The Debt $12.99 The national bestseller by the author of Defending the Spirit . In this powerful and controversial book, distinguished African-American political leader and thinker Randall Robinson argues for the restoration of the rich history that slavery and segregation severed. Drawing from research and personal experience, he shows that only by reclaiming their lost past and proud heritage can blacks lay the foundation for their future. And white Americans can make reparations for slavery and the century of racial discrimination that followed with monetary restitution, educational programs, and the kinds of equal opportunities that will ensure the social and economic success of all its citizens. In a book that is both an unflinching indictment of past wrongs and an impassioned call to our nation to educate all Americans about the history of Africa and its people, Robinson makes a persuasive case for the debt white America owes blacks, and the debt blacks owe themselves. |

The National Debt $6.99 What, exactly, is the National Debt--and to whom do we owe the money--two trillion dollars worth? That's a pile of one thousand dollar bills 134 miles high, and climbing. Just paying the interest costs is equivalent to the entire federal income tax collected west of the Mississippi.   How did we get into such a fix? This book explains why the government, politicians of both parties, and all the rest of us have delayed putting our house in order; how Reaganomics delivered something very different from what it promised; how one devoted but nevertheless unelected public servant, Chairman Paul Volcker of the Federal Reserve Board, has been left to mind the store; how we turned into a net debtor to the rest of the world; how our economic destiny is increasingly determined by foreigners, and how the world's financial system could shiver around us as a result.   What are the constraints this unimaginable debt imposes on our society, what is the threat it poses to our political stability, and what does it mean to the individual American--not to mention almost everyone else in the world? Debt is a dilemma that will not go away, despite Washington's attempts to persuade us otherwise. At some point something may snap, and this book suggests when that breaking point might come. Lawrence Malkin, one of our most respected economics journalists, has written an eloquent, witty, fact-filled, and provocative treatise on what is becoming the great dilemma of this decade. |

The Budget Deficit and the National Debt $83.02 The Budget Deficit and National Debt analyzes and attempts to better understand the problems associated with the debt and deficit. The theme of this book parallels the Miller Centers primary focus on governance and the presidency. The president is a key actor in submitting, approving, and administrating the budget. Therefore, the study of debt and deficit is in keeping with the Miller Centers focus on governance and the presidency. The book is divided into four sections. The first section discusses the debt and deficit from a variety of political perspectives and ideological approaches. Three contributors, representing different schools of thought and professional backgrounds, provide separate frameworks for considering the budget and deficit. The first section contrasts liberal, conservative, and independent views and compares the effects of the deficit on federal and local governments. The second section provides an overview of the origins and growth of the deficit and its effect on the U.S. economy. The authors outline interaction among and competition between economic and political forces operating in the United States, and they debate the merits of deficit reduction proposals. The third section examines the economic and political ramifications of the deficit, reviewing tactical and strategic errors and their consequences. The book concludes with a discussion of the political struggle over controlling the deficit and chronicles the ambitions and rivalries of two key political figures Bill Clinton and Newt Gingrich. Their dispute over the seven year balancedbudget plan had significant influence on the policies of debt and deficit. Author: Thompson, Kenneth W.

US Economic Jitters Cause Gold to Blaze New Ground by BULLIONUK.COM
US Economic Jitters Cause Gold to Blaze New Ground
Gold has been breaking out recently, driven by global indicators that we are not out of the stormy waters of the 2008 economic crisis. Let's go over just a few of them, all found in the United States.
First, the United States' perfect A-A-A debt rating is in danger. After almost not reaching a deal to increase the debt ceiling and skirting with default, the United States is still not out of the waters. The debt ceiling crisis was a manufactured instance that betrays a long line of problems stemming back far into the past and likely to impact the United States far into the future. Too much money is being borrowed and too little is being raised. You cannot do this forever. It is unsustainable. Investors realise this and it causes certain things, like gold buying, to happen in the global economy.
Then, US consumer spending has dropped for the first time in 20 months. In a consumer driven economy, this is an immensely important fact that has huge implications. It means that, overall, spending is down which means profits are down for all businesses and industries. Industry is dependent on getting that money out of the wallets of civilians. That means less taxable income for the government, which compounds the debt problems.
The US housing markets, too, are reaching lows not seen since 2008 and 2009. Since houses are a huge fraction of the wealth of the average citizen of the United States and, thus, of their nation's overall wealth, this is terrible for the United States. Basically, the largest investment made by the average person is sinking in value and sinking fast. This hurts people and damages the economy.
All of this is driving investors away from US government bonds, US stock markets, and US dollars. Where are they turning? Increasingly, investors are moving their money to safe havens. The Swiss franc has been breaking records against the Euro and the US dollar. However, the most important safe haven right now is gold.
Gold has reached new all time highs relative to the United States dollar. It is very likely that it will continue to go up because there are no workable solutions to the United States' problems. Quantitative easing would temporarily ease the problem, but would drive gold up regardless.
