Massenfinanzierung für Krieg, während es Armut zu Hause gibt
Sonntag, den 25. Mai 2008
Der „einzige Superpower der Welt“ ist, also brach es kann nicht seine eigenen Kriege sogar finanzieren. Jeder zusätzliche Dollar, den das unverantwortliche Bush Regime von den Ausländern erbitten muß, übt abwärtser Druck auf dem Wert des Dollars aus. Während der acht vergeudet und der extravagant Jahre des Bush Regimes, sobald mächtiger US Dollar ungefähr 60% seines Wertes gegen den Euro verloren hat. Der Dollar hat sogar von seinem Wert gegen Gold und öl verloren. Bevor Bush seine Angriffskriege anfing, war öl $25 ein Faß. Heute ist es $130 ein Faß. Etwas von diesem Aufstieg können aus Durchgehenbetrachtung im Termingeschäft resultieren. Jedoch ist die Hauptursache der abfressende Wert des Dollars. Öl ist real und anders als Papierdollar wird im Versorgungsmaterial begrenzt. Mit US massivem Handel und Haushaltsdefiziten der Erguß der Dollarverpflichtungen Einfassungen, so fahrend hinunter den Wert des Dollars. Jedesmal wenn der Dollarpreis des öls steigt, steigt das US Handelsdefizit und erfordert fremdere Finanzierung des US Energiegebrauches. Bush hat gehandhabt, die US öl-Importrechnung oben von $106 Milliarde 2006 bis ungefähr $500 Milliarde zu fahren 18 Monate spät-jeder Dollar, von dem von den Ausländern finanziert werden muß. Ohne Devisen können die US „Superpower“ nicht seine Importe oder Betrieb seiner Regierung finanzieren. Wenn der ölpreis steigt, können Amerikaner, die in zunehmendem Maße arm sind, nicht ihre Winterheizung Wechsel einlösen. So enthält die militärische Rechnung Ausgabe des Senats mehr Heizung Beihilfe für Amerikas wachsende Legion der armen Leute. Der steigende Preis von Energie fährt herauf den Preis des Produzierens und des Transportierens aller Waren, aber amerikanische Einkommen steigen nicht außer dem extrem reichen. The disappearing value of the US dollar, which pushes up oil prices and raises the trade deficit, then pushes up heating subsidies and raises the budget deficit. If oil was the reason Bush invaded Iraq, the plan obviously backfired. Oil not merely doubled or tripled in price but quintupled. America’s political leaders either have no awareness that Bush’s wars are destroying our country’s economic position and permanently lowering the living standards of Americans or they do not care. McCain says he can win the war in Iraq in five more years and in the meantime “challenge” Russia and China. Hillary says she will “obliterate” Iran. Obama can’t make up his mind if he is for war or against it. The Bush Regime’s inability to pay the bills it is piling up for Americans means that future US governments will cut promised benefits and further impoverish the people. Over a year ago The Nation reported that the Bush Regime is shedding veteran costs by attributing consequences of serious war wounds to “personality disorders” in order to deny soldiers promised benefits. Previous presidents reduced promised Social Security benefits by taxing the benefits (a tax on a tax) and by rigging the cost of living adjustment to understate inflation. Future presidents will have to seize private pensions in order to make minimal Social Security payments. Currently the desperate Bush Regime is trying to cut Medicaid health care for the poor and disabled. The Republican Party is willing to fund war, but sees everything else as an extravagance. The neoconized war party is destroying the economic prospects of American citizens. Is “war abroad and poverty at home” the Republican campaign slogan for the November election?
