The school of economic public policy known as “supply side” is out of favor, but it is not as dead as it looks. The theory works. The production of goods and services does indeed create its own demand. Otherwise, low productivity countries would be wealthy. Jamaica would be as rich as Singapore. As Josh Lerner points out here: “In 1965 the two nations were equal in wealth. Four decades later, their standing was dramatically different. What accounts for the difference?”

Lerner answers his own question:

Soon after independence, Singapore aggressively invested in infrastructure such as its port, subsidized its system of education, maintained an open and corruption-free economy, and established sovereign wealth funds that made a wide variety of investments. It has also benefited from a strategic position on the key sea lanes heading to and from East Asia. Jamaica, meanwhile, spent many years mired in political instability, particularly the disastrous administration of Michael Manley during the 1970s. Dramatic shifts from a market economy to a socialist orientation and back again, with the attendant inflation, economic instability, crippling public debt, and violence, made the development and implementation of a consistent long-run economic policy difficult.

But in explaining Singapore’s economic growth, it is hard not to give considerable credit to its policies toward entrepreneurship. The government has experimented with a wide variety of efforts to develop an entrepreneurial sector:

–Providing public funds for venture investors seeking to locate in the city-state; –Subsidies for firms in targeted technologies; –Encouraging potential entrepreneurs and mentoring fledgling ventures; –Subsidies for leading biotechnology researchers to move their laboratories to Singapore; –Awards for failed entrepreneurs (with a hope of encouraging risk-taking).

In other words, Singapore invested in supply. It built infrastructure with government funds. It kept taxes low, regulations light, trade open and laws simple but rigorously enforced so as to encourage private investment.

President Obama is a thorough-going demand-sider. The $787 billion stimulus package, tax “cuts” for people who aren’t paying taxes, Cash for Clunkers–could it be any clearer? Demand side has a fatal flaw. It takes the production of goods and services for granted. Demand side takes you to Jamaica, not Singapore.

The critics of supply side argue that it, too, has a fatal flaw: deficits. Does it? Sure, when government spends more than it takes in.

Supply side, in fact, is the only way out of the deficit nightmare. Consider these facts: The privately held net worth of the U.S. is somewhere around $50 trillion–about $165,000 per capita. That’s stocks, bonds, cash, real estate net of mortgages, the whole shebang. Two years ago the privately held net worth of the U.S. was about $65 trillion, so we’re down, no surprise.

Now try this thought experiment. What would happen to the privately held net worth of the U.S. if just two policy levers were pulled: (1) capital gains taxes were permanently lowered to 15%; (2) the Fed and U.S. Treasury announced a strong dollar policy?

My guess is that commodity speculation would slow, stocks would rise, real estate would stabilize and begin to climb, and small businesses would start investing in their future once more. Opportunity would abound and investment capital would flow into the U.S. The privately held net worth of the U.S. would go from $50 trillion to $80 trillion in three years.

Moreover, because of low taxes, that privately held net worth would turn over more frequently. If it turned over just once on its three-year trip from $50 trillion to $80 trillion, the capital gains taxes would be $4.5 trillion (15% of $30 trillion). That would be $1.5 trillion of capital gains taxes generated per year.

In 2009 the U.S. ran a fiscal deficit of $1.4 trillion. Since the federal government is known to play accounting games that would get you, me and Bernie Madoff tossed in jail, let’s round it up to $1.5 trillion.

Question for President Obama: Would you rather close the $1.5 trillion annual deficit by unleashing the assets and creativity of the American people? Or will you try to close it by taxing the American people into a long plague of malaise and stagflation?

Do you really want to bet your presidency on the demand side, Mr. President?

It’s better to be paralyzed from the neck down, than to be
paralyzed from the neck up…

Dr. Charles Krauthammer

Dr. Krauthammer is on Fox News. He is an M.D. and a lawyer and is  paralyzed from the neck down.  A friend went to hear Charles Krauthammer.  He listened with 25 others in a closed room.  What he says here, is NOT 2nd-hand but 1st.

The ramifications are staggering for us, our children  and their children.

Last Monday was a profound  evening, Dr. Charles Krauthammer spoke to the Center for the American Experiment.  He is a brilliant  intellectual, seasoned & articulate.  He is  forthright and careful in his analysis, and never resorts to  emotions or personal insults.  He is NOT a fear monger  nor an extremist in his comments and views.  He is a  fiscal conservative, and has received a Pulitzer Prize for  writing.  He is a frequent contributor to Fox News and  writes weekly for the Washington Post.

The entire room was held spellbound during his talk.  I have summarized his comments, as we are living in uncharted waters economically and internationally.

The Democrats at my table agreed with everything he said!  If you feel like forwarding this to those who are open minded and have not drunk the Kool-Aid, feel free.

Summary of his comments:
1. Mr. Obama is a very intellectual, charming individual.  He is not to be underestimated.  He is a cool customer who doesn’t show his emotions.  It’s very hard to know what’s behind the mask.  The taking down of the Clinton dynasty
was an amazing accomplishment.  The Clintons still do not understand what hit them.  Obama was in the perfect place at the perfect time.

2.  Obama has political skills comparable to Reagan and Clinton.  He has a way of making you think he’s on your side, agreeing with your position, while doing the opposite.  Pay no attention to what he SAYS; rather, watch what he DOES!

3. Obama has a ruthless quest for power.  He did not come to Washington to make something out of himself, but rather to change everything, including dismantling capitalism. He can’t be straightforward on his ambitions, as the public would not go along.

He has a heavy hand, and wants to level the playing field with income redistribution and punishment to the achievers of society.  He would like to model the USA to Great Britain or Canada.

4. His three main goals are to control ENERGY, PUBLIC EDUCATION, and NATIONAL HEALTHCARE by the Federal government.  He doesn’t care about the auto or financial services industries, but got them as an early bonus. The cap and trade will add costs to everything and stifle growth.  Paying for FREE college education is his goal.  Most scary is his healthcare program, because if
you make it FREE and add 46,000,000 people to a Medicare-type single-payer system, the costs will go through the roof. The only way to control costs is with massive RATIONING of services, like in Canada.

5. He has surrounded himself with mostly far-left academic types.  No one around him has ever even run a candy store.  But they are going to try and run the auto, financial, banking and other
industries.  This obviously can’t work in the long run. Obama is not a socialist; rather he’s a far-left secular progressive bent on nothing short of revolution. He ran as a moderate, but will govern from the hard left.  Again, watch what he does, not what he says.

6. Obama doesn’t really see himself as President of the United States , but more as a ruler over the world.  He sees himself above it all, trying to orchestrate & coordinate various countries and their agendas.  He sees moral equivalency in all cultures.  His apology tour in Germany and England was a prime example of how he sees America , as an imperialist nation that has been arrogant, rather than a great noble nation that has at times made errors.  This is the first President ever who has chastised our allies and appeased our enemies!

7. He is now handing out goodies.  He hopes that the bill (and pain) will not come due until after
he is reelected in 2012.  He would like to blame all problems on Bush from the past, and hopefully his successor in the future.  He has a huge ego, and Dr. Krauthammer believes he is a narcissist.

8. Republicans are in the wilderness for a while, but will emerge strong. Republicans are pining for another Reagan, but there will never be another like him.  Krauthammer believes Mitt Romney, Tim Pawlenty & Bobby Jindahl (except for his terrible speech in February) are the future of the party. Newt Gingrich is brilliant, but has baggage.  Sarah Palin is sincere and intelligent, but needs to really be seriously boning up on facts and info if she is to be a serious candidate in the future.  We need to return to the party of lower taxes, smaller government, personal responsibility, strong national defense, and state’s rights.

9. The current level of spending is irresponsible and outrageous.  We are spending trillions
that we don’t have.  This could lead to hyperinflation, depression or worse.  No country has ever spent themselves into prosperity.  The media is giving Obama, Reid and Pelosi a pass because they love their agenda. But eventually the bill will come due and people will realize the huge bailouts didn’t work, nor will the stimulus package.  These were trillion-dollar payoffs to Obama’s
allies, unions and the Congress to placate the left, so he can get support for #4 above.

10. The election was over in mid-September when Lehman brothers failed, fear and panic swept in, we had an unpopular President, and the war was grinding on indefinitely without a clear outcome.  The people are in pain, and the mantra of change caused people to act emotionally.  Any Dem would have won this election; it was surprising it was as close as it was.

11. In 2012, if the unemployment rate is over 10%, Republicans will be swept back into power.  If it’s under 8%, the Dems continue to roll. If it’s between 8-10%, it will be a dogfight.  It will all be about the economy.  I hope this gets you really thinking about what’s happening in Washington and Congress.  There is a left-wing revolution going on, according to Krauthammer, and he encourages us to keep the faith and join the loyal resistance.  The work will be hard, but we’re right on most issues and can reclaim our country, before it’s far too late.

Do yourself a long term favor, send this to all who will listen to an intelligent assessment of the big picture.  All our futures and children’s futures depend on our good understanding of what is really going on in DC, and our action pursuant to that understanding!! It really IS up to each of us to take individual action!!  Start with educating your friends and neighbors!!!

Cayenne Pepper in The Modified Masters Cleanse

Unlike other diets the Masters Cleanse doesn’t require any exotic or expensive ingredients. In fact it might be the most cost effective cleanse in history.

Main Ingredients for the Master Cleanse Recipe

• Pure Filtered Water
• Grade B Organic Maple Syrup,
• Organic Cayenne Pepper
• Organic Lemons

Optional Ingredients:

• Chlorophyll is highly recommended
• 100 % Natural Prune Juice
• Laxative tea
• Natural Herbal Tea’s (decaffeinated)

The first ingredient (pure filtered water) is probably the most overlooked, and disregarded step in the Masters Cleanse. lets also the most important if you want to cleanse your body. I know people who won’t go near non-organic fruits and vegetables, but they constantly drink and cook with unfiltered tap water.

Your local water treatment facility does not do an adequate job of providing you with clean, safe drinking water. The standard water treatment practice is to dump chlorine into the water to kill off the bacteria, and viruses. Chlorine is a poison, and has been linked to cancer. It’s not good to consume this on a daily basis. I love my double reverse osmosis filter!!

There’s also the risk of chemicals from corporate waste, and farm runoff – as well as the sediment and toxic metals that are found in the pipes that bring the water into your home.

Bottled water is not a good choice either. In addition to being very expensive, the manufacturing processes for bottled water are not tightly regulated. Much of the time the bottled water you buy is not any better than city tap water – and sometimes it is just plain city water!

To make sure you get all the detoxing benefits you should make the lemonade with filtered water. You can find filtered water at most grocery stores, but a more convenient option is to own you’re own home water filter.

It’s just that water is such a crucial element to good health, and for anyone making an effort to lead a clean lifestyle a simple counter top water filtration system will give you more bang for your buck (health wise) then organic produce, free range meat, or nutritional supplements.

As for the other main ingredients they’re pretty standard fare, and can be found at most grocery stores. A few things to keep in mind

• Use organic ingredients The goal of the Masters Cleanse is to remove toxic substances from your body so stay away from ingredients that have been sprayed with pesticides
• Don’t use concentrated lemon juice If you have to you can use non-organic lemons, but you cannot use concentrated lemon juice because It’s filled with sugar and preservatives.
• Make sure the sea salt is Unrefined or Not iodized This will be used as a laxative, if salt intake is a problem for you I’ll show you another type of laxative in the Optional Ingredients below

Optional Ingredients:

The first of the optional ingredients, the laxative tea can be used in place of, or in addition to the sea salt flush. The purpose of both of these items is to increase eliminations. Of the two the sea salt is the more effective, but if you take sea salt the laxative tea will work fine. The tea can be found in most grocery stores, and is sold under different brand names. The two I use are Smooth Move and Laxative Tea

The other optional ingredients will help add some flavor to the lemonade you’re going to be drinking daily.

The beauty of the Master Cleanse lies in its simplicity. By going on this diet you allow your body to use the energy it normally spends on breaking down, digesting, and assimilating food to cleanse itself, so you add much to the Master Cleanse without taking away from its effectiveness.

But you can use herbal teas (decaffeinated) to help break the redundancy of drinking the plain lemonade all day long. These teas come in an assortment of flavors, and can really liven up the taste of the lemonade. Herbal tea can be found at just about any grocery store.

The Master Cleanse Recipe

The Master Cleanse works just how it sounds; you consume primarily lemonade for the entire time you’re on the diet. So the recipes for the diet itself are fairly simple. You should drink a minimum of 60 oz of lemonade a day, but can drink more if you like. You can also drink as much water as you want. I suggest you consume your body weight in ounces of water.

Below are two different recipes. The first is for a single serving of the master cleanse lemonade. The second will make 6 servings

#1 (single serving):

• 2 Tablespoons of organic lemon Juice (about 1/2 a Lemon)
• 2 Tablespoons of Organic grade B maple syrup (not the commercial maple flavoured syrup you use on pancakes)
• 1/10 Teaspoon Cayenne pepper powder (I grow my own pepper and grind them up)
• Ten ounces of filtered water

#2 (60 oz. daily serving):

• 60 ounces of filtered water
• 12 Tablespoons of organic grade B maple syrup
• 12 Tablespoons of organic lemon juice
• 1/2 Teaspoon cayenne pepper powder

There are a couple important things to remember when preparing the lemonade.

For one, the lemon juice used must be fresh squeezed. This cannot be emphasized enough. It is necessary to use fresh produce. Canned juice won’t work and will erase most of the benefits of using the master cleanser diet.

Also, the maple syrup must be grade B maple syrup, not the sugar filled syrup that is used at the breakfast table.

The cayenne pepper might seem unnecessary, but it is actually very important. Not only does it help to add a bit of a kick, but the pepper helps to break up mucus and increases healthy blood flow. It also is a good source of B and C vitamins, commonly referred to as Super Vitamins due to their many benefits for the body. (Everyone at my work knows me as the Cayenne Pepper guy.. Its funny I work at Internet company and I heard a kid making fun of me because the Internet went down one night and he said TR would say a little cayenne pepper will fix that. They both laughed and so did I. I know it won’t fix relationships or Internet problems however it will help your body in so many ways.)

Mixing teas with the recipe is one way to help modify things, just make sure It’s decaffeinated tea because caffeine can restrict blood vessels and we want to keep your body passages as open as possible.

Adding a Natural Laxative To Help Flush Out Your System

Taking a laxative will speed up the detoxing process, and help your body eliminate waste.

I prefer ingestible laxatives like, sea salts, and herbal tea. These are ideal methods for cleaning the colonic tract without the harmful effects of colonics and enemas. (I remember one guy at a job I had once his name was Ernie and he loved his enemas!!!)

Drinking 1 teaspoon of unrefined non-iodized sea salt mixed with 25-35 ounces of water will flush out your system.

It’s best to use either of these laxatives (or both of them) 2 times a day. I’ve found it best to take them in the morning and before I go to bed.

Also, I advise you give yourself at least an hour and a half before you go out when you do this. These laxatives will work fast, and you will discover why you should probably be at home near a bathroom when you use them.

Please for the love educate yourself about influenza strains, vaccination risks, and the public health laws in your state that may require you or your children to undergo either mandatory vaccination or quarantine.

Take care of your health to reduce or eliminate your risk of contracting the flu. The key is to keep your immune system strong by following these guidelines:

• Eliminate sugar and processed foods from your diet. Sugar consumption has an immediate, debilitating effect on your immune system.
• Take a high quality source of animal-based omega 3 fats like Krill Oil.
• Exercise. Your immune system needs good circulation in order to perform at its best for you.
• Optimize your vitamin D levels. Vitamin D deficiency is the likely cause of seasonal flu viruses. Getting an optimal level of vitamin D will help you fight infections of all kinds.
• Get plenty of good quality sleep.
• Deal with stress effectively. If you feel overwhelmed by stress, your body will not have the reserves it needs to fight infection.
• Wash your hands. But not with an antibacterial soap. Use a pure, chemical-free soap.

According to Kathleen Sebelius, Secretary of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, your children should be the first target for mass swine flu vaccinations when school starts this fall.[i]

This is a ridiculous assumption for many reasons, not to mention extremely high risk.

In Australia, where the winter season has begun, Federal Health Minister Nicola Roxon is reassuring parents the swine flu is no more dangerous than regular seasonal flu. “Most people, including children, will experience very mild symptoms and recover without any medical intervention,” she said.[ii]

Sydney-based immunization specialist Robert Booy predicts swine flu might be fatal to about twice as many children in the coming year as regular influenza. Booy estimates 10-12 children could die from the H1N1 virus, compared with the five or six regular flu deaths seen among children in an average year in Australia.[iii]

“Cure the Disease, Kill the Patient”

Less than 100 children in the U.S. die each year from seasonal flu viruses.[iv] If we use Australia’s math, a very rough estimate would be another 100 children could potentially die of swine flu in the United States in the coming year.

If children are the first target group in the U.S. per Sebelius, that means we’re about to inject around 75 million children with a fast tracked vaccine containing novel adjuvants, including dangerous squalene, to prevent perhaps 100 deaths.

I’m not overlooking the tragedy of the loss of even one child to an illness like the H1N1 flu virus. But there can be no argument that unnecessary mass injection of millions of children with a vaccine containing an adjuvant known to cause a host of debilitating autoimmune diseases is a reckless, dangerous plan.

Why are Vaccinations Dangerous?

The presumed intent of a vaccination is to help you build immunity to potentially harmful organisms that cause illness and disease. However, your body’s immune system is already designed to do this in response to organisms which invade your body naturally.

Most disease-causing organisms enter your body through the mucous membranes of your nose, mouth, pulmonary system or your digestive tract – not through an injection.

These mucous membranes have their own immune system, called the IgA immune system. It is a different system from the one activated when a vaccine is injected into your body.

Your IgA immune system is your body’s first line of defense. Its job is to fight off invading organisms at their entry points, reducing or even eliminating the need for activation of your body’s immune system.

When a virus is injected into your body in a vaccine, and especially when combined with an immune adjuvant like squalene, your IgA immune system is bypassed and your body’s immune system kicks into high gear in response to the vaccination.

Injecting organisms into your body to provoke immunity is contrary to nature, and vaccination carries enormous potential to do serious damage to your health.

And as if Vaccines Weren’t Dangerous Enough on Their Own …

… imagine them turbocharged.

The main ingredient in a vaccine is either killed viruses or live ones that have been attenuated (weakened and made less harmful).

Flu vaccines can also contain a number of chemical toxins, including ethylene glycol (antifreeze), formaldehyde, phenol (carbolic acid) and even antibiotics like Neomycin and streptomycin.

In addition to the viruses and other additives, many vaccines also contain immune adjuvants like aluminum and squalene.

The purpose of an immune adjuvant added to a vaccine is to enhance (turbo charge) your immune response to the vaccination. Adjuvants cause your immune system to overreact to the introduction of the organism you’re being vaccinated against.

Adjuvants are supposed to get the job done faster (but certainly not more safely), which reduces the amount of vaccine required per dose, and the number of doses given per individual.

Less vaccine required per person means more individual doses available for mass vaccination campaigns. Coincidentally, this is exactly the goal of government and the pharmaceutical companies who stand to make millions from their vaccines.

Will There Be Immune Adjuvants in Swine Flu Vaccines?

The U.S. government has contracts with several drug companies to develop and produce swine flu vaccines. At least two of those companies, Novartis and GlaxoSmithKline, are using an adjuvant in their H1N1 vaccines.

The adjuvant? Squalene.

According to Meryl Nass, M.D., an authority on the anthrax vaccine,

“A novel feature of the two H1N1 vaccines being developed by companies Novartis and GlaxoSmithKline is the addition of squalene-containing adjuvants to boost immunogenicity and dramatically reduce the amount of viral antigen needed. This translates to much faster production of desired vaccine quantities.”[v]

Novartis’s proprietary squalene adjuvant for their H1N1 vaccine is MF59. Glaxo’s is ASO3. MF59 has yet to be approved by the FDA for use in any U.S. vaccine, despite its history of use in other countries.

Per Dr. Nass, there are only three vaccines in existence using an approved squalene adjuvant. None of the three are approved for use in the U.S.

What Squalene Does to Rats

Oil-based vaccination adjuvants like squalene have been proved to generate concentrated, unremitting immune responses over long periods of time.[vi]

A 2000 study published in the American Journal of Pathology demonstrated a single injection of the adjuvant squalene into rats triggered “chronic, immune-mediated joint-specific inflammation,” also known as rheumatoid arthritis.[vii]

The researchers concluded the study raised questions about the role of adjuvants in chronic inflammatory diseases.

What Squalene Does to Humans

Your immune system recognizes squalene as an oil molecule native to your body. It is found throughout your nervous system and brain. In fact, you can consume squalene in olive oil and not only will your immune system recognize it, you will also reap the benefits of its antioxidant properties.

The difference between “good” and “bad” squalene is the route by which it enters your body. Injection is an abnormal route of entry which incites your immune system to attack all the squalene in your body, not just the vaccine adjuvant.

Your immune system will attempt to destroy the molecule wherever it finds it, including in places where it occurs naturally, and where it is vital to the health of your nervous system.[viii]

Gulf War veterans with Gulf War Syndrome (GWS) received anthrax vaccines which contained squalene.[ix] MF59 (the Novartis squalene adjuvant) was an unapproved ingredient in experimental anthrax vaccines and has since been linked to the devastating autoimmune diseases suffered by countless Gulf War vets.[x]

The Department of Defense made every attempt to deny that squalene was indeed an added contaminant in the anthrax vaccine administered to Persian Gulf war military personnel – deployed and non-deployed – as well as participants in the more recent Anthrax Vaccine Immunization Program (AVIP).

However, the FDA discovered the presence of squalene in certain lots of AVIP product. A test was developed to detect anti-squalene antibodies in GWS patients, and a clear link was established between the contaminated product and all the GWS sufferers who had been injected with the vaccine containing squalene.

A study conducted at Tulane Medical School and published in the February 2000 issue of Experimental Molecular Pathology included these stunning statistics:

“ … the substantial majority (95%) of overtly ill deployed GWS patients had antibodies to squalene. All (100%) GWS patients immunized for service in Desert Shield/Desert Storm who did not deploy, but had the same signs and symptoms as those who did deploy, had antibodies to squalene.

In contrast, none (0%) of the deployed Persian Gulf veterans not showing signs and symptoms of GWS have antibodies to squalene. Neither patients with idiopathic autoimmune disease nor healthy controls had detectable serum antibodies to squalene. The majority of symptomatic GWS patients had serum antibodies to squalene.”[xi]

According to Dr. Viera Scheibner, Ph.D., a former principle research scientist for the government of Australia:

“… this adjuvant [squalene] contributed to the cascade of reactions called “Gulf War Syndrome,” documented in the soldiers involved in the Gulf War.

The symptoms they developed included arthritis, fibromyalgia, lymphadenopathy, rashes, photosensitive rashes, malar rashes, chronic fatigue, chronic headaches, abnormal body hair loss, non-healing skin lesions, aphthous ulcers, dizziness, weakness, memory loss, seizures, mood changes, neuropsychiatric problems, anti-thyroid effects, anaemia, elevated ESR (erythrocyte sedimentation rate), systemic lupus erythematosus, multiple sclerosis, ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis), Raynaud’s phenomenon, Sjorgren’s syndrome, chronic diarrhoea, night sweats and low-grade fevers.”[xii]

Post Vaccination Follow-Up Might as Well Be Non-Existent

There is virtually no science to support the safety of vaccine injections on your long-term health or the health of your children. Follow-up studies last on average about two weeks, and look only for glaring injuries and illnesses.

Autoimmune disorders like those seen in Gulf War Syndrome frequently take years to diagnose due to the vagueness of early symptoms. Complaints like headaches, fatigue and chronic aches and pains are symptoms of many different illnesses and diseases.

Don’t hold your breath waiting for vaccine purveyors and proponents to look seriously at the long-term health consequences of their vaccination campaigns.
