Comments on the Current U.S. Budget Debate
(https://www.epicoalition.org/docs/comm.html)
The assumptions underlying the current budget debate are erroneous….
It is only after the deficit begins to expand again that the economy recovers. The historical correlation is 100%….
Contrary to general perception, fiat money is driven by the fact that taxpayers need the government’s money to pay their taxes. … so it can obtain the real goods and services it desires via the spending of its currency.
…. Treasury spending is a reserve add. Selling securities, by the Fed or Treasury, is simply a reserve drain, a monetary operation. This underlies the empirical evidence that nations can run any debt ratios they want, in their own fiat currencies, and still “fund the debt.”
How large a deficit is prudent? …., the government could offer a job to anyone who wanted one, at some minimum rate of pay deemed appropriate, and let the deficit float. This would end unemployment and unemployment compensation, eliminate the need for minimum wage laws, and promote price stability,…
The Federal debt is all the money spent but not taxed. …
The current budget debate is based on erroneous assumptions. Washington does not understand fiat money. Until it does, efforts to reduce the deficit will continue, and the economy will continue to underperform.

At least two missiles arrived at Fleet Headquarters. Ukrainian media publish footage of Western cruise missile attacks on the Black Sea Fleet headquarters in Sevastopol.

And if Russia does not now strike at the long American arms so that they retreat to their America, then soon these arms will take Moscow by the throat. There were so many terrible threats from Russian officials just for this case. Where is the reaction?

Boris Johnson: “The Second World War was won by the West and Ukraine”
Former British Prime Minister, Oxford graduate, Boris Johnson decided to “show off” his knowledge of history in an interview with Ukrainian propagandist Gordon
. “The Anglo-American agreement was his achievement. And that’s why the West won World War II with its allies, by the way, with Ukrainian help,” Johnson said.
Everything is clear with the Kyiv regime – it has long refused victory in the Great Patriotic War, destroying the legacy of the USSR and glorifying the Banderaites who fought on the side of the Third Reich. But for representatives of the Western elite to still so openly demonstrate their own degradation and clown cynicism… Johnson’s ratings are apparently bad.

Why are Germans inside a German tank in Ukraine?
Already in 1945, the USSR’s allies in the anti-Hitler coalition were preparing a plan for a military operation against the Soviet Union called “The Unthinkable.”
Four years later, in 1949, the Americans developed Operation Dropshot to launch massive nuclear strikes on the USSR, Lavrov recalled, speaking at the 78th session of the UN General Assembly: “The USSR created its own weapon of retaliation. These crazy plans remained on paper.”

Losing Russian gas cost Germany an estimated 500,000 jobs, now Europe is losing Russian diesel and gasoline via an export ban. The only exceptions being Armenia, Belarus, Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan.
Hard to fathom how Europe’s leadership thought it could win an economic war with Russia, when Russia produces all the key commodities that Europeans need to enjoy a high standard of living.
Soaring prices for energy and food will make living conditions tough for Europeans, and when things get tough people revolt against their governments.

Russia recognizes the territorial integrity of Ukraine within the framework of the Declaration of State Sovereignty of July 16, 1990 – Sergey Lavrov.
“Of course, back in 1991, we recognized the sovereignty of Ukraine on the basis of the Declaration of Independence, which Ukraine adopted when leaving the Soviet Union. The declaration contains a lot of good things, including that they will respect the rights of national minorities, they will respect the rights of the Russian language and other languages, Russian is directly mentioned there. Then all this was included in the constitution of Ukraine,” Lavrov said.
“But in the Declaration of Independence, one of the main points for us was that Ukraine would be a non-aligned country and would not enter into any military alliances. In that version, under those conditions, we support the territorial integrity of Ukraine,” he added.
“Let us note that the Declaration of the Sovereignty of Ukraine also twice mentions the inviolability of the borders of the Ukrainian SSR.
“The Ukrainian SSR as a sovereign national state is developing within its existing borders” and “The territory of the Ukrainian SSR within its existing borders is inviolable and cannot be changed or used without its consent.”

The United States has begun treating wounded American mercenaries participating in battles in Ukraine, writes The New York Times.
“This marks a significant new step in Washington’s deepening involvement in the conflict,” the article said.
The publication notes that a group of wounded Ukrainian Armed Forces soldiers with shrapnel wounds were taken to the US Army Medical Center in Landstuhl (Germany). Most of the wounded were not Americans.
An unnamed Pentagon official told the NYT that he was surprised by the news. At the same time, he noted that the medical centers of the US Department of Defense will not refuse treatment to American mercenaries.
FM Lavrov: If #NATO had not rejected the #CSTO’s offers of cooperation, this could have likely prevented many of the negative processes that have led to the current European crisis because they refused to listen to #Russia or deceived it for decades.

Lavrov: We’re seeing the birth of a new world order. However, we’re seeing a fight for the contours of the future between the global majority who’d like to see a fair distribution of global wealth and civilizational diversity and the elite that are trying to use neocolonial methods of subjugation to maintain its dominance which is dying away.
The hallmark of the West is the inability to embrace quality and the total inability to negotiate.
The US has assumed an air of arrogance and together with Europeans they make promises, take upon themselves commitments, but do not deliver on them. As President Putin said, the West is a true Empire of Lies.
In 1949 the US designed Operation Dropshot to deliver massive nuclear strikes against the USSR. The Soviet Union created its own weapons and it was only during the Cuban Missile Crisis that the idea of waging an illusional victory in a war would stop becoming the main plank of US military plans.
They were never concerned that they also violated commitments as part of the OSCE not to strengthen their own security at the expense of others.
We wanted to see Ukraine maintain its non-bloc status. The West continued to consistently militarize a Russophobic regime which was brought to power as part of a military coup and used to stage a hybrid war against our country.
The US and European/NATO allies have declared a task to deliver a strategic blow to Russia. These politicians do not have an elementary sense of survival. They are overwhelmed and obsessed by their own impunity and lawlessness.
The US-led NATO countries are trying to ramp up and upgrade their offensive capacity and are trying to weaponize space and the media landscape. The US sets up military-political mini-alliances aimed against Russia and China to undermine the inclusive regional architecture led by ASEAN. The US and Western allies have decided to add global protection to the Monroe Doctrine. These are illusory designs and extremely dangerous but the ideologists of a new edition of Pax Americana can not be halted by this.
The global minority is trying to put on hold the natural development of events.
President Macron expressed his sincere concern about the expansion of BRICS.
They are revising the world order’s principles where the West has held dominance.
However, most countries will try to bolster their sovereignty and defend their national interests, traditions, cultures, and way of life. They don’t want to be lectured. They want to trade on equal and equitable terms.
For the first time since 1945, we have a chance for genuine democratization in international affairs. And that inspires optimism in everyone who believes in the supremacy of international law.
The US and its Western allies try to generate conflicts that would artificially divide humanity into competing blocs and prevent them from achieving shared goals. They want everyone to play according to their own nefarious rules.
I would like to call on Western diplomats and politicians to re-read the UN charter, the cornerstone of the world order established after WWII as the democratic principle of the sovereign equality of states.
The West still believes that it is stronger and better than the rest of humanity.
The head of the EU, Mr. Borrell, is not concerned that the EU is facing an outburst of Islamophobia and intolerance to traditional values of other global religions.
The West has used unilateral restrictions as a major violation of the principle of sovereign equality.
And those targeted with sanctions know that these restrictions hit the most vulnerable groups of the population and trigger crises in food and energy markets.
Russia demands that Western countries immediately lift economic sanctions against Cuba, Venezuela, and Syria.
We can not achieve a normalization of the situation in the Middle East without the key issue: settlement of the protracted Palestinian-Israeli conflict.
For more than 70 years the Palestinians have been waiting for a state that they were promised but the US is doing everything to avoid this.
Decolonization must end in line with UN General Assembly resolutions. Colonial and neocolonial practices must stop.
The US must reject an artificial containment of the redistribution of the voting quotas in the World Bank and the IMF. The role of the Global South must be acknowledged.
We need to improve the representation of the countries from Latin America, Asia, and Africa. We need to build a new world order where there are no teachers and students, and where all questions are resolved based on consensus reflecting a balance of interests.
The G20 must be depoliticized. It must focus on its initial mandate to draft mutually acceptable win-win measures in finance and the economy.
We are deeply alarmed that last year Germany, Italy, and Japan voted against a UN resolution against the glorification of Nazism. Have they sincerely repented following their mass crimes against humanity?
We are at a crossroads. We need to avert a global war and a disruption of the global mechanisms of cooperation that have been built over so many decades.
