Phony financial reform By John Schroy, on July 17th, 2010 |  2 comments  Unfortunately, instead of a ‘game-changing’ confidence-inspiring reform, the Obama administration presented the United States with the Dodd-Frank Act — a legislative miscarriage that has the potential to hold back recovery and impair the position of New York as a world financial center for decades — unless repealed or drastically amended.

The Dodd-Frank financial reform bill introduced in Title XII, “IMPROVING ACCESS TO MAINSTREAM FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS”, a new, fraud-prone solution to a non-existent problem, the granting of $2,500 loans to middle and low income borrowers. In combination with other political funds, this program could be an extremely powerful tool for voter fraud. In fact, it is difficult to imagine why else it would be inserted into the Dodd-Frank Act.

By John Schroy, on July 17th, 2009 | 3 comments  Foreigners hold $16.8 trillion in US financial assets as a result of selling more goods to Americans than they buy from them. Since the ‘deficit’ is all in dollars, the United States has no problem in ‘paying it off’. One way this ‘deficit’ could ‘go away’ would be for US exporters to sell $16.8 trillion more in goods abroad than Americans import from abroad. Another would be for foreigners to use their dollar balances to buy non-financial assets in the United States, like real estate. Still another way, would be for Congress to engage in deficit spending to a degree that the dollar inflates and becomes worthless. The Obama administration may be moving towards the last alternative.
