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.

Biden has announced his desire to run for President, unite all of Europe, and “put down” the President of Russia “where he cannot cause the kind of trouble he’s been causing.” So, this is what the US President’s mission is all about! And we used to think – naively – that it was to secure Americans’ prosperity.
Anyway, nothing of it is going to happen. One of reasons is because he has already forgotten what he said.
Dementia is a useful thing.

Interesting! Saudi Finance Minister Mohammed al-Jadaan fighting the Western narrative on Chinese lending to Africa and the BRI:
“Maybe it’s time to set the record straight. China stepped up when people actually shied away from Africa. China built infrastructure that they cannot carry with them to China, it will actually be in Africa. China took the risks, when people didn’t want to take the risks. Instead of actually poking China, I think we should establish here that they did what they needed to do for their own interest, but also to actually help other nations… Instead of just antagonizing them, and actually damaging the low income countries which need their help, we should just show China as much love as we can, for the sake of the low-income countries, which need to find solutions for their debt.”

Wow! Ex leader of Germany confirms revelations by ex Israeli PM & Ukrainian media: “At the peace negotiations in Istanbul in March 2022 with Rustem Umerov, the Ukrainians did not agree on peace because they were not allowed to. For everything they discussed, they first had to ask the Americans. I had two talks with Umerov, then a one-on-one meeting with Putin, and then with Putin’s envoy. Umerov opened the conversation with greetings from Zelensky. As a compromise for Ukraine’s security guarantees, the Austrian model or the 5+1 model was proposed. Umerow thought that was a good thing. He also showed willingness on the other points. He also said that Ukraine does not want NATO membership. He also said that Ukraine wants to reintroduce Russian in the Donbass. But in the end, nothing happened. My impression was that nothing could happen, because everything else was decided in Washington. That was fatal. Because the result will now be that Russia will be tied more closely to China, which the West should not want.
And the Europeans?
They have failed. There would have been a window in March 2022. The Ukrainians were ready to talk about Crimea. This was even confirmed by the Bild newspaper at the time.
(Gerhard Schroeder shows a page from the BILD newspaper with the title “Finally peace in sight?”. It says: “Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky (44) himself had already hinted at concessions for negotiations: He no longer insists on his country’s accession to NATO, he told the US broadcaster ABC. And he is also ready for a ‘compromise’ on Crimea and the breakaway provinces in the Donbass. ‘In every negotiation, my goal is to end the war with Russia,’ Zelensky told BILD.
In 2022, I received a request from Ukraine asking if I could mediate between Russia and Ukraine. The question was whether I could convey a message to Putin. There would also be someone who would have a very close relationship with the Ukrainian president himself. This was Rustem Umerov, the current Minister of Defense of Ukraine. He is a member of the Crimean Tatar minority. Then the question was: How to end the war?”

The general consensus is that Russia and Ukraine had a tentative peace deal worked out back in March 2022, then the Anglo-American axis blocked it.
If the deal had been allowed to proceed, it would have been a massive damp squib for the Washington neocons. They didn’t spend eight years beefing up Ukraine, just to have peace break out. The plan was to provoke Russian “aggression”, then devastate its economy with the mother of all sanctions wars, while attacking Crimea and destabilizing the border regions.
If all went according to plan, this would make Putin deeply unpopular in Russia, resulting in a “Moscow Maidan” and ultimately his overthrow. The neocons would then seize the opportunity to install an obedient, controllable regime, just like they did in Kiev.
Bringing Moscow under Washington’s domination would be a huge prize in itself, but gaining geostrategic control over Russia’s southern perimeter is a key step towards controlling the “crossroads” of Central Asia, and thus to controlling China.
Washington’s gamble is backfiring spectacularly.
