"...Never
has the wealth gap in America been so wide. This creates the initial
conditions for a very uncertain and potentially
unstable and explosive political and economic future..."
The last words my
father spoke to me before he died in 1996 was, [“Gregor],
somebody is going to have to do something to help the poor.”
Fast forward to 2017.
Never has the wealth gap in America been so wide. This creates the
initial conditions for a very uncertain and potentially unstable and explosive
political and economic future.
I just woke up, for
example, to see these two articles juxatposed on my news aggregator.
Why does America have so many
hungry kids? – CNN
Summer in the Hamptons: Oysters,
Rosé, and Helicopter Noise? – WSJ
One article is about
how 13 million American children go to bed hungry every night and the other is
about the 1 percenters, who are now taking helicopters to their Hampton summer
homes to avoid traffic. What in the hell is happening to our
country?
Average
wealth has increased over the past 50 years, but it has not grown equally for
all groups. Between 1963 and 2013, families near the bottom of the wealth
distribution (those at the 10th percentile) went from having no wealth on
average to being about $2,000 in debt, those in the middle roughly doubled
their wealth—mostly between 1963 and 1983, families near the top (at the 90th
percentile) saw their wealth quadruple, and the wealth of those at the 99th
percentile—in other words, those wealthier than 99 percent of all families—grew
sixfold. – Urban Institute

The current data is much worse as the above doesn’t take
into account the massive runup in asset prices over the past 3 1/2 years.
Philanthropic 1-Percenters,
But……..
I know many 1 percenters who are great and generous
people and give so much in an effort reduce poverty. Paul Tudor
Jones’ Robin Hood
Foundation, for
example, is God’s work. Though they make a difference in many
individual lives, these good works can only go so far and only make just a
small dent in the problem of our vanishing middle class and increasing American
poverty rate.
It’s the policies, Stupid!
Policy changes are
imperative if we are going to really — first, we must decide if we want to —
make a change. It’s time to move away from the ugly and tired dialectic
of “tax cuts for the rich and government help for the poor.” Everything
must change.
Creative public policy and a change of thinking are the
only hope, comrades.
Here is one example,
The
United States exports more food than any other country in the world. So why do
families with children have trouble getting enough food in such a prosperous
nation?
“The
non-politcal answer, to me, is greed and government,” Stallings said.
“There’s
too many government health restrictions that force restaurants to throw away
food” instead of donating it to the needy. “It’s also greed: We’re not helping
our neighbors.” -Bryan Stallings, CNN
How much uneaten food
is thrown out in the US yearly?
40% or about $165 billion worth
That is enough to feed 25 MILLION AMERICANS
Wow! We trash 40 percent of the food we produce.
[ IN SHORT: somos un
pais pobremente alimentado –aunque obeso- porque preferimos votar comida de
calidad a la basura , por precios inaccesibles al común de los Americanos o por
falsa INFO sobre productos organicos vs productos Monsanto –lindos por fuera y
podridos por dentro ]
Lessons From The Godfather
Special interests will surely stand in the way of the
much needed new policy thinking/making, including from reforming education to allowing restaurants to donate
their food to the needy, for example. So how do we deal with them?
Take a lesson from the Godfather and mayor of Chicago,
Rahm Emanuel, when he was Chief of Staff for President Obama and negotiating
the bailout of the auto companies. Some in the bailout
group raised concerns about pushback from the United Auto Workers.
To which the Godfather replied,
To which we say,
F..k the Special Interests or F$*K the Special Interests – Global
Macro Monitor
My God, we are talking
about hungry children, for Pete’s sake.

The US
has no reason to worry about China's growing military strength since China has
no intention of starting a war with any country, but that China will continue
to develop its military and the US and its allies should get used to it, a
retired PLA rear admiral said.
"China will continue
to develop its military to narrow the gap in military strength
between China and the US, which the US and its allies should accept
as normal," said Xu Guangyu, a retired PLA rear admiral and a senior
adviser to the China Arms Control and Disarmament Association.
