Soon to be President Kerry was OBVIOUSLY not preaching to the choir
on the Sunday talks TODAY.
Kerry backed the "New Sharon Peace Plan" immediately and without
reservations.
And, lucky for Wall Street, Kerry seems to be serious about balancing
the budget ASAP too.
All of this should be A BIG RELIEF to Mr. Greenspan, who I think will
NOW be very, very "dovish" on interest rates, when he speaks later
this week. Now that a Kerry Presidency seems all but INEVITABLE!
IN SHORT, THIS WAS KERRY, THE KONSERVATIVE!
Appparently, Kerry feels that the Anti-Bushies are so firm, that he
can now reach out to the conservative and Bubba voters.
Bad news for Dubya, who had a very bad week.
Even Fox News admitted that his "news conference" was a disaster!
AND, WILL THE WALL STREET JOURNAL EVENTUALLY BE FORCED TO ADMIT THAT
DUBYA JUST ISN'T WORKING OUT? I SAY YES!
WILL THE WSJ ENDORSE KERRY FOR PRESIDENT? Hmmmm.....? I think so.
But, don't tell the Journal! I don't think they're ready for this
quite yet.
But they will be as this "Summer of Our Discontent" heats up on every
front.
ONE THING I WOULD LIKE TO SEE KERRY PROPOSE IS:
"PAY TO PLAY FREE TRADE."
UNDER "PAY TO PLAY FREE TRADE," THE US WOULD LEVY A 10% TARIFF ON ALL
GOODS FROM "LOW WAGE COUNTRIES;"
THIS, TO BE EARMARKED, TO PAY FOR NATIONAL HEALTH CARE FOR ALL
AMERICANS.
ANY COUNTRY THAT "RETALIATES" COULD BE TOLD SIMPLY NOT TO LET THE
DOOR HIT THEM ON THE WAY OUT!
THE US CONSUMER MARKET IS A "DREAM" FOR NEARLY ALL OF ASIA AND LATIN
AMERICA.
IN ASIA, LOW WAGES AND HIGH MARGINS ABOUND. SO. WHY NOT LEVY A TARIFF ON THESE LOW WAGE GOODS TO PAY FOR AMERICANS NATIONAL HEALTH INSURANCE?
IT WOULD GO A LONG WAY TOWARD LEVELING THE GLOBAL PLAYING FIELD.
AND IT WOULD BE A BOON TO AMERICAN COMPANIES THAT HAVE BEEN "FAIR"
WITH THEIR OLDER AND CURRENT WORKERS. PROPERLY DONE, IT COULD ALSO
ELIMINATE WORKERS COMPENSATION MEDICAL COSTS AS WELL.
Of course the Editorial Page Idiots at the Wall Street Journal would
have a fit!
But then again, you could argue that the US was doing just fine,
until Mr G started letting Kudlow and Cramer run US monetary policy!
AND IF THE US IS GOING FOR AN "IN YOUR FACE" MIDDLE EAST POLICY?
WHY NOT AN "IN YOUR FACE" FAIR TRADE POLICY?
A TEN PERCENT TARIFF ON ALL LOW WAGE GOODS WOULD GO A LONG WAY
TOWARD "MAKING THINGS RIGHT" WITH THE NEARLY FORGOTTEN AND ANGRY
AMERICAN WORKING CLASS! .......YA THINK?
AND, THIS "KERRY TRADE" GAMBIT WOULD ANSWER A LOT OF QUESTIONS ABOUT
WHERE ALL OF THE NEW MONEY IS GOING TO COME FROM TO TACKLE HEALTH
CARE ISSUES!
LET THE GREEDY "FOREIGNERS" HELP PAY FOR AMERICAN NATIONAL HEALTH
CARE!
NOW THAT'S A "KERRY TRADE" PEOPLE WOULD UNDERSTAND!
