http://www.omaha.com/opinion/carl-p-leubsdorf-d-c-s-failure-to-cut-debt/article_...






" Carl P. Leubsdorf: D.C.'s failure to cut debt goes back to Bill Clinton sex scandal  "








" Two months after passing a tax cut bill that punched a $1.5 trillion hole in the federal budget, Congress passed a spending bill expanding that gap by another $320 billion, setting the stage for future rises in interest rates as government borrowing explodes.


Given the continuing lack of fiscal discipline, volatility in a stock market is hardly surprising. This likely reflects concerns about the future economy rather than current conditions.


This back-to-back display of budgetary myopia is hardly unique. It’s just the latest in a series of decisions over nearly two decades by both major political parties building toward a day of fiscal reckoning for some future president, if not the current one. The failures all go back to — of all people — Monica Lewinsky.



The scandal of President Bill Clinton’s sexual relationship with the White House intern erupted in January 1998, just when Clinton and House Speaker Newt Gingrich were planning a bipartisan effort to tackle the biggest driver of future federal debt: burgeoning Social Security and Medicare costs. The partisan battle about impeaching Clinton destroyed chances for a historic alliance between the Democratic president and the Republican speaker that could have provided long-term budgetary stability.


Since then, every significant budgetary action or inaction by Presidents George W. Bush, Barack Obama and Donald Trump has made things worse. Last week, longtime deficit hawks barely blinked in ratifying the latest spending boost, largely because each side got a slice of the sausage: Republicans, for defense; Democrats, for domestic programs. Though Trump’s new budget, issued last week, promises better fiscal balance, it’s built on spending reductions Congress won’t pass and a level of economic growth that its decisions won’t create.


Here’s the discouraging rundown:


Squandering the surplus. The 1997 bipartisan budget pact and the late 1990s economic boom enabled Bush to inherit the first balanced budget in three decades. Three subsequent decisions, followed by the 2008-09 economic recession, turned that projected surplus into a deepening deficit.


First, the tax cuts of 2001 and 2003 failed to meet forecasts they would more than pay for themselves. The 10-year expiration date was a false limit on future costs destined to be scrapped.


Second, Congress added prescription drug benefits to Medicare without taxes to pay for them. And third, Bush’s decision to invade Iraq and exempt the costs from the regular budget process meant that each spring Congress had little choice but to pass legislation to pay the billions in war costs the country had already spent.


When the economy descended into recession, the deficit was already expanding, reaching $459 billion in Bush’s last full year and nearly tripling to $1.4 trillion in the Bush-Obama transition year.


Failed deficit reduction efforts. Inheriting that recession, Obama won approval from Congress for an $800 billion stimulus that, while derided by Republicans, helped turn the economy around. He named a bipartisan commission, headed by former Wyoming Republican Sen. Alan Simpson and former Democratic White House Chief of Staff Erskine Bowles, that proposed reducing the deficit by $4 trillion through $1 trillion in tax increases, $1.6 trillion in discretionary spending cuts, $800 billion by trimming future costs for Social Security, Medicare and other entitlements and $600 billion in reduced interest costs.


Most panel senators supported the plan, while most House members opposed it — Republicans cited proposed tax hikes. Obama never supported the findings. Approval would have required both presidential leadership and congressional acquiescence, but neither occurred.


In 2011, secret negotiations between Obama and House Speaker John Boehner collapsed, amid recriminations over who was responsible. The resulting impasse led to the 2011 deal limiting defense and domestic spending. That pact, a subsequent 2015 deal between Republican Speaker Paul Ryan and Washington Democratic Sen. Patty Murray and an improving economy lowered the projected deficit to $440 billion this year.


All spigots open. The economy had reached the sixth year of expansion (albeit with a modest growth rate) when Trump was elected, vowing to scrap defense spending limits and pass massive tax cuts to increase growth. Congress ignored proposals for sharp domestic cuts in his last budget. After the tax cut and spending deal, economists project a 2019 deficit of more than $1 trillion, though federal revenue is peaking.


But an economy nearing full employment will likely trigger Federal Reserve interest hikes, as could pressures from increased borrowing to fund the deficit. Sooner or later, the expansion will end and deficits will soar even higher, possibly reaching $2 trillion annually, according to the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget. Though Trump is proposing some cuts for Social Security disability and Medicare after-care programs, it's unlikely the basic problem of future entitlement costs will be addressed, let alone solved, until severe future economic disruptions force action.


No wonder Wall Street is wary.  "






For gimmekeef  :



http://www.usdebtclock.org/



It seems so long ago that Bush and Gore were debating the "lock box" where all our wonderful surplus money would generate prosperity for all. Now a huge tax cut with no offset revenue (don't even bring up the BS that is trickle down) will send us to another catastrophic financial crisis. Meanwhile the same assclowns on both sides of the aisle will be there to "help us through it"




That is what scares me about North Korea     ----  China owns our friggin arse . We piss off Big China and they will no longer support our deficits . Good Bye Stock Market .

http://www.omaha.com/opinion/james-stavridis-china-isn-t-america-s-enemy-at-leas...




James Stavridis: China isn't America's enemy, at least not yet





The writer is a retired U.S. Navy admiral and former military commander of NATO, and dean of the Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy at Tufts University. His most recent book is “Sea Power: The History and Geopolitics of the World's Oceans.” He wrote this for Bloomberg View.





"  In HBO's “Game of Thrones,“ the most impressive single force on a very complex battlefield is the trio of dragons mastered by Queen Daenerys Targaryen. As she says, “We will lay waste to armies and burn cities to the ground!” The symbol of China, of course, is the dragon. The U.S., whose symbol is the eagle, will need to learn to fly in uneasy company of the dragon in the decades ahead. These metaphors can fly independently, but they are going to have to deconflict the airspace.


Let's begin with a hopeful disclaimer: I do not believe we are headed toward a war with China. Our interests are far more likely to converge than to diverge overall, and our economies are deeply intertwined. Yet the competition, assuming we can avoid outright conflict, will be fierce. A recent cover of the Economist talked about Chinese “sharp power,” meaning the combination of traditional “soft power” (hospitals, medical diplomacy, humanitarian operations) with more coercive tools (trade, economic domination, cyber piracy). The U.S. needs a strategy to deal with a China that is increasingly comfortable engaging aggressively in the world.



A good primer on this is Graham Allison's recent book, “Destined for War: Can America and China Avoid the Thucydides Trap?” Allison, a professor at Harvard's Kennedy School of Government, tells the story of China's truly meteoric rise over the past three decades and makes the point that while we are playing checkers, the Chinese are not simply playing chess — they are playing a different game altogether: Go. It is a complex, multi-move, long-dwell game of strategy. While we craft a strategy for the next decade or so (see the Donald Trump administration's new National Security Strategy), China is planning the 200-year future. They are playing a long, long game.


So what should America do? Where are there zones of cooperation, and where must we confront? Is there a sensible strategy we can pursue to ensure we are not incinerated in the dragon's fire?


Let's start with confrontation. At the top of the tactical watch list is the controversial set of Chinese claims over the South China Sea. A body of water roughly the size of the Gulf of Mexico, it has billions of barrels of oil and trillions of cubic feet of natural gas under its normally placid waves. Acquisition of this rich trove of hydrocarbons would complete China's strategic suite of cards in the 21st century. The U.S. rightfully opposes such an appropriation and will continue to fly planes overhead and drive ships through what Beijing insists are its “territorial seas.“


Similarly, we are in conflict in another dimension of time and space altogether: the cyber world. The Chinese habit of stealing intellectual property and pressuring U.S. companies in the cyber sphere is accelerating, despite assurances from President Xi Jinping to former President Barack Obama and President Trump that he would rein in Chinese activities.


Finally, the U.S. will continue to fight with China over what constitutes “free and fair trade,” and find ways to bring its trade deficit more into balance. There will be confrontation and hard negotiations (and hopefully not a full-blown trade war) ahead.


Here's the good news: We do have a set of shared interests, starting with perhaps the most important one, Kim Jong Un. China wants to continue to see a divided Korean peninsula (fearing the creation of a powerful juggernaut in the form of a unified, Western-aligned democracy post-Kim). Beijing also wants to avoid a full-blown refugee crisis on the border. There is room to work together in crafting a compromise to solve the potentially catastrophic possibility of a war between the U.S. and North Korea.


The two nations can also work together on a wide range of global problems from climate change (the Trump administration is even talking about re-entering the Paris Accords) to peacekeeping (perhaps on the turbulent Horn of Africa, where China is building a military base and has real interests). China and the U.S. could conduct medical diplomacy together (both nations operate hospital ships) and humanitarian operations in Africa and Latin America. There is the possibility of working together to reduce tensions in South Asia, where the U.S. is still at war in Afghanistan and China holds great influence over Pakistan. None of these will be easy, but all are at least possible.


The goal, then, is to craft a sensible strategic approach that confronts China where we must, but cooperates where we can. It should be developed together by the Departments of Defense, State, Treasury and Homeland Security (for the cyber piece), and led by National Security Adviser H.R. McMaster. The working group should take input from outside experts and strategists including Allison; former ambassador to China and retired Navy 4-star Admiral Joe Prueher; current head of the U.S. Pacific Command Admiral Harry Harris (nominated to be the next U.S. ambassador to Australia); and Henry Kissinger. It should feature six key elements:


1. Use true long-term thinking. Like China, the U.S. must stop thinking year-to-year or even over the current decade — where do we see the U.S.-China relationship in a century? Two centuries? We are a Pacific nation, but sensible accommodations that can be made that reflect the power and reach of China. We need to think about long-term strategies and the resources necessary to execute them.



2. Conduct international coalition-building. The strategy needs to leave behind the mode of “China versus the U.S.” and into a truly integrated Asian coalition. We must not appear to encircle, contain, or intimidate China; we must avoid creating a stark choice between Washington and Beijing for our partners in the region. Rather, we want to build stronger coordinated approaches with Japan, South Korea, Australia, New Zealand, Singapore and other allies, friends and partners. Above all, we must work with India, the other emerging superpower of the 21st century and a fellow democracy.


3. Retain a value-based approach. We must not surrender the importance of democracy, liberty, freedom of speech, gender equality, racial equality and other human rights. The U.S. executes these values imperfectly, but they are the right ones and must be part of our strategic approach. Sometimes we think of this as a “war of ideas,“ but that is not quite right. We are in a marketplace of ideas, and must compete with the alternate vision for structuring a society offered by China.


4. Enhance our geo-economic posture. As the U.S. becomes an energy superpower, revitalizes its infrastructure (both physical and cyber), improves its global balance of trade, renegotiates important trade agreements, and uses Bretton Woods institutions — World Bank, International Monetary Fund — aggressively, it will have a more robust set of economic tools. We should use them with confidence in dealing with China, starting with returning to the idea of a multistate Pacific trade agreement (a follow-on to the torpedoed Trans-Pacific Partnership) about which even Trump has mused. Energizing the private sector by defending its interests in China and our markets here can provide leverage.


5. Integrate the interagency. Today, various parts of the government are not well-coordinated in terms of an approach to China. The Defense Department is pursuing an aggressive strategy that names China (correctly) as a potentially dangerous peer-competitor; the State Department has a much softer approach. Treasury is hard-edged on currency manipulation, but the Department of Homeland Security is not aggressive enough in working on cyber defenses. We don't have a two-speed approach — we are more like a ten-speed bicycle.


6. Maintain a qualitative military edge. While the U.S. still enjoys an overall military advantage over China, the margin is shrinking. It will require smart investments — especially in cyber, unmanned vehicles, advanced maritime platforms and fifth-generation fighters — to ensure we can succeed if forced into combat.


Above all, we need to move from a reactive China “policy” to a real strategy that connects ends, ways and means. We could easily take a page from Sun Tzu, the legendary Chinese strategist, who was known for his sophisticated blend of hard and soft power to win complex battles. Yet even he ultimately said, “In death ground, fight.”


We are not yet on a death ground with China, but we will need a new approach to ensure we don't stumble onto one. "

Humans have a genetic bottleneck, meaning we don't have a lot of genetic diversity. We're a rather inbred species. Believe it or not, this is relevant.

There are people following Trump's lead in saying that the solution to mass shootings in schools is for the teachers to have guns --truly one of the stupidest ideas I've ever heard. They really believe (or claim to) that the solution to mass shootings caused by military grade firearms being easy accessible to tbe public is more guns present in the area with unarmed victims. You know how young people today say "I cant even"? Neither can I. And to even thinking about the people who voted for Trump after seeing him making fun of a disabled person like an elementary schoolyard bully is just sickening. They knew exactly what he was, they were just too dumb to realize that he'd happily burn them too. I was just thinking it would be nice to gather all these assholes up and send them to another universe but we can't, not the least of which reasons being that humans aren't genetically diverse enough as it is.... and then it hit me. That's already happened.

This is the universe where humanity in some other universe dumped those kind of people. That's why there's so damn many of these MAGA morons (and others just like them in other countries). That's why humans have that mysterious genetic bottleneck. This universe was the dumping ground of racist, misogynistic idiots.

God help us, indeed.

If there really was a God....mass shootings would never take place and idiots like Trump would not be offering up stupid solutions pandering to their political donors.

" "I’m not doing a section that’s chronological. I’m writing about the relationship between Lyndon Johnson and Bobby Kennedy. Kennedy plays such a large role in this volume that it’s almost as if he’s the protagonist. They hated each other. That becomes a very interesting thing in this book because a surprising amount of what Johnson did was in reaction to what he thought Bobby Kennedy would do. So, you asked where I am now: I’m writing about 1965 and 1966."
— Robert A. Caro in The New York Review of Books  "
