| Georgia Legislature dips into your wallet again! Here
we go again. The Legislature increases government revenue - a.k.a
MORE TAXES - and tried to tell you that you are getting a bargain!
So the folks pay more, so the out of touch elected officials can
spend more.

| | Revenue Neutral??? - For those who will believe anything! The 2009 Georgia Legislature is going to great lengths to find
ways to increase their revenue (a.k.a. taxes), while remaining "Revenue
Neutral." Does this qualify for a Duh! award?

| | Trade Deficit: August - 2008 - Current financial crisis is tip of iceberg "Foreign interests have more control over the US
economy than Americans, leaving the country in a state that
is financially imprudent. More and more of our debt is held by
foreign countries – some of which are our allies and some are not.
The huge holdings of American government debt by countries such as
China and Saudi Arabia could leave a powerful financial weapon in
the hands of countries that may be hostile to US corporate and
diplomatic interests.”
The
September, 2008 Trade statistics were released in November and remained at a very high and unacceptable level.
This article is of course a couple months later than usual. But with
the 'financial market crisis"
and "massive bailouts" getting 24 hour news coverage, it was obvious few cared about the trade
deficit. The media, the talking heads and elected officials are just
absorbed with other things. But now that the roughly trillion dollar
"stupid plan aka bailout plan" has shown to be inadequate, these
articles will resume.
In January this year - we started tracking our trade with our NAFTA partners
[sic]. In just January through September we have a trade deficit
over $114,278,000,000.00 or 114.2 Billion USD.
Note that NAFTA was passed
by a very narrow margin in 1992 and supported by both Democratic
President Bill Clinton, and the 1996 Republican
Presidential nominee - then Senator Bob Dole. So NAFTA was brought
to us by both the Republicans and Democrats.

August, 2008 Trade statistics were released on October 10 and remained at a very high and unacceptable level.
This article is of course almost a month later than usual. But with
the 'financial market crisis"
and election approaching, it was obvious few cared about the trade
deficit. The media, the candidates and all of the multitude of
talking heads were just absorbed with other things. So I put this
one off until after the election.
In January this year - we started tracking our trade with our NAFTA partners
[sic]. In just January through August we have a trade deficit
over $101,432,000,000.00 or 101.4 Billion USD.

| | Trade Deficit: July - 2008 - American economy going wrong way "Foreign interests have more control over the US
economy than Americans, leaving the country in a state that
is financially imprudent. More and more of our debt is held by
foreign countries – some of which are our allies and some are not.
The huge holdings of American government debt by countries such as
China and Saudi Arabia could leave a powerful financial weapon in
the hands of countries that may be hostile to US corporate and
diplomatic interests.”
The July, 2008 Trade statistics have
been released and remain at a very high and unacceptable level.
The trade deficit is just one symptom of the problems being created
by our failed economic and political systems. While somewhat complex
it does provide a monthly gauge on the flow of wealth into or out of
our country. Obviously a massive outgoing flow can not be sustained
forever.
In January this year - we started tracking our trade with our NAFTA partners
[sic]. In just January through July we have a trade deficit
over $88,235,000,000.00 or 88.2 Billion USD.
Note that NAFTA was passed
by a very narrow margin in 1992 and supported by both Democratic
President Bill Clinton, and the 1996 Republican
Presidential nominee - then Senator Bob Dole. So NAFTA was brought

| | Failed Economic policies getting closer to home ... For several years the Southern Party has been pointing out the
long term effects of our country's failed economic polices. These
are of course complex issues and require some digging to understand
how the Republican and Democratic leadership and parties are both
failing to solve the problems.

| | Trade Deficit: June - 2008 - the song remains the same "Foreign interests have more control over the US
economy than Americans, leaving the country in a state that
is financially imprudent. More and more of our debt is held by
foreign countries – some of which are our allies and some are not.
The huge holdings of American government debt by countries such as
China and Saudi Arabia could leave a powerful financial weapon in
the hands of countries that may be hostile to US corporate and
diplomatic interests.”
The June, 2008 Trade statistics have been released and
remain at a very high and unacceptable level. Due to schedule
conflicts this monthly commentary was not published the last two
months, but aside from higher numbers nothing much as changed. For
those benefiting from our failed economic policies that is good new,
for the rest of us, our children and future grandchildren it is not
good news.
In January this year - we started tracking our trade with our NAFTA partners
[sic]. In just January through June we have a trade deficit
over $74,370,000,000.00 or 74.3 Billion USD.
Note that NAFTA was passed
by a very narrow margin in 1992 and supported by both Democratic
President Bill Clinton, and the 1996 Republican
Presidential nominee - then Senator Bob Dole. So NAFTA was brought
to us by both the Republicans and Democrats.

economy than Americans, leaving the country in a state that

The huge holdings of American government debt by countries such as
China and Saudi Arabia could leave a powerful financial weapon in
