After the White House COVID “Winter of Death” messaging was ridiculed and ignored by almost everyone in the general public, the communications team quickly went back to the drawing board.

Why Credit Can Be Greatly Expanded Without Adding to Inflation (Excerpt)
In this short chapter from a pamphlet published by Lyndon LaRouche's National Democratic Policy Committee in 1980 "Why Credit Can Be Greatly Expanded Without Adding to Inflation," Lyndon LaRouche explains why credit, for projects which raise the productive powers of labor, like capital intensive infrastructure projects and funded experiments at the frontiers of science, like the Apollo space program, pay for themselves by transforming the productive potential of the entire economy. They are inherently not inflationary. read more

Heads up: This blog will be on vacation between Christmas and New Year
I've tried hard to post to this blog every day, and mostly multiple times every day, since I started it on January 1, 2008.

I'll start posting again on Sunday, January 2, 2022. During my absence, please amuse yourselves in the archi... read more
