Why are Harper's Economic Policies an Unmitigated Disaster for Young and New Canadians
Harper's economic policies are in my view an unmitigated disaster over the full run of his term in office. Let me explain because it affects everyone of whatever political persuasion. Its also a direct consequence of George Bush's Economic Legacy in America.
One of the little talked about consequences of the crisis of 2008 is why economies are presently so sluggish, especially those advanced economies such as Canada. My meta analysis comes from years of advising banks and countries on economic issues and examination of what has happened since the financial meltdown and its consequences for Canadians, Brits and Americans. This is country neutral analysis that should be obvious to all, but continues to be an explanation of dynamic forces acting out bad policies in economic management. Its all in the mathematics of how economies work against large segments of their populations.
If you examine a consuming household budget you will see that generally during recessions purchases of large items such as houses and cars are deferred because nominal incomes don't support them. A pick up in the economy occurs when demand for land for housebuilding, housebuilding and homes rises. The pickup should linked in a meaningful way to rises in domestic incomes from salaries, profits and interest. But, what happens when the links are broken. What happens when the value of land bears little or no relationship to the movement of domestic incomes?
Suppose that you are a speculator, condominium builder, high rise constructor, or city home builder and you see the value of your land constant over time. What policies will you urge your central bank to implement? Why does very bad economics result?
What should be obvious to you, but is little talked about?

President Obama Says GOP Criticism ‘Ridiculous’ | TIME
Interesting reference to the fact of Obama's uncle helping to liberate Buchenwald camp years ago. Having visited the camp several years ago, which is near the very pretty city of Weimar, I wonder at the troops ever finding it. Apparently, the Americans at first when right by to Weimar. The fuller story is interesting. The camp is located in a beautiful forest and well hidden even from locals who would not necessarily know its presence seeing that most of the labour to build and operate the camp's extensive weapons facilities was of captured ally airmen and prisoners of war treated shamelessly to work them to death and torture many to get information about flights etc. the torture rooms looked like dreadful little hovels down dark steel strengthened corridors with no chance for escape. The smoke and smell of burning bodies would be clues, but even these operations were designed to hide the crimes ... One really has to wonder at the morality of the Republicans wasting this opportunity for peace ... as they most certainly will try ...

America as a failed experiment at civilisation and how the British belatedly won the revolutionary war
I tend to think that guns were exciting as a child playing games, and seeing John Wayne fight it out against the horrible natives was obviously a legacy to be maintained within the American shoot em up mentality. But, the advocacy of a gun culture really does mask that America is not very civilized as a community. There is a very real failure of civilising forces to assert what is and should be the right of all American citizens in a country continuously to enjoy life, liberty, and happiness without fear. Unfortunately, the distribution of fire arms is now so rampant in the US within groups that are best described as social misfits or psychologically damaged by stresses of American family or dysfunctional life that there is no real sense in the United States of life, liberty, nor happiness. The myth of happiness in America is almost as great as the myth of the efficacy of capitalism to sort out the needs for jobs, security, and well being. Each generation of Americans sees a new range of authorised weaponry as manufacturers dominate the dialogue and push their lethal goods out the door. This to me is the opposite of civilisation, a form of managed chaos by the arms industry that seriously limits American people and their fuller enjoyment of life, liberty and happiness. The American revolutionary experiment has failed miserably and threatens to spread its distorted sickness about values of peaceful coexistence worldwide. The world would be wise to ignor America's pleas for a distorted view of gun based diplomacy and gun based human rights until it can manage its own house and home, which on average still remain far from happy or civilised. It seems the British really did win the war of independence because America remains forever traumatised and what is obvious to its British neighbours is that the country has no idea of how to maintain a peaceful democracy modelled by the French revolution. Instead a form of tyranny of the powerful remains. By embedding the worst traits of the American failures at life, liberty and happiness, the Americans have deprived themselves of ever as a wholesome community enjoying a full peace and like the knights of old build security castles to live out their lives in fear and self imposed independence. Sure, there will be pockets of civilisation scattered through America, but the sense of universality of civilised community has been subjected to the gun worn by its citizens to protect each other from each other, a form of Hobbsian world without social agreement.

Sketches from scratches is a provocative blogspot that has grown out of the Wuh Lax experience. It is eclectic, which means that it might consider just about anything from the simple to the extremely difficult. A scratch can be something that is troubling me or a short line on paper. From a scratch comes a verbal sketch or image sketch of the issue or subject. Other sites have other stuff that should really be of interest to the broad reader. I try to develop themes, but variety often comes before depth.
