Title: America has A Booming Economy – And Nobody Cares
Topic: Economic Crisis
Discussed by John Horvat
with Return to Order www.ReturnToOrder.org
The labor market is tight as employers scramble to find workers. Too many jobs are chasing too few workers.
John Horvat, the author of “Return to Order”, discusses the current American economic crisis and some solutions.
Click
here to read more on this topic from John Horvat.
Questions/Issues Discussed:
Is the American economy booming? How many job openings are currently available? How many people are actively seeking those jobs? John Horvat explains that while the unemployment rate may “seem” low, the sad fact is that too many people just aren’t trying anymore.
Are a vast number of Americans simply not interested in participating in the work force?
Are economists concerned about the vast number of able-bodied men simply refusing to work? Why don’t they have a will to work? What are they doing with their time, if not working? John says: “They’re watching TV and playing video games. They’re not doing anything, really.”
Are the wrong incentives being used? John discusses how those “incentives” meant to help in the short-term are now being used by too many people as a means to live in the long-term.
When able-bodied men drop out of the work force, they tend to also drop out of society. How does this affect our economy?
FACT: Once people are paid to do nothing, it is difficult to get them working again. Where do we go from here?

Title: Unintended Consequences of the Actions of Our Government
Topic: Economic Crisis
Discussed by Shelby Sterling
with Texas Public Policy Foundation (www.TexasPolicy.com)
Do endless government-imposed lockdowns have very real – and very
negative – effects on Americans?
Shelby Sterling says absolutely yes! Shelby is a Policy Analyst with the Texas
Public Policy Foundation. She states: “Although extensive data analysis
proving the full extent of damage resulting from these lockdowns may take years,
evidence from just the last nine months already paints a gruesome picture.”
Click
here for more from Shelby and the TPPF.
Questions/Issues Discussed:
Does history teach us that disasters have devastating effects on an individual’s
mental health? Can lockdowns also effect a person’s physical health?
Is there mounting evidence that government shutdowns have many negative
consequences?
English researches predicted millions upon millions of deaths due to COVID-19
just in the first few months. Were the lockdowns premised on these cataclysmic
numbers? Were those numbers realized? Shelby explains that we may never know the
true toll that lockdowns had on people’s physical and mental health.
How should the Texas Legislature respond to how local, county, and statewide
elected officials reacted since January 2020?

Title: About Those Jobs Numbers….
Topic: Economic Crisis
Discussed by Derryck Green
with Project 21 (www.NationalCenter.org)
If you believe Obama and his
buddies, the economy is doing fabulously! However, the sad reality is that more
and more American citizens are without a job, or they are working only
part-time. Derryck Green, with Project 21, discusses the actual GDP (Gross
Domestic Product). Listen in as Derryck explains the GDP and shares just how
dismal the real figures actually are.
The MSM likes to report week after week after week on the “new” jobs that were
created. Well, this number is misleading, too! (Surprise! Surprise!) Very few
people are actually finding new, full-time jobs with benefits and a decent
salary. Most are low-paying, part-time jobs. Many are just flat giving up hope
and decide to drop out of the work-force completely.
Derryck Green says its past time Obama take the blame for the current state of
the economy. He needs to stop blaming Bush. Obama has had plenty of time to fix
things and he is just making it worse.
Listen in as Derryck Green gives a short, easy-to-understand economics lesson.
He also poses this question: “Over the next several years, are they going to
actually support policies that help rather than policies that are emotionally
gratifying?” You can find Derryck and others at Project 21 [here].
TRIVIA: Do you know how many people in America are actually unemployed? Hint:
It’s almost 100,000,000 (100 Million) people.

Title: Prepare for an Economic Storm
Topic: Economic Crisis
Discussed by John Horvat
with Return to Order www.ReturnToOrder.org
Part 1 of 2
America is in dire need of a course adjustment. Author John Horvat
says, “Our economy and culture is like a cruise ship. Everything might seem
ok. We’re told not to worry. But there’s a storm on the horizon and we need to
prepare now.”
Millions and millions of Americans have lost their jobs in recent years and are
working part-time or for less money at a full-time job. Every person working in
the oil and gas industry is praying hard every day that they still have a job
when they get to work. John says we all must be prepared for even more
hardships.
Our country is deep, deep, deeply in debt, specifically to China. Hell will
freeze over – twice! – before the Chinese government forgives our debts to them.
In fact, the interest rate alone is going to put under! Listen in as John Horvat,
author of “Return to Order”, explains some of our social and economic woes and
why he believes things are only going to get worse.

Title: Part 2 of 2 - Prepare for an Economic Storm
Topic: Economic Crisis
Discussed by John Horvat
with Return to Order www.ReturnToOrder.org
Should we just sell all our
belongings, find a nice cave in the mountains, live off the land, and just wait
for the Second Coming? If we’re doomed anyway, why not just stay away from it
all?
John Horvat says that it definitely NOT the answer. We need to recognize that a
storm is on the horizon and work together to bring our country back to
greatness. John sites Princeton’s Prof. Sherry Turkle’s “Top Five Reasons
Americans are Lonely and Insecure”: 1) People work too much, 2) Kids are too
busy to enjoy being kids, and 3) People move away from their hometown.
Listen in as author John Horvat describes the last two reasons. You can find
the article [HERE].
We need people who will stay in the war against evil, not give up after one
battle. It doesn’t matter if you win or lose the battle, there are more to be
fought. The other side is engaged, spending money, and winning battles. We must
be more organized, spend more money, and fight till we have no fight left and
then fight some more.

Title: Crimea's Economic Fallout on US
Topic: Economic Crisis
Discussed by Lowell Ponte
with The Great Withdrawal (www.GreatWithdrawal.com)
Tremors from the earthshaking Russian-US Confrontation over Crimea are now
revealing just how vulnerable our banking system and economy are to collapse.
While President Barack Obama was threatening to seize Russia's assets in the US,
Russian President Vladimir Putin was way ahead of him. Putin was apparently
successfully in withdrawing $105.1 Billion in US Treasury Notes that Russia had
deposited with the US Federal Reserve.
This far-away crisis has greatly increased the threat to ordinary savers in the
United States and worldwide.

Title: Enough Already!
Topic: Economic Crisis
Discussed by Derryck Green
with Project 21 (www.NationalCenter.org)
Part 1 of 4
I am fed up. Millions of Americans are fed up. Guest Derryck Green is fed up.
He said “I don’t know how Obama does it. How can one preside over millions of
people out of work, the increasing number of people living in poverty, and dance
around the fact that the economy could be on the verge of contracting in a very
big way and still - after five years - not being held responsible? It’s quite an
act.”
Is the President blind or just a really, really good actor?

If today’s unemployment report
is any indication, the White House must be like an asylum. All of that
regulation, taxation, and spending has done little to get many people the jobs
they need. People want to work - its Obama’s economy that’s stopping them.
The month of March had some interesting job report calculations, specifically
the “U-6 Figures”….Derryck Green discusses this and the future.

Public participation
in the SNAP Program (previously known as food stamps) has increased considerably
since 2008. The almighty dollar is losing its power. Poverty is
hitting everyone - even the wealthy. The number of people receiving federal
disability is through the roof.
Pretty soon, we’re going to run out of money completely. And then we’ll belong

The White House has
closed public tours, except to “special groups”; spent more than $1 BILLION on
green energy projects; has given Egypt (aka the Radical Muslim Brotherhood) $250
MILLION in aid; played golf with Tiger Woods; and has increased the national
debt to over $17 TRILLION.
Does the President even care that women, minorities, and youth are being spat
upon during this current economic crisis? The physically and mentally challenged
go without needed care and medicine every day so the First Lady can “shake it”
on David Letterman. Children in our own country, communities, and even just down
the street will go to bed hungry tonight, yet we send millions and millions of
dollars to foreign countries that hate us. Hundreds of young, troubled teens
will be entranced into the sex slave industry this week and might never see
their families again.

The numbers don’t lie. But the MSM does.
It makes me sick that the MSM feeds these lies to innocent Americans and they are believed! When the economy was “supposedly” turning around in 2009, the number of people not in the labor force was nearly 8 million LESS than the latest numbers released in November 2012. I’m a college graduate and I’m pretty good at math, but how is this better? What am I missing?

Let's look at true employment figures - is it a given that millions upon

Title: Inflation Deception
Topic: Economic Crisis
Discussed by Lowell Ponte

Part 1 of 2
Big government must
be stopped. It’s getting out of control. Actually, it’s been out
of control for a while now. But wait, there’s hope! Obama’s friends say the new
proposed tax will only affect millionaires! Oh, but that’s what they said about
the other ones too.
Author Lowell Ponte says most Americans are actually millionaires, but we just
don’t know it because of all the money we give to the government! America has
turned from a democracy to a “Inflatocracy”: a new form of government of, by,
and for inflation; government that deliberately debases its paper money for
social engineering, mind manipulation, wealth redistribution, secret taxation,
and seizing more power.

Is supply and demand really to blame for America’s - not to mention the world’s - economic crisis? As an economist, Dr. Mark Hendrickson believes that one reason food and fuel prices are skyrocketing is due to the Obama administration openly admitting that we must raise the prices of the goods in order for the economy to get back on track.
