21st Century Fiscal/Monetary Blacksmithing: Part 3

Over the last two weeks, we’ve looked at real consequences of the government’s fiscal rigor mortis. We’ve also explored Modern Monetary Theory’s argument that the result of deficit spending is a public good—reduced unemployment and increased GDP growth.

This week, I’d like to give you a penny—no, a $1Trillion coin(!)—for your thoughts. (more…)

Season’s greetings to you this holiday season!

Dear Clients and Friends: Season’s greetings to you this holiday season!            As is our tradition during December, we want to publicly thank our Creator God for His love and faithfulness! The Holiday Season is a very special time for the Jewish and Christian faiths because they share spiritual beliefs rooted in the Torah (the first five books of the Bible) and they both celebrate the experience of faithfulness of the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Following is a brief summary of why each celebrates.

As it is, it is no longer I myself who do it, but it is sin living in me. I know that nothing good lives in me, that is, in my sinful nature. For I have the desire to do what is good, but I cannot carry it out. For what I do is not the good I want to do; no, the evil I do not want to do — this I keep on doing. Now if I do what I do not want to do, it is no longer I who do it, but it is sin living in me that does it.” Romans 7:15-20 Situational Analysis: The Disappointment with Our “Natural Human Bodies” Humans, all humans, have a condition creating weaknesses in their self-control and causing them to die.
