I'm really reading some disturbing news in the main forums of how Obama intends to fix our economy. Instead of following in the footsteps of FDR he is choosing to bring the Milton Friedman Chicago School of Economics economists on board and they are giving him the wrong advice already. Every place their methods have been tried have been an utter failure, in Chile, in Argentina and in Great Britain. Now this seems to be rumor. Has anybody gotten any intuition that he is planning this? If so is it a short term mistake that he will fix as soon as he sees the error of his ways? Honestly, to do this is certain failure and a single term for him because the Republican smear machine will be in place to blame the whole economy on him. Can you guys help? Please don't be afraid of bringing bad news. At least it will help us prepare for it.

[Why Syzygy]

1. Nothing psychic here .. but

I did some research. I'm not schooled in economics, but found this:

Another champion of health care socialism was the late Milton Friedman, the Nobel Prize-winning libertarian economist who popularized free-market fundamentalism in tracts like "Free to Choose." While he favored individual health savings accounts for minor expenses, Friedman proposed that major costs be paid for by mandatory catastrophic health care coverage run by the federal government. Ronald Reagan -- yet another socialist like Obama, it appears -- liked this redistributionist idea so much he proposed its enactment.

Milton Friedman's socialism did not end with health care. McCain and Palin claim that Obama is a socialist because he supports various refundable tax credits for the poor. A refundable tax credit is a government payment to those who make too little to pay income taxes, in the amount of the credit they could have claimed against their income taxes if they were more affluent. In the 1970s, Friedman pushed the granddaddy of all refundable tax credits, the Negative Income Tax, which would have replaced most in-kind welfare benefits with checks to the poor. Friedman's Negative Income Tax was proposed by that well-known leftist radical Richard Nixon.

The negative income tax went nowhere, but another refundable tax credit became the favorite tool of Ronald Reagan and George W. Bush in combating poverty -- the earned income tax credit (EITC), which is paid to workers with low wages. Conservative Republicans favor the EITC because it is a subsidy to sleazy low-wage employers. They also believe it averts political pressure for a decent, which is to say much higher, minimum wage. In other words, the EITC so beloved by Reagan and Bush is not only socialism but also corporate welfare.

It also seems that Obama has always sided with this faction:

Beware the Chicago boys
Obama's vow of love for free markets gives reason to fear a replay of Bill Clinton's 1993 U-turn
Naomi Klein
June 14 2008

Now is the time to worry about Obama's Chicago Boys and their commitment to fending off regulation. It was in the two-and-a-half months between winning the 1992 election and being sworn into office in 1993 that Bill Clinton did a U-turn on the economy. He had promised to revise the North American Free Trade Agreement, adding labour and environmental provisions - but two weeks before his inauguration, the then Goldman Sachs chief, Robert Rubin, convinced him of the urgency of embracing liberalisation.

2. I am familiar with this school of economics.

They converted Social Security into those investment savings accounts that the Republicans love so much in Chile and Great Britain with the result that the pensioners in both countries lost all their money and were starving. The Brits rigged up a SS system like ours to take care of their starving seniors because it didn't work. All it is is a candy store for retirement managers to put their hand in the cookie jar. I don't know if Chile remedied it. The health plan that Massachusetts has is based on theirs and it's failing and costing the state a lot of money. Not only that families that can't afford health insurance are required to buy it. It's a burden to them. I'm upset that this is the same plan Ted Kennedy is trying to push nationally. It fixes nothing in our health care but gives the for profit insurance companies access to our Treasury just like the god awful useless Prescription drug benefit that they gave us in Medicare.

We got to pray that Obama sees the error of this way and changes his path. Thanks for the links.

3. At this point, I am completely disgusted. Bamboozled comes to mind.

Hillary plays hardball

The first sign of friction in the Obama camp as Mrs Clinton demands - and gets - a purge of her critics before accepting Secretary of State role

By Leonard Doyle in Washington
Sunday, 23 November 2008

Before Hillary Clinton has been formally offered the job as Secretary of State, a purge of Barack Obama's top foreign policy team has begun.

The advisers who helped trash the former First Lady's foreign policy credentials on the campaign trail are being brutally shunted aside, as the price of her accepting the job of being the public face of America to the world. In negotiations with Mr Obama this week before agreeing to take the job, she demanded and received assurances that she alone should appoint staff to the State Department. She also got assurances that she will have direct access to the President and will not have to go through his foreign policy advisers on the National Security Council, which is where many of her critics in the Obama team are expected to end up.

edit: I've already decided to get a passport asap. The astro report Dream posted advised to put them away. Ironic. I've never mentioned this here, but I am on disability. I have spent the past 2.5 years trying to work, because I just did not want to accept that I am not able to. However, it has become clear that I cannot work. Perhaps in a perfect world where whatever talents I could bring would be valued, I would have a chance. As our work culture stands, I cannot comply. I had to give up my medical coverage and other social services in order to just walk into a job. I have reached the point where I cannot balance the stress any more. I'm going to be living in my car or a tent until I can get into something low income in a much smaller town. I'm also considering giving up politics altogether.

[Cleita]

4. Oh, I'm so sorry to hear that.

There are towns that are cheaper to live in like in Nevada. Actually, Las Vegas is pretty cheap to live in because the gambling pays for a lot stuff that we pay retail for, the locals get stuff pretty cheaply. I don't know about rents. I knew many people who retired there because it was so cheap to rent, but I don't know about today. You could look at Craig's list that lists a lot of rentals around the country to get a feel for it.

[Why Syzygy]

5. I lived in Vegas

for four years, and have considered going back. However, I recently saw an article about there being high unemployment even there. If people don't have disposable income, they won't gamble. Since I'm single and my son is grown, I can go anywhere. Even Vancouver, maybe. I plan to start out in a small town where I lived two years when I first came back to Texas. Probably. I was healthy then and still could never find a job in that town. As the time approaches I am racking my brain to come up with a solution.

Both the Texas Guaranteed Student Loan and the IRS have garnished my disability checks. As long as I'm trying to work, they can do that. After I give up my trial work experience (now), I can probably re-negotiate those debts. I have sacrificed a LOT to try to prove to myself that I'm not "defective".

I was really counting on health care becoming a reality. It looks more and more that it will be the same old, "you're on your own".

[Cleita]

6. Have you ever been to Spokane or parts of eastern Washington?

If you go out to the more rural areas, it's much easier to live cheaply. Washington State also has a basic health care system, plus many communities take care of their own with volunteer firemen and bare bones medical clinics. I had to take my husband to one when he had a stroke and we were stranded in the woods near the Canadian border. The small clinic in the town of Ione had a nurse practitioner who was able to give him emergency care and after he saw a doctor in Spokane follow up care. It was really cheap too like $10 a visit. Of course this was fifteen years ago, but I'm sure things are still cheaper there.

Also on edit: There's plenty of camping and a lot of it free, however, I don't recommend it until spring.

[Why Syzygy]

7. Thanks for the info.

I've not been to Washington or even northern California. The small town I'm thinking of had an excellent low income medical clinic, as well as specialized health care that I need. A lot of those funds have been cut state wide. So, I'm not sure of the status now. I lived there '96-98.

Wow, a stroke. That's pretty serious. Is that how he passed? Strokes run on my dad's side of the family. He went down with cancer, but his dad and sister both died of strokes. My maternal grandmother did also. I watch my blood pressure, but don't have to take medication as do my mother and one sister.

I've seen houses for sale in Arkansas that have payments much lower than the rent I pay.

[Cleita]

8. Well, not till fifteen years later, but it was the beginning of his decline. n/t

[Why Syzygy]

11. I'm sorry.

I know you miss him terribly. I'm glad you can at least dream about him.

[northernlights]

9. so sorry, votesomemore

the pictures of tent cities in Las Vegas, many evacuees from Eugene OR looking for work as I recall, make it look like high unemployment there, too.

In general, I would try to stick to someplace reasonably warm, so you aren't burning money in the furnace.

You're not defective. You're not alone. I concluded health care is "your on your own" back in the early 80s when I was very sick and the HMO wouldn't even run a simple CBC. I never thought they'd go for single payer here. Not even with Obama.

As far as the rest of it, I'm not giving up based on the media rumour mill. But my intuition has been telling me for a while that there would be a massive stimulus that would give a short term bump, very possibly followed by a freefall.

Last year I saw myself selling my home during the bump and moving to the far north to finish school, just in time to avoid some major calamity to the south. At the time, I thought terrorist attack or war. But for all I know, it could be the economy.

[Why Syzygy]

10. I'm picking up a tent

from freecycle this week. My 'long term' goal is to have some kind of home on wheels. A converted panel truck or something. I think camping rates are usually quite reasonable. And there are truck stops for showers, I think. My cat is my biggest concern. I don't think he is going to like living in the car.

ps.. re: warm... that's a concern too. Close by I have south Texas and West Texas, and might even head to California after I can do some upkeep on my car. The small town is north of here, and will be colder this winter.

[Cleita]

12. I had three cats in a trailer for ten years.

The trick is to get the kitty used to the car and any camper or trailer or tent months before you go anywhere. Let him go in and out of it, sleep and eat in it. Be sure you have a litter box. The idea is to make him feel at home there while still at home. I used torn newspaper and changed it everyday for the litter box. My husband would buy a paper to read. I would tear it and line the litter box the next day. I had to keep it in the tiny shower, but changing it everyday kept it from stinking. I also used some litter deodorant in it as well. I used a leash to take them out, but after a while I was able to let them out anywhere and they would always return. People in camp grounds were always amazed that they never ran away. Be sure to bring him in before dark though because that's when the predators are out. All three of my kitties died of old age and actually liked camping once they got used to it.

[Why Syzygy]

13. Oh wow!

What a wonderful story. I have been hesitant to talk about this because I feel like a failure and didn't want to advertise it. But, now that I've opened up, I'm starting to feel better and more energized. I also just had someone come buy a small bit of furniture I'm selling. I am NOT going to rent storage month after month for the stuff I have. I will have to get a small storage for my memorabilia and some things I don't want to part with. I have slashed my wardrobe. Whatever is left, I will give away.

We're not going to have time for him to get used to it. I'm counting on our close bond to get us through. I'm paying more attention to him than usual. He can already tell something is up around here.

I am going to make him a special place in the car or whatever. I found the greatest kitty litter. It's white and blue and completely absorbs liquid, and solids just lay on top with no odor. I would have to look up what it is. He goes outside mostly, so I've had the same litter tray since July. I've also thought to fashion some kind of leash for him. The cheap one I got at Petsmart is not going to work. It needs to have wide straps. He goes out the back window to go outside. I open or close it depending. I've started calling him in after dark, and he comes when I call him. He never did that in our old house. ..

Cleita .. I can feel that I am so close to getting a second kitty. I know. I need my head examined. I think my old neighbor abandoned her cat when she moved back north. I saw one that looked like Cloe when I was over in that neighborhood. I can't allow that. She does know my kitty. I haven't been able to find her yet.

[Cleita]

14. It looks like you have a plan. When you start staying in camp grounds you

might be able to pick up a small but serviceable trailer for a few hundred dollars. My kitties always preferred to travel in the trailer because they didn't have to be confined to crates and could look out the window at the passing scenery. I know they say you shouldn't but cats don't get bounced around that much because they can hang on with their claws. Mine were always able to find places that were comfortable for them while on the road. I hope you find that other kitty. I hope she gets along with yours.

[Why Syzygy]

19. But, Cleita . what do you do when

there are extreme temperatures and you have to leave them in the vehicle? My kitty loves the heat, but it won't always be safe to leave him there. Plus, I'm under the impression that I could be charged with criminal charges if someone sees him alone in my car.

[Cleita]

20. You can't leave yourself nor the kitty in those kind of extreme circumstances.

Yes, and you never leave kitty alone in the vehicle. It's going to take some planning on your part to do this. I think now I never did leave them alone. Even when we had to go to the market or somewhere, one of us stayed behind. It was sort of like having kids.

[Why Syzygy]

21. Oh dear.

You can understand why this is my number one concern. Actually my son is coming this week. The only thing I feel comfortable with, would be to return Boogie to his adoption agency. Those ARE the terms. However, he was never supposed to go outside, according to their contract, and I don't know how they would handle his crave for the out of doors. My son could take Boogie back up there if . I don't know.

[Cleita]

22. You need to figure out how to deal with Boogie not give him up.

Since I posted to you last, I thought about how to deal with this. If you go to a campground and set up your tent, make sure it's in a shaded place and keep it well aired. Boogie is going to have to go into a crate or cat carrier to travel so put him in it and in the tent if you need to go to the store. You won't be able to be gone more than a couple of hours. I have found out as a campground host that most people don't mess with other people's camp space. It's doable. :hug: I'm not saying anymore right now because it's something you have to think about, but P. M. me and I will try to help you with this as far as advice.

[Why Syzygy]

23. I will pm you..

I have thought about his crate, and the one I have is just too small. So, I have a square box, about 2 ft square. It happens to have some handles on it and vent spaces. I've been thinking that I would cut more vents and cozy it up for him. It will take up a good portion of the backseat. But, when we're traveling I'm planning to allow him about half the backseat area. I've already thought that far.

I know a lot of people around here who get together and go camping all the time. I wonder if it would be to my benefit to stick around this area for awhile and join those outings so I can develop some camping skills. I've done an RV vacation, and the trailer at the lake, so there's some idea of what has to be done. I wish I knew someone who wanted to travel together. It's always best to have a travel buddy. I learned that on a 28 hour bus trip from Miami to Beaumont. It's easy to buddy up on a bus.

btw.. my heart did a little leap when you said I have to keep him :D

[Ino]

27. I have a crate for you if you're interested

It's 21x19x24, similar to the one on this webpage
http://www.petsmart.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2753745

It does NOT have handles or a divider, but it does have a tray in the bottom.

If your kitty needs to be confined, at least he/she won't feel "boxed in." You can put a towel over it if kitty needs shade. Or maybe fashion a shelf for her to curl up on or underneath.

Let me know if you're interested!

[Why Syzygy]

28. Wow, thanks.

Don't know how I would get it? Although, I note you're in MO, and I do have friends there. I've thought about visiting them. I was there two Christmases ago. Not at all sure something like that would work out right away. I'll pm you.

I'm looking for ideas for a comfy harness. I'm not going to be able to confine him to the car forever.

I'll put his current crate on freecycle. He had it when he was a kitten, and it is not at all suitable.

Thank you so much for your offer.

[Ino]

36. Have you checked your PM's?

The crate is on its way!

[Cleita]

29. Wow, Ino that would be perfect for her. That's really generous of you.

She will still need something like a carrier to transport him in the car, but that crate is perfect for the camp ground. Just a few little touches to make it like kitty home and Boogie is good to become a happy camper.

[I Have A Dream]

You've been through so much, and I've always admired your ability to keep going. :hug:

16. Thank you, Dream..

I have a sense that when I give up trying to fit myself into the molds that have been provided, I might find the meaningful part of myself. The part that has something to offer.

One thing I've always had is resiliency. Of late, I've been feeling that it isn't as strong as it used to be, wanting to give up.
But, I don't know what else to do other than keep paddling.

:hug:

[I Have A Dream]

17. Well, whether you realize it or not, I've learned a great deal...

from you since you've been posting here. Your intelligence and curiosity have always inspired me to keep searching rather than allowing myself to stagnate, which is very easy for me to do. (I have a very lazy mind. :() Please don't think that you haven't had an impact on the world already.

Yes, keep paddling; you'll ultimately get to your destination, and it will be worth it. My wish for you is that you find peace, my friend. :hug:

18. Back to topic ..

I looked through the Psychic Consortium threads and came up with a few items that relate.

9. President Obama will be a significant departure from past American presidents. He will be assembling a team of incredible talent to work for the good of the American people. He will ask Republicans to work with him as well as Democrats.


4. While the Republican party infighting has been horrendous and fierce, the Democratic party is not without its own drama. Major Democratic party tectonic plates are shifting as we move into the 21st century. Some within the party are resisting. Certain prominent Democrats have been working against Obama and believe they can defeat him. They are sadly mistaken and have made a strategic blunder of gigantic proportions. If they had worked with Obama, instead of against him, they would have been placed at very high levels in his administration. As it stands now, they will lose a great deal of power and prestige in the years to come.


President Obama is going to demonstrate a new way to lead.
A way that emphasizes public service, with leaders who serve the people and the country, not just themselves and special interest groups.

He will bring a practical wisdom as well as fairness, honesty, integrity.

Public service will be considered a sacred trust, and leaders will be expected to perform at much higher levels than they do now.

He will ask the public as well to serve when and where they can, and to demonstrate the same personal responsibility he asks of the leaders.

As this new concept begins to dawn on the American people, they will be electrified.

Politicians from both parties will need to make some choices about continuing in the old corrupt way, or moving into the 21st century.

It is going to take many dedicated people to help this country recover from the current devastation. And it will become clear that all of our futures depend on working together. Some politicians will be able to do this, others will not.


2. Currently there is an unprecedented historical momentum that is unstoppable. It is the shifting of major tectonic plates on many levels and cannot be changed. President Obama will be a reflection of that change, but it goes much deeper than one man. It is a change of the zeitgeist, or spirit of the times, not just the election of a new leader.


6. President Obama will demonstrate his 21st century leadership style which will set a new standard in public service and governance. President Obama’s administration will be comprised of outstanding public servants, selected regardless of party, gender, or race. In the future, the Obama Leadership Style will be the subject of extensive political science discussion and will be considered historic.



7. President Obama will also set a new standard in innovative and extremely successful foreign policy, resulting in a safer and stronger America. This will be known as the Obama Doctrine and also the subject of considerable study.

[mysticalchick]

24. This is what came into my head ...

... don't go into the fear. Just don't. It doesn't help you or humanity to send that vibration out. Let's wait and see how it pans out for now. I'm not saying don't speak up if something doesn't feel right to you. I am saying we, as lightworkers, must live what we espouse and that means staying out of that vibration as much as possible and uphold that light energy.

Does that make sense to anyone else?

[rosesaylavee]

25. Makes sense to me

I think there is a lot of fear brewing ... and Obama isn't even in charge yet. I think a lot of it is generated by the MSM who need ratings and RW pundits who need to have something to rant about.

I am just 'not going there' until it is obvious and clear that Obama and his newly assembled team (which is still assembling) are the ones responsible for making wrong decisions.

[conscious evolution]

26. We are the change we

have been waiting on.

Makes perfect sense.

[Kind of Blue]

30. "...must live what we espouse and that means staying out of that vibration as much as possible."

Well said, mysticalchick. I've got a story that helped me a lot.
A few years ago I was in a terribly desperate situation concerning job, money, working at the most awful "Christian" place, wanting to quit, and feeling like a complete failure. One afternoon, I was praying hard for an answer and didn't realize that I fell asleep crying. The next thing I knew, I was walking around in an all white space, couldn't tell how deep or high the area spanned. Then a spry Gandhi-looking man appeared out of nowhere busy doing stuff in this empty room(?), a crazy pantomime of busyness. He finally noticed me and with complete familiarity and impatience said, "You finally made here. What is it now?" I told him that all I wanted was to achieve a sense of well-being. He looked at me as if I was daft and said, "well-being is being well." I looked at him stunned by the double talk and all of a sudden I understood. Then the space became absolutely filled with books and documents, and a small desk loaded with tons of rolled up parchment. I thanked him, he shooed me away and went back busily arranging, sorting and placing stuff.
I woke up knowing exactly what to do. I marched straight to that job the next morning and quit, knowing that I was going into free fall. I knew this was the first step to being well. Blah, blah, blah everything worked out fine. But that's how a lot of people feel right now, like the falling will never end or will end awfully.
My point is that instead of seeking well being, especially in our new President-elect Obama, I had to first actively BE okay with myself, just me with all my flaws and frailties, as well great innate stuff that we all possess. And from there I know that I voted for the man who will lead the country out of this crisis with the good of the poor and middle class in his heart. Not that I blindly follow or believe everything he wants will come to fruition, but I outright refuse to give in to the fear and worry, there's no light there, only darkness and, to me, no answers. Obama's vibration is in sync with mine, so I actively mentally pivot from that fear concerning him and his new team. It does absolutely no good whatsoever.

[Psychic Consortium]

32. This is 100% correct. n/t

[Psychic Consortium]

31. Nov 25 2008 From the Psychic Consortium

1. Do not be afraid. All is unfolding in a satisfactory way.

2. Obama is pulling his cabinet and advisers from ALL areas -- not just Milton Friedman. Because he is working from the premise that nothing is ALL bad and nothing is ALL good, it is appropriate to pull the good things from any and all methods. It does not mean he is buying into that philosophy completely.

3. While Laissez Faire capitalism as we all know it doesn't work, capitalism isn't bad per se. There will be regulation of the markets for the public good.

4. Obama is in the beginning stage of a creative effort. This stage often is messy and confusing to others. Most of you can think of a time when you made something, a cake, a dress, or assembled a bouquet of flowers. As you assemble the individual ingredients or materials, they often look unappetizing or without merit standing on their own. The genius is how the parts are put together into a meaningful whole. In Obama’s finished creation, the sum will be bigger than the parts.

5. Any team member, regardless of personality, background, experience, will be working for Obama, under his tutelage and direction. The metaphor of an orchestra leader is fitting here. Many diverse instruments come together under the leadership of one person who directs all. The result is beautiful music.

6. Obama is putting together a new kind of team, a 21st century team. Yet everyone is still evaluating him with a 20th century yardstick.

7. The public also has missing information about the reality of the economic situation. Some of Obama’s picks will make sense as the truth unfolds.

8. Obama is walking a thin line at this time. He wishes a government based on truth and transparency, but he must also instill confidence and calm.

9. Obama has a limited talent pool from which to chose, and he is picking the best available to enact the needed solutions. He has a clear vision of process and outcome and is putting the pieces together to make it happen.

10. The process will be one of zig zagging somewhat, but is moving in the correct direction.

11. Obama’s approach will be very successful. The republican smear machine will no longer work and fall on deaf ears. The public will see for themselves what is true, right and working well.

12. LIGHTWORKERS: A great deal of negative energy on the planet was released on the night of the election and subsequent days. However there is still a great deal of fear and upset. Many of you are picking up on these feelings swirling around you.

13. Many of you chose to be light workers and way showers. Please stay true to your
mission. Ground the light that is coming to you. Show the way for others.

14. The antidote to fear is gratitude. Be thankful for what we have in all areas.

[Missy Vixen]

33. Psychic Consortium, thank you so much for responding

I keep remembering that phrase of FDR's: All we have to fear is fear itself.

Even as just one person, I have the feeling that the best thing I can do is to remain calm and hopeful. Let's think good thoughts for those who are afraid and need encouragement right now.

Julie

[Psychic Consortium]

34. "All we have to fear is fear itself"

This phrase has also been echoing among PC team members.

Your other comments are correct as well.

[Psychic Consortium]

37. Currently we are witnessing a civilization progressing

There is a big shift in leadership choices and style.

The people are beginning to choose worthy leaders who demonstrate intelligence, competence and talent rather than rhetoric and ideology.

We are beginning to elect officials who are intellectually and morally fit to hold office.
And those officials use the same criteria when making their staff appointments.

[Cleita]

38. Thank you everyone who replied with your long and thoughtful posts.

It certainly makes me more optimistic about the future.

[NuttyFluffers]

39. :) it is as it should be. just bring forth your light, do not hide it out of fear or disgust.

i deliberately stayed away from commenting on DU for weeks after the election. note how agitated and even frenzied DUers were afterwards. it was a massive discharge of dark energy and its reverberations shook through everyone, most notably in the empathically sensitive. hence we had such fragile nerves lately.

we have real work to do, but it requires changing our old thinking. politics is graduating from its previous 'zero sum' assessment into something new. we will need people familiar with a wide variety of knowledge -- yes, even from those in philosophies, and even dogmas, with which we do not agree -- to survive together. yes, even workers in "disproven theories" will be needed, if at least for their familiarity on the levers and gears of certain social machines. this does not necessarily mean they wield all the power, however. we are graduating to a new level of power dynamics involving a lot of sharing and cooperation.

also, we have much apathy and cynicism that is karma to be resolved. so much of this failure in sloth is derived from fear. we need to become active again. we need to truly move cooperatively if we are to survive. and the biggest threat to that is the core of fear. because through fear paralysis, fanaticism, and escapism seep into our world. walk away from the fear.

things will not be dogmatically perfect for any group at all, but together we need each other as never before. walk away from fear-based division and helplessness. walk back into the light. you really have more power than you think. awaken others and bring something new and good into the world. with the help of others your desires can be made known in a powerful choir of sympathetic resonance. it can even bring new solutions that could be used in this new gov't.

now is the time to shine baby, shine.
