A letter to Senator John McCain

 A comment on my analysis on the 3rd presidential debate from China

Yes, MaCain did a good job; however, why he didn't get it right from the biginning?

The best statement in this debate is: "If you want to run against Bush, you should have run four years ago!"

Sure enough, Obama keeps labeling McCain to Bush. This is dirty and empty! He kept saying this is 21 first century - his change is empty and can not be excuted; however, it is just like the "Love Taiwan" and "Pin economic".

Unfortunately, McCain wasn't able to knock out Obama like Kennedy or Reagon did. Obama kept blah blah bah; however, his grabbing the stage and kept his mouth running works with people with less intelliggance.

McCaine nailed Obama twice: on ACORN and John Lewis.

Obama shagged both by lying and blah blah blah; however, anybody look at the fact knows that McCain got him:

ACORN is registering a football team in every state: this is election fraud! That's howObama defeated Clinton: she got more vote; however, he bought more super deligate to win! Obama said that he has notmuch to do with ACORD; however, right after debate and before debate, many people pointed out that Obama ave ACORN money: note - he gave, not receive! Those people who are using Santa Clause and Mickey Mouse as voter got paid by Obama. Just like USA is saying: Al Kaida is paying for the insurgants in Iraq to go against America!

As for John Lewis - he is such a loser who is black and is a big joke in black. he is what I remember: John supported Hillery. He even went on media accused Obama's campain using phone system to harras his voter/supporter. When Obama bought enough influance, he jumped from Clinton to Obama. What a smart ass! Now he waged his sword against McCaine and was cought by the media - apparently some dirty tricks everybody dislike.

McCaine had Obama good: the anchor asked "what are the negative things that has been running around and what do YOU say" McCain is a gentleman - he stopped the verterans against Kerry last election - I admire him for that. He just took Lewis out as example and also said: I fix every bit dirty trick first moment on every account both my and my opponest's accusation. Obama did NOTHING! So Obama said: we issued statement, blah blah blah!

Heck! This differance will not affect the election. People already made up their mind. The next two and half weeks is just going to be worse!

If American can not have the intelligance to pick a gentleman over a lyer and his blank check. it is American deserve their foolishness! Unfortunately, American did it in 2000 and 2004. I see there is no differance this round!

Sorry I had to run. Thank ET for the analysis: too late and not enough to save USA and the world - luckily the worl knows how to distance itself from the USA.

Oh: Thank you very much for the nice analysis. UDN webAdmin can only recommand those who copies from the US media - she needs constant pieces of article to fill up her front page - rather garbage than nothing. Thank you for giving out those real pearl - it take time and effortand occassion to produce pearl. She can use those glass marble to fill up her media, sometime, they even use woman breast and naked picture. that's marketing - what can a media do when their money come from how many people read their product - pronography might not be moral; but sure bring in money, right?

謝謝補充。

的確﹐魚目是可以混珠﹔馬坎批奧婆馬『如果要反布希﹐應該在二零零四年競選』﹐是強力一擊﹐他提出"Joe the plumber"﹐更是可圈可點﹐也將成為著名歷史名詞。【當然﹐我不知是否真有此一人﹔老美稱一般市井為"an average Joe"﹐至少是暗諭泛泛小民。】

 

昨晚﹐在我寫完主欄文後﹐才看辯論後名嘴臨場評述。雖多數政評家﹐依然是『立場決定觀點』﹐但似乎無人否認﹐馬坎表現比前兩次好太多。其中﹐有一位年輕的CNBC漂亮女記者Maria Bartiromo﹐評論中肯﹐均發出太公昨夜急件﹐所未能細訴之處﹐實在後生可畏﹐政治及辯論學功力非凡。 

當被問到美國赤字大增﹐如何改善﹖明白具体的說出削減政府支出兩項問題時﹐兩位侯選人好像都沒有準備﹐支支吾吾﹐舌頭打結。難怪紐約時報記者布魯克評說﹐二人均沒有領袖風格。【他一向支持奧婆馬﹐稍後即為奧婆馬平易﹑冷靜作風辯解﹐指出選奧婆馬﹐就沒有鬧劇"Vote for Obama, No Drama"﹔當然﹐他無一詞為馬坎解釋﹐反而取笑馬坎】 

但對這兩項問題﹐事實的確如此﹐兩人表現讓人失望﹔任何有涉及政經的一般人﹐都會比兩人回答的中肯切題。很簡單﹐諴如Maria Bartiromo在指明二者有此缺失時﹐也明言﹐可以用長期短期作法"short fix, long fix"﹐加以說明修理方案﹐會一語中地﹐回答得漂亮。 

當然﹐她也沒明說其詳﹔如太公了解無誤﹐她就是說短期作法﹐可能增加支出﹐長期卻可達成減少赤字目標﹐聽來好像很矛盾﹐她真是有智慧。如果馬坎能在奧婆馬胡言後﹐馬上大話前瞻拍胸脯﹐擔保未來四年任內搞好經濟﹐他會吸引人民傾聽(奧婆馬隨著馬坎的『八年』﹐也隨便說要十年方可)。接著說明在個体經濟觀﹐短期增加支出﹐是難以服人之策﹐但就總体經濟﹐確係如此正當﹔如果馬坎能再引用老美常說的俗語﹕"Before it gets better, it will get worse"﹐就會很有說服力。

唉﹗事尚不遲﹐只是誠如Maria Bartiromo所言﹐馬坎此次辯論﹐仍然無法達成『與民掛鉤』(connect to the people and make them understand)的目標。【註﹕讓B女士瞧瞧太公的"AIP"﹐她一定會有大悟﹐擊掌叫好焉。太公沒胡說﹐最近三四天﹐方見老美媒体﹐隨著破筍轉向﹐也開始注意到當前美國經濟真正的病因﹔現在他們方才開始有悟﹖真是慢半拍喔﹗半年前﹐太公已經告訴太婆﹐病因何所在。在此﹐給國人一個引子﹕任何受過國民黨三民主義教育者﹐應該知道共產主義最大的經濟失敗敗因﹐在於重視供給面﹐忽視需求面﹔換言之﹐華爾街沒讀三民主義﹐過去兩年來的策略﹐寵『』(共﹖)非『』。伊娘列﹗不能怪他們老美﹐但是台灣人不懂﹐那沒有藉口託詞﹔懂了嗎﹖未來報導﹐會逐日加強﹐重視看待需求面﹐不信乎﹖咱們走著瞧瞧太公臭屁。】

簡易的口號(要太公錦囊乎﹖很簡單口號﹐不成敬意﹐只有五字訣"CFPTB")﹐是馬坎未來二週半﹐在眾叛親離時(太公有據﹐但不願作此類貼文)要『起死回生』的唯一寄望。但﹐馬坎有嗎﹖

About half hour ago this morning, my local FM 91.3 "AP radio news" reported that Paulson FINALLY confessed they made mistakes in taking care of recent financial difficulties.  So don't blame Alan Greenspan.

Paulson said "I am sorry."  But exactly what are the mistakes Bush Administration made?  At the moment, I can't find any paper report on internet.  But, I don't expect any detail will be provided by Paulson.

However, I am sure that Paulson knows now that they forgot the basic of the science of Economics.   There are always two sides of an activity: supply and demand.  They used to look highly at "supply" side, such as supply of credit of business (so-called "liquidity").  They look down at "demand" side from the bottom. 

History tells us that's the major mistake for a communist economy to fail.  Now they finally realized what went wrong.  Lucky we are, it is not too late.  Paulson is getting back to the right track, even somehow not exactly to the point.  It will help!

So my fellow agent, do expect the influx of a lot of new REO coming up unto the market and prepare yourself to sell and make money.

Paulson regrets mistakes on economy

WASHINGTON - Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson on Thursday expressed regret for the many errors made that led to the biggest financial crisis in seven decades, but he insisted the administration is pursuing the correct course now to end the debacle.

"We're not proud of all the mistakes that were made by many different people, different parties, failures of our regulatory system, failures of market discipline that got us here," Paulson said in an interview on Fox Business Network.

....

But he said he had "no regrets" about the steps the government is taking now to address the problem.

Paulson said Thursday that the program's emphasis was changed after the legislation passed when market developments showed how critical it was to quickly shore up bank balance sheets with fresh capital. He said government was still moving ahead with the program to buy bad assets and the administration has allocated $100 billion for that portion of the program.

"This program is for banks and thrifts," he said, adding later, "Right now, we're focused on financial institutions that are regulated financial institutions."

You are welcome!

I have been silently reading your blog for years, and I am happy to contribute even a little bit.

Like you said, as long as "Joe Plumber" reflects the situation many average Americans are in, whether this is a ploy or not is irrelevant.

But, as you can see from the CNN article, it is difficult to tell who would fit into Joe Plumber's shoes due to the complexity of federal/state tax laws.

On a side note, I feel McCain was out of touch with reality when he picked $250,000 as the number. Average American households make way less than that.

On several big issues, McCain almost hit the bull's eye, but all fell short.

I am totoally with you.

Per statistics, only about 10% (note: correctly 17.8%) of American household make more than $100,000.  (NOTE: top 10% earn $118K as the table below.)  That's my impression.  I will go check it out for you.  Therefore, McCain is out of touch of the people.  I don't blame him since he divorced his ill wife and married Cindy, the rich girl of rich family and has no idea of how an average Joe lives.

Cindy McCain reports $4.2 million in 2007 income

American society is notorious in making things so complex that no simple norm or value exists. (NOTE: you may call it "fine print" to erase or take back what they promised.  If you still don't see it, just look at what happen in the Wall Street the past 15 days.  Ask youself if there is a good order of market for you to make "buy" or "sell"?  Where is the certainty of normal rules you can have to invest prudently, let alone fairness?  No wonder you see a huge swing.  Who created this financial chaos or turnoil, without a definte game rule?)  The system is just as a recent movie ads TV spot said: "There is only one rule for the game, that is, there is no rule."  Got the idea?

A civilization is based on "trust" and "confidence" that make it so different from a barbarian one.  But, look around, where is the trust or confidence?   Do we have a simple morality to guide our behaviors?  Sorry, I have to say all the lawyers would lose their jobs if we do.   Look at Japan, there is no one lawyer for a town with 50,000 population.  (you can check internet by "Japanese lawyer")  And look at American society, how many attorneys are there we have to support?  Tell you that Ten Thousand Times per capita.

Well, I believe in nature and "simple is beauty" that is just the opposite to the American system, no matter what it is, say, political, economic, court or financial.

Bailout plan is basically a tool to serve the rich.  It almost does nothing to the poor or even the working class.  (NOTE: both two parties' candidates are talking about "middle class," but it is NOT the half bottom wroking class)  If you don't believe me, go check this link: Corporate governance takes back seat in bailouts.  Why it seems most people take it for granted "two or more" low paid jobs for a person; and ignore the real voice or forget the misery of the bottome 50% American household living under poverty?  Simply as Michael Zweig said, they don't have much political muscle organized as those lobbyists in DC. 

誠乃咱中國人說的偷天換日﹑上有政策下有對策﹐苦的是一般百姓也。

ps. I found the data: only 10% of all U.S. households make more than $118,000 a year:

Thank you.

Immediately after the debate was over, I wrote my article of what I felt.  I really have no idea at the time.

I know it now.   His real first name is not Joe, even his 2nd first name is Joseph.  3 days ago, McCain's people contacted him for some arrangements, they should know that his real first name and his plumber license, at least; or he owed property tax of $1180 or his income less than $250,000.  

Some Obama supporters called it a ploy, at least a question of Joe's credibility.   I don't believe it is a conspiracy.   But, I believe, the major reason for Mr. McCain call him "Joe" and use him as an example is to simply have an easy implication he is an ordinary Mr. Joe on the Main street.

Thank you again, my friend.

Guest Blogger: Michael Zweig's Proposal for Economic Stimulus

A totalitarian or communist regime makes its mandates based on the few "elites" in which an order is given from the top to the bottom.   Is it true a democracy has its policies coming the opposite way, from the bottom to top?

Here Prof. Zweig has a "Check" plan that designs to directly give money to those "invisible" bottom household.   I have never read his books and don't know if I agree with his plans or viewpoints.  I may not like his "class" orientation.  But, clearly, I have to agree that we have some agreed perspective on American society.

At one point, we happen to share the same conclusion: give money DIRECTLY to the most needed working class or the most less-fortunate poor (I hate to use "forgotten" or "distressed" ) to revitalize American economy.  

To stop the recent crisis immediately and to help cure the whole system in the forseeable future, it is the most effective mean under the current situation, I believe.  

---This is what I felt after it is reported this morning that GWB plans to have a world summit to solve the crisis.  What a waste it is for him to do as he has done to give us Paulson's plan!
