Noam chomsky on us economic crisis: joblessness, excessive military spending and healthcare

Noam Chomsky on US Economic Crisis: Joblessness, Excessive Military Spending and Healthcare
DemocracyNow.org - President Obama sent his new jobs proposal to Congress on Monday with a plan to pay for the $447 billion package by raising taxes on the wealthy. Democracy Now! interviews MIT Professor Emeritus Noam Chomsky, who says "huge military spending, a very low taxes by the rich [and corporations] ... those are problems, fundamental problems that have to be dealt with if there is going to be anything like successful economic and social development in the United States." As Republican presidential candidate, Texas Gov. Rick Perry, calls Social Security a "ponzi scheme," and Democrats buy into the narrative that the program is in crisis, Chomsky notes that, "To worry about a possible problem 30 years from now, which can incidentally be fixed with a little bit of tampering here and there, as was done in 1983, to worry about that makes absolutely no sense unless you're trying to destroy the program."

Making Financial Sense of the Coming Energy Crisis
Peak Moment 131: "We are living in historic times", says financial consultant Jim Puplava. As reflected in his weekly Financial Sense Newshour, actually several hour-long podcasts, Jim has been factoring peak oil into his financial picture for several years. In this interview plus excerpts from his presentation at the Association for the Study of Peak Oil (ASPO-USA) conference in September 2008, Jim talks about the "crisis window" opened by the current 2008 global credit crunch, and deepening over the next several years as oil supply begins its permanent decline. He provides some basic investment guidance for navigating the coming "perfect financial storm," noting that our society will move of necessity from consumption to conservation. www.financialsense.com http DVDs of the entire conference can be ordered through ASPO-USA at www.regonline.com This is the second of a series of Peak Moment Conversations videotaped at ASPO-USA 2008. Coming up: James Howard Kunstler, author of The Long Emergency, and Randy Udall, energy analyst and co-founder of ASPO-USA.

The red is the status quo, that's the baseline we're on. Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner: You could have taken it to 3000 or 4000... Congressman Paul Ryan: Yeah, right. We cut it off at the end of the century because the economy, according to the CBO, shuts down in 2027 on this path. Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner: I like this chart; I looked at this chart yesterday. You're talking about I think more than half a century. But if you look at the gap between us— Congressman Paul Ryan: I understand the gap. Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner: —between 10 and 20, it's a pretty small gap. In that gap though—that 10 to 20 gap, which is all we're debating today—is a gap where you're achieving that slightly diminished path. Congressman Paul Ryan: Here's the point, if you'll allow me. This is your time, so we'll just take a long time. Here's the point. Leaders are supposed to fix problems. We have a $99.4 trillion unfunded liability. Our government is making promises to Americans that it has no way of accounting for. And so you're saying yeah, we're stabilizing it but we're not fixing it in the long run. That means we're just going to keep lying to people. We're going to keep all these empty promises going. So what we're saying is, in order to avert a debt crisis—you're the Treasury Secretary, of ...

In short, we will compete, although it will be an increasingly difficult slog unless our technological means elevate dramatically.

Peter Schiff + others on terrible state of G20 economies (04Aug11)
Peter Schiff from Euro Pacific Capital, Gillian Tett from the US Financial Times, and Paul Griffiths from Aberdeen Asset Management, all talk about some unpleasant truths on the world (actually G20) economies, debt, and the crooked banks and politicians who created this mess. Worth noting, this is the first PROPER debate on money that Newsnight has had in years, with people who actually know what they are talking about. In particular, you can occasionally see Peter Schiff on Russia Today's "Keiser Report" telling people about the state of economics and money markets. I'm surprised that these people were allowed to talk sense on what is going on in the markets, and the politicians aiding and abetting the bankers, at YOU expense. The bankers in the G20 countries who are driving this should NEVER have been bailed out, they continue to defraud taxpayers around the world, the politicians making lots of money aiding and abetting the crimes. What is going on is the biggest theft in the history of the planet Earth, but the politicians are so corrupt , they have no interest in helping you. So look after yourself, and f*ck the politicians and banks. Recorded from BBC Newsnight, 04 August 2011.

If EU Fails, Hard Landing for China: In-Depth on RESET w/ Vince Lanci (FMX Connect)
The EU debt crisis: austerity rebellions, stability bond (Eurobond?) clashes, the ECB, monetary vs. fiscal policy-- how should an investor approach and make sense of this? We explore the European financial woes at some length in this edition of RESET, as Vince Lanci provides viewers with a possible framework for making sense of the European confusion. We go through it all piece by piece, and even explore the reasons why China stands to lose the most and would be severely effected by the failure of the EU, a connection perhaps still latent to most. And of course, we conclude by discussing our favorite topic, gold. Kitco News, May 25, 2012.

12. overlapping generations models of the economy

12. Overlapping Generations Models of the Economy
Financial Theory (ECON 251) In order for Social Security to work, people have to believe there's some possibility that the world will last forever, so that each old generation will have a young generation to support it. The overlapping generations model, invented by Allais and Samuelson but here augmented with land, represents such a situation. Financial equilibrium can again be reduced to general equilibrium. At first glance it would seem that the model requires a solution of an infinite number of supply equals demand equations, one for each time period. But by assuming stationarity, the whole analysis can be reduced to one equation. In this mathematical framework we reach an even more precise and subtle understanding of Social Security and the real rate of interest. We find that Social Security likely increases the real rate of interest. The presence of land, an infinitely lived asset that pays a perpetual dividend, forces the real rate of interest to be positive, exposing the flaw in Samuelson's contention that Social Security is a giant, yet beneficial, Ponzi scheme where each generation can win by perpetually deferring a growing cost. 00:00 - Chapter 1.

Professor Ghosh uses indicators (such as the infant mortality rate, the maternal mortality rate and the child sex ratio) to explore the specific experience of India over the past two decades.
