Gross Domestic Product and Horsepower

 Janet Yellen, the Federal Reserve and politicians attempt to stimulate the economy by increasing the money supply by clever means. This is like pulling away from the stop sign with the gearshift left in high gear.  Nothing much happens.

RPM X Manifold pressure = Horsepower. 

Turnover X M1 money supply = GDP

Without sufficient RPM, stepping on thee gas not only strains the engine but the hoped for acceleration comes very slowly. The same thing happens with the economy. The perceived energy in the economy comes from the turnover, productivity and innovation. The money supply turns over many times in the economy in any given time, say a year, presently a little over five times. With a more energetic economy that turnover may exceed ten times. The Fed. Struggles to find a means of stimulating the turnover. Spending alone does not do it. You need productivity, jobs and discretionary income, both liquidity and RPM.

Now, Chinese espionage, bribery, and infiltration further contribute to the erosion of America’s traditions of citizenship, enterprise, and prosperity. Second, NGOs in Washington, an entrenched bureaucracy, and organizations like the Trilateral Commission prioritize internation...

Utopia

The Devil promises a utopia of worry-free egalitarianism beckoning you to an Orwellian hell of despondency. Its a matter of giving or taking. Work for your family and community supporting the common good, or take from the wealth of those who produce and promise benefits to those who do not and those destroyed by the theft of their own creation.

Inflation

Many retail investors buy individual stocks with growing confidence in a narket that has a long run. Many fail to appreciate the way the market reflects inflation. Company revenue consists of inflated number,s as does cost and profit, thus the market reflects true inflation which must now be near 100%.
