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.

Did you see the story on CNN or MSNBC last night highlighting that one in six men, ages 25 to 54, do not have a job? Yeah, me either. More and more Americans are waking up. They WANT the truth reported.

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?

Discussed by Derryck Green
with Project 21 (www.NationalCenter.org)

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 to China.

Title: Part 4 of 4
Topic: Economic Crisis
Discussed by Derryck Green
with Project 21 (www.NationalCenter.org)

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.

What will YOU do about it?

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 employment numbers today in America - is it true that we need over 150,000 new jobs per month to keep up with the population growth?

Let's look at true employment figures - is it a given that millions upon millions of Americans have given up looking for a job, therefore don't show up in unemployment figures? Would there be rioting if the total number of citizens without a job was added up?

Title: Inflation Deception
Topic: Economic Crisis
Discussed by Lowell Ponte
with The Great Withdrawal (www.GreatWithdrawal.com)

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.

Part 1 of 2

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.
