of expression into just another form of making [...]
Political Radar: McCain: Not Offended By Alleged Age-Baiting
The news is inconsequential: another entry to the endless entertainment of electoral politics. However, I just found it funny that the McCain campaign read Obama’s “losing his bearings” comment as a commentary about his age, and not his temper.
I’ve only heard old people using the expression to denote senility, most young people use “lose your [...]
The Real Economy III: The People’s GDP
Back in November, I showed how the capital of American businesses was contracting. I said "regardless of any official announcement of recessions, US businesses have been behaving as they normally do during recessions." It is hard to understand why American businesses are becoming recession-like illiquid when the GDP numbers don’t seem to show any signs [...]
American Workers’ Dwindling Participation in America’s Riches
The following chart shows the salaries of American workers compared to GDP. As you can see, it has been falling steadily since 1969.
But for a few good years during the Clinton administration, American workers have very little to cheer about, having less participation in the economy than during the depression years.
This is not the [...]
