"Rather than continuing the current path to undermine and block America's fossil fuel producers, the Trump Administration will encourage the production of these resources by opening onshore and offshore leasing on federal lands and waters. We will streamline the permitting process for all energy projects, including the billions of dollars in projects held up by President Obama, and rescind the job-destroying executive actions under his Administration. We will end the war on coal, and rescind the coal mining lease moratorium, the excessive Interior Department stream rule, and conduct a top-down review of all anti-coal regulations issued by the Obama Administration. We will eliminate the highly invasive "Waters of the US" rule, and scrap the $5 trillion dollar Obama-Clinton Climate Action Plan and the Clean Power Plan and prevent these unilateral plans from increasing monthly electric bills by double-digits without any measurable effect on Earth's climate.Rather than continuing the current path to undermine and block America's fossil fuel producers, the Trump Administration will encourage the production of these resources by opening onshore and offshore leasing on federal lands and waters.

Pearly dream ....
A story composed after a dream of Pearly gates
So Donald Trump finally dies after a long successful life as President of the United States serving two terms and handing off his throne to his sons, who both serve two terms. Nevertheless, age catches up with him and the singularity has not occurred so he journeys to the Pearly Gates where he is met by a gate keeper white soul with a long white beard and a meta-iPad version 36. "I would like to be considered for a place in Heaven" says the Donald.
The white soul looks down at his ledger, "We have been monitoring your progress Donald. It has been outstanding long since you defeated Hillary Clinton in the 2016 election. Let's see what your overall numbers say. The demand for Heavenly places has risen sharply with many claiming to have lived saintly lives based on principles espoused by Bernie Sanders. You are missing from that list. So what principles have you lived by Donald?"
The Donald with a long wide grin responds in a confident voice, "I love beauty, wonder, wealth and being very smart. I have followed the principles espoused by President Vladimir Putin of Russia. They served me very well during my Presidency of the United States. I understand Vladimir was admitted to heaven after he took Bernie Sanders as his patron and followed in true socialist principles. I am thinking that by adopting Putin's earlier philosophy I would meet your entry requirements." The white gatekeeper soul looked at Donald and said, "You, indeed, have an impressive record. Your numbers are really off the chart on the debit side by trillions through your total disregard and contempt for the Ten Commandments. You also totally disregarded Jesus Christ's new Covenant.
This poses a major problem for you. Have you considered making the journey on the downwards leading path to 'you know where'. I understand that you might be considered. We could put in a good word for you.
The Donald smiled meekly, "Thank you for your time. I was hoping that I would not have to go where all those Mexican criminals, rapists and Junkees would end up." The white gate keeper soul looked at his ethereal iPad and noted that Hades was completely devoid of nasty Mexicans. He looked to see why. "Donald, we have a wonderfully strange thing in our records. Apparently, Jesus Christ forgave all those Mexicans for their sins on the basis that their many problems stemmed from guns manufactured in America used by the drug lords to enforce drug addictions around the world and in America."
The white gate keeper then explained that that program had ended because Donald Trump has built a wall across North America to keep the Mexicans from entering America. Well, it had worked and had stopped American guns and bullets from reaching Mexico as well. The people all across the America's were so bolstered by this effect of the wall that they banned guns and legalised drugs and collected the guns all for recycling and used them to make barbed wire to keep American guns out.
The Donald reluctantly made his way to the fiery gates of Hades where he was met by a red bearded soul with a red ledger. The Donald asks the gate keeper to open the gates for him. The red soul says, "Wait a minute, I will consult with my boss as son as he ends his 'tissy' fit. He is in argument with Adolph Hitler, who does not want you to be admitted. Hitler's argument is that you became a friend of Vladimir Putin. So just wait!"
The red soul departs into Hades and returns after a very long hour. The Donald is waiting patiently. The red soul says, "I am sorry Donald but your application to Hades has been rejected by the Devil himself on the recommendation of Mao Tse Tung. Apparently, you have upset all the red souls in Hades because of your mischievous history, particularly, where you bear false witness against Hillary. I am sorry, but here in Hades, Hillary has become sort of a hero because of her stand on guns, even though you overruled it and jailed her and Bernie Sanders."
The Donald was heart broken once he realised that he had been rejected by both Heaven and Hell. He thought a while then decided that he would convert to the teachings of Bernie Sanders. As soon as he had done that a golden halo appeared over his head and Jesus Christ forgave him all his transgressions. The Donald now lives in Heaven in Trump Towers dedicated to converting white souls to the truths of Bernie Sanders. He even converted Hillary Clinton.
I am so happy this story has a happy ending!
Arthur

Sport stuff by Rob ...
Hi Arthur, Robert Lake uploaded papers on Academia.edu. Sport and Social Exclusion in Global Society offers a fresh look at recent developments in policy and academic discourse around sport and social exclusion. By expanding the notion of social exclusion beyond Global North perspectives, the authors offer an important contribution, through articulati...

The author's aims are to address two key questions: why cricket has become so deeply rooted within Indian culture, and why India, despite its huge population, does so poorly in international sp... Given the major-league stranglehold on baseball-related media, the substantial and in places increasing popularity of minor-league baseball remains something of a mystery to some. Despite the seemingly ubiquitous threat of franchise sales, relocations and shifting major-league affiliations, spect...

THE REAL ECONOMICS OF GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT
THE REAL ECONOMICS OF GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT
By Arthur Lake
Politics interferes with growth and development more than people like to admit. Japan has always had thousands of very small firms that actively develop to the needs of a few very large firms. Japan can infinitely produce more than it can sell. For Japan to grow it needs to negotiate trade arrangements that allow its surpluses a market elsewhere.
Economies of scale and a multiplicity of downward cost curves yet in a world that is growing more protectionist means that for Japan to grow it needs to expand its domestic demand.
The best thing would be a significant shift in the mix of what the Japanese buy. By having the government do more, households have more to spend and can trade up on quality. Thus, expansion of government spending while lowering taxes would spur growth.
This means running a significant deficit and potentially inflation as consumers shift to higher priced better quality items, which incidently would be easier to export.
Trading up consumption, trading up government participation in R and D. Paying higher wages and raising interest rates for savings through the issuance of high return Government bonds available ONLY to lower income households would change the mix of financial returns away from the stock market to government backed pension savings.
Higher government debt works in the correct direction weakening the exchange rate and discouraging external borrowing. By having wage inflation and higher disposable incomes the internal demand would grow while commerce makes bigger profits on downward sloping cost curves.
The stock market would grow on real returns. The pressure on domestic demand and higher incomes would pay down government debt sooner while the public sector expands and expands.
Everyone would be better off including the rest of the world.
Now vary the country name from Japan to Great Britain, United States, China, etc and ask why the world is not growing ...
