Real GDP as measured by FRED Charts is a little lower than regular GDP total US Growth.
Here is the Regular.
How much is Government Spending?
I used to say $4 Trillion US Dollars, ... I still say that but can't prove it except with Education Spending, Health Care Spending, Military Spending, a Federal Budget of $3.5 Trillion... and much more in state budget spending.
So... if GDP is $17 Trillion... maybe $7 Trillion is Government Spending?
>>66784054
Well and not sure how to Reorganize our Corporations, governments and economy exactly.

Automation, Computers, Robots, Outsourcing, Offshoring, Trade Agreements like GATT, WTO, Fast Track for NAFTA, CAFTA-DR,...
We know we are losing Jobs, Losing Technology, Losing R&D as Factories go offshore, Borders are opened, VISAs given to suppress wage rates and local labor, Losing Capital needed to invest in the Local, Regional, State, Economies...
So... We know we won't have full employment with education teaching non-trade oriented skills and suppressing local wages and competitiveness as labor laws are avoided.
115.6 million = Total Households
2.63 people per Household
319 Million = Total Population (FRED)
245 Million = Total Population over 16 years old (BLS)
147 Million = Total Employed (FRED & BLS)
94 Million = Total Not in Labor Force (FRED)
98 Million = Total Not in Labor Force (BLS over 16)
37% are not Employed and over 16 years old (BLS population)
40% not Employed using BLS over 16 Population minus Total Employed
- 108 Million People are on Welfare of some kind.
- So 33.9% of US Citizens are on Welfare
While I think $150 Million are getting some kind of Transfer Payment from Government.

Basic Economic Theories were about balance of Trade with foreign countries since if wealth is extracted from either small economies, state economies, or country sized economies... there is a loss of vigor.
Money Stock Velocity
Multiplier Effect
Manufacturing or Mercantilism were said to provide the highest multiplier effects that created new businesses and helped grow local business and economy.
If you look at Quantitative Theory by Irving Fisher (I'm not an Expert)... you see a Globalized Economy, outsourced economy, or a focus on buying goods from foreign production destroys the theory of velocity of money and... conservative understanding of money, money supply, financial ratings, bank theory.
The Theory's Calculations
In its simplest form, the theory is expressed as:
MV = PT (the Fisher Equation)
Each variable denotes the following:
M = Money Supply
V = Velocity of Circulation (the number of times money changes hands)
P = Average Price Level
T = Volume of Transactions of Goods and Services
How can we allow all the money to flow out of our country and allow foreign interests to buy assets within our Economy?
The reason is we have a World Reserve Currency (Fiat).
-
Corporate Bailouts are the same sort of practice that would not be allowed by conservative understanding of banking, money, money supply, government, and trade.

So low velocity can mean low inflation if you believe the goverment who doesn't measure health care, energy, education, food, housing, property taxes, transportation...
But low velocity can be a sign that national currency like the US Dollar is not working in the Economy as it is hoarded, stashed offshore, stashed in investments of the wealthy, invested offshore, or... goes offshore to foreign products and services.
Low Money Velocity clearly can be a sign that trade deals and balance of trade only serve the powerful, wealthy, or those at the top of the economy.

I had some data for Interest Rates under Volker here some place, but never really posted them much.
Volker raised interest rates in USA to 'Tard levels at the end of the 1970s and in early 1980s where we had a recession from it.
I think the levels went above 18%... to like 20% for most people.
But ... now I wish I could be some interest on savings that I put away.
We entered an era of neoliberalism in the 1980s with the advance of CIA Director G.H.W. Bush.
Hello
I don't understand economic moonspeak. So what do I invest in? Gold? Crude oil commodity stock?

In case we are Interested in how we will go to normal interest rates... normal banking... normal conservative banking practices... and normal federal government conservative budgeting, monetary, and fiscal policy:
Total--Interest on the Public Debt, Table 5 Monthly Treasury Report
2014 Total--Interest on the Public Debt = $429.568 Billion
2013 Total--Interest on the Public Debt = $415.670 Billion
2003 Total--Interest on the Public Debt = $318.149 Billion
2002 Total--Interest on the Public Debt = $332.537 Billion
2001 Total--Interest on the Public Debt = $359.508 Billion
2000 Total--Interest on the Public Debt = $362.118 Billion
1999 Total--Interest on the Public Debt = $353.511 Billion
1998 Total--Interest on the Public Debt = $363.824 Billion
Clearly... the Debt of $62 Trillion in the USA... has orders of magnitude of damage to the economy due to Usury (interest Rates and Fees).
Planning in any Enterprise would at this point will give a normal person a heart attack... State Budgets, Federal Budgets, Banking, Investors.... Manufacturers.
No wonder we don't have investors in this US Domestic Economy.
That and loopholes to go offshore!!!
>>66788664
It's a bit more complicated than that.
Keynes fucked up when he stated that all labor must inherently create supply. As a result, we assumed that if we gave free money to everyone, the supply would naturally rise to create the demand. Nope. We got stagflation, where inflation was rising, and people were too crippled to be employable.
Volcker had to clean up Keynes's misconception, and I say this as someone who understands the reality of a Liquidity Trap. Brutal interest rates taught austerity to hippie boomers, which gave rise to the current world order we know and love.
But something else happened as well...the Shareholder Revolution.
Between the 20s-70s Capitalism and Communist economic performances were neck and neck. But a guy names Jack Welch figured out the weaknesses of Capitalism (moral hazard between management and shareholders,) and taught us the concept of Shareholder Value. This pretty much gave Capitalism a 'second-life' and created the Gordon Gecko's of the world.
The US pulled ahead, because it was effectively in 'late 20th century economics' were-as the Soviets were stuck in the early 20th Century economics. Interestingly, Deng did reforms as well, but most Westerners cannot cognitively understand Chinese economics. Nevertheless, China is in 'late 20th century' economics as well.
The actual shitstorm begins in 92, when Clinton reorients the Left to become pro-business. It's obvious that we expect right-wingers to speak emphatically about business. But when Clinton took the Left, nobody 'was left in the left.' And that's when things went unleashed.
It gets more complicated after this, because the only reason why we've been here this long is because of the Religious Right's unconditional cooperation with Neoliberalism. Unfortunately, this means that Christianity is dead, because now people associate Christ with Free Market Globalism, and they hate Free Market Globalism enough to reject Christ itself.

Hello.
No hold off on investments till you are educated on Economics, Trade, Finance, Exchange Markets.
Normal Times... maybe we would say invest a small amount like $100 per month over 30 years in an Index Fund with Low Expenses, Low Fees, Low costs....
I don't think these are normal times.
An index fund would hold many stocks, many bonds, or many of both... in order to diversify and reduce risks. In the last 15 years we see new product for investment called the ETF which can target indexes of various kinds and have the lowest costs possible for investments in paper like stocks and bonds.
But you need to read newspapers or internet news and find a mentor.
A mentor would not be a financial adviser since they have an interest in making a career (there career in financial advice).

There isn't a straight account of this anywhere in public knowledge, because Liberals can't into history, desu.
But the problem is that in 2016, all of the programming in White Men is gone. Men like Karl Rove are useless, because the 'useful idiots' are effectively dead, and all that's left are bitter angry White Rural Voters who want to beat the fuck out of anything that reminds them of Globalism.
We are here now, not because of suffering, but because people are playing a game that's beyond their ability.

To my knowledge, I'm the only person alive who has a working theory of Stagflation. But to my knowledge, the origins of Stagflation are pretty fucking terrible.
>People can be so untalented as to be unemployable. Therefore, they consume goods and services, while being incapable of producing demand.
Hence, we've never explained Stagflation, because it would mean other, horrible, conclusions. (Even for Right Wingers.)

This explains why Inflation and Latin America go hand and hand. Too many people who can't follow basic instructions wind up consuming without producing.

Well there is a video of Milton Freidman about Negative Welfare?
Friedman is suggesting welfare payments in a new radical light.
Milton Friedman could be associated with Maynard Keynes... as a kind of "same school of thought"... so whether you see freidman as the father of the Chicago School of Economics or the neoliberals of economics...
Friedman was very influencial and has to enter into the discussion.
Unfortunately... I can't say I can speak knowledgeably about Friedman, Adam Smith, Volcker or others.
Money could be created out of Labor.
Or Money could be created out of debt like a loan... this is the US System... and there seems no limits on this for each US Bank of any kind of size (say... over $1 Billion for commercial Bank, or say $300 Million for private shadow bank).
> I say this as someone who understands the reality of a Liquidity Trap.

Friedman was like a doctor trying to invent a better cure for a cure that already works, because he hated the doctor. In hindsight, he has been the worst thing to the establishment since Rasputin.
Too late now though. Damage has been done.
Basic Income and 'Negative Welfare' would create Stagflation, because the supply wouldn't necessarily rise fast enough to incorporate the free money.
Your sources also suggest that the free money the rich have received may be creating inflation. But unlike 'stagflation,' we have plenty of people who could be employed, but aren't.
But there are other factors, and there are people who COULD create supply, but cannot due to lack of investment (which is the Liquidity Trap that Keynes referred to.)

Lots of Deregulation to consider going back to the 1970s:

1984 - Caribbean Basin Initiative (Free Imports to USA)
1992 - Energy Policy Act (H.W. Bush)
1994 - WTO Authorization, Fast Track Authority for US President
1994 - NAFTA, Deregulation of Trade, 3 Nations (W. Clinton)
1995 - Community Reinvestment Act, the Clinton Admin urged flexibility,
1996 - Energy Deregulation (W. Clinton, followed by ENRON Scandal)
1996 - Telecommunications Act (W. Clinton, cross ownership)
1982 – Garn–St. Germain Depository Institutions Act
1999 – Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act
2000 – Commodity Futures Modernization Act of 2000
2002 – Sarbanes–Oxley Act
2003 – Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act of 2003
2006 – Credit Rating Agency Reform Act of 2006
- Let me look for longer list.
>>66792618
Right. But in the 70s and 80s, men like me were in power, and kept the Deregulation from going too far, or becoming unproductive.
When Clinton (although Bill is a symbol more-so than the individual) rose to power, men like me were then kicked to the curb, and pretty much sent to Limbo (and sometimes Red-Baited.)
Because we cannot play 'red team' to deregulation, every single deregulation happened at once, which pretty much blew up the World Order into a fucking catastrophe, thus threatening everything that's been achieved from the Cold War.
Now, we are in the worst spot. The men who know what to do have no where to go, while the men who don't know what to do are telling us where to go.

I'm skimming around a little.
Credit Cards seem to originate in the 1970s for the masses.
Prior to this you probably don't see payday loans, credit cards, easy credit, and advertising that hooks people on spending money they don't have (Money Creation through Credit).
The fallacy of creating money through debt instead of labor is never addressed.
The US Economic and Cultural Paradigm Shift from working for what you want and resisting advertisements and propaganda... somehow were hidden.
Patriarchy is leadership.
Patriarchy has responsibility for Politics, Corporate Leadership, and Education... as well as the third or forth estate.
Regulations?
Wow, no word yet from FTC or Television and Radio Patriarchy.
You can see your sins on TV or Radio.
- US Consumer Economy is nothing of the kind
- US Economy is Debt Economy which historically means debt slavery and less freedom of speech and democracy
The fallacy of creating money through debt instead of labor is never addressed.
Usury as a policy is never addressed.
Leaking money from the US Economy... which could have been reinvested in the US Economy to stimulate the economy or save the Economy from Recessions/Depressions are never addressed.
Fuck.
The things that benefit Facebook or Apple or Google... or Warren Buffet... are never addressed for the "Worker".
>>66793437
Yes. Since Wages were stagnant, and credit was cheap, the natural solution was to give Americans more debt to purchase goods. We continued to do so, up until the debts grew too much, leading to the 2007-8 clusterfuck.
I mean, the rabbit hole goes so deep, I keep silent about somethings, because I'll be misunderstood.
Labor doesn't create money, though, Credit creates money through fractional reserve banking.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fractional-reserve_banking
Like you, I'm forced to be an auto-diidact (not by choice,) but I would focus more on the fundamentals before looking at the big picture.
The big picture is much more complicated, because there are new things that are emerging that we haven't even named.
>>66793437
Immigration was also supposed to improve consumer spending. But surprise, surprise, increased government costs combined with ethnic strife and low employability means that it didn't quite pan out as hoped.

When we are willing to consider massive sweeping reforms... it is entering the unknown.
The new system could be conservative... or could be revolutionary.
Personally my sense of trends in that if we have high income earners in the stratosphere... that means many people won't work, won't have purpose, won't earn a living through sales.
If we can control the outsized earnings of those at the top of the economy... money can become a utility that serves all people and ... and... and serves to incentivize people to excel.
Incentives to excel is a big topic.
- power
- status
- titles
- lands (grants by the authority for lands)
- accolades (public recognition)
Seems to start a list of motivations for new citizens in a new society.
You know the powers that be... don't want to grant lands any more. People are more useful if they have no permanent title or status... if they can be smeared... if they can be brought down... if they can be subject to politics and accusations...

Whether by intent or idiocy, this is a suicidal position for the wealthy.
That is, in fact, why people support Communism. It isn't inequality, but the lack of ownership, which makes people tolerate large government.
>"I could never have enough money to own any farm in the first place."

It's absolutely fucking mindboggling why we are letting this happen. When I'm in my 40s, I'll be spending the rest of my lifetime dealing with Collectivization urges from the masses. People who own shit tend to be Right-Wing, rich or poor, while people who own nothing tend to be Left Wing.

Black Market Labor and Consumption is hard to track. But I would guess that Black Market Consumption by Illegals or Legal VISA holders was good enough in all years identified.

This is what I don't understand, the elites know the outcomes of importing third worlds into advanced stagnating socialist economies, they can just see the data of extremely high welfare dependence, and low labor force participation
They know for every immigrant that enters, the financial burden increases and the white population grows distrusting, and apathetic. national trust and pride are eroded rapidly and the financial position of the government gets really bad really fast
Jesus fucking Christ look at Brazil, that is the biggest genetic shit mixing pot in the world AND THEIR ECONOMY IS CURRENTLY IN COMPLETE FREE FALL AND THEIR ENTIRE GOVERNMENT IS FALLING APART
The US will look like Brazil in 60 years

Reality is too painful for our leadership. Even if I believe all men are equal under the law, not all men are crated equal. They are doing this because they deny the relevant information necessary to make immigration work. The 'globalists (for lack of a better term) don't have the stomach to bring about their society.

Common Law.
The First Law of the USA.
Common Law is under attack.
This is Property Law, remember 9/10ths of the law is property law?
Now, they take cash, property under confiscation law for drugs or terrorism.
This is the end.
My only Friend.
This is the end... of common law, property law, and the US Constitution.
USA as a franchise, corporation, or sovereign nation... ended under G.H.W. Bush.

>This is what I don't understand, the elites know the outcomes of importing third worlds into advanced stagnating socialist economies,
They didn't know the outcome, because they actively deny intelligence that could make it work. That's why we fucked up our immigration policy, and practically destroyed the EU.

>Immigration was also supposed to improve consumer spending. But surprise, surprise, increased government costs combined with ethnic strife and low employability means that it didn't quite pan out as hoped.
Well... I was looking back on your statement.
I assume Social Security, Hsospital Expenditures, Health Care, Welfare of Inmmigrants... is captured some place.
I just wonder if I can get access to the data.
Recently heard some guy nail the costs of Immigrants... it was like 60% of new immigrants on welfare (60%-90% maybe).

wtf?
Your heart is large as a pea.
You get that angry look, you look like you are in charge,... and you think your kids respect you? You think your kids feel you know and understand them?
Hey.
Why did we have a union movement in the UK or the USA?
Were there work place abuses by wealthy interest groups?
Were there wealthy interest groups that had captured the federal political process, the state political process, and... even the the regulation of businesses?
Heard of the Camp Town Store, Company Store?
hm...
Heard that we needed Labor Laws in the USA due to abuses?
Hm...
Did federal OSHA rules finally show the need for all states to support worker safety in the USA... even with 1000 years of worker history in Europe to show this? I mean lots of states could have passed worker safety laws and laws for child labor and laws for working hours for children... but the standard was not there.
You never had a good High School education.

1968 - US pop rose above 200K.
- What is the Monetary Leakage?
- What is the Capital Flight
- What is the Brain Drain from US Industry, the many industries like textiles or whatever
- What is the Threat to US as the world Reserve Currency... if we are not providing good stewardship... if we don't deserve the financial ratings... if we have 350% debt to GDP... if we have $62 Trillion in Debt... if we have a Quadrillion in Derivatives in US Dollar Denominations
- $500 Billion in Annual Trade Deficit... comes back in purchases of Federal and State Government Bonds... oh and purchases in property of all kinds
>>66801566
This was the Chart I wanted to post.
Sorry.
>>66803566
now, tell me the retired population, the increase in labor force participation rate among those who are the age to retire, and the average age for getting one's first job.
>>66801566
I didn't mean to post part time way back there.
Here is some other info though.
>>66803889
Good question.
I can't post the Black Market Labor Force Size by Population or Earnings ...
So... I wonder if I can isolate retired population....
>>66803889
Kinda looks like start with 59 Million of the 319 Million... subtract 9 M Disabled, their Dependents 3 M + 2 M, then subtract 6.1 Survivors...
59 - 9 - 5 - 6.1 = 38.9 Million Retired who are not dependents.
I'm thinking this is a pretty good number.
38.9 Million Retired with Social Security.
But there are others who retire with private benefits, private wealth, retirement plans..
Maybe 40 Million is a conservative number of Retired including those younger than social security age.

Thanks.

Great Post in terms of bringing Anons in to discuss.
Wow.
Weirdly the Central BANKS, Bank of International Settlements, World Trade Organization, United Nations, International Monetary Fund, and World Bank...
They set the Interest Rates for Brazil and other Devloping Countries.
Plus... their bank members who loan money to the developing countries are "Extracting Wealth" or "Currency" from that developing nation...
hm...
The money needed to restart or kick start the developing economy... is extracted to Western Banks.
hm...
Like:
- Argentine
- Venezuela
- Equador
- Chile'
- Peru
- Brazil
- Whatever
>>66808947
>What does all of this info tell us?
I think you get it.
We have to question the basics of all assuptions.
- Fiat Money
- World Reserve Currencies
- Debt Based Money
- Labor Based Money
- Usury across all sectors (from households, thru all corporations, thru schools and governments, to banking and federal funding)
- utility of Money
- Public versus Private Banking
- Usury Fees, Interest Rate Schemes, many kinds of Loans that are predatory
- How do we Finance Public Works, Roads, Bridges, highways, Dams, ports, Parks, Monuments, parking... utilities
- Are Utilities still best managed by Public Funding, Support, Regulation, Management, and.... what else should be managed as a Utility if that is the way to protect the commons
What are the hard issues?
- Central Banking
- Powers of TBTF Banks, Wall Street Banks,... Charters of banks, and visbility of where the most money in the economy is created... how should that power be regulated and controlled... how should the biggest power of the economy to create money be controlled, monitored, regulated, and suppressed?
What else?
How do we Control, Regulate, Monitor, and suppress the Private Central Bank Corporation who prefer bailouts to free markets and business destruction?

The thing is that immigration can work, quite successfully, regardless of even the "muh bell curve.' But it's a process that takes tremendous forethought and skill to implement.
Politics done Pre-45 was much more capable, because we didn't hog tie ourselves with Dawkins-style autism in our politics.
So during World War 1, when we had a massive German population, which could've complicated our war effort, we took measures to ensure that we would solve the issue.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Americanization_(immigration)
We couldn't pull this off today because liberals. (To be honest.) But nevertheless, it isn't immigration, even from 'third world' nations that necessarily scares me. It's letting people immigrate into your nation who specifically refuse to renounce Sharia Law, because that's 'mean.'
Likewise, illegal immigration is also pretty terrible. Chances are that an illegal immigrant couldn't actually become a citizen for a reason.
