(2/18) The Department of Commerce’s Bureau of Economic Analysis reported a 2.1% increase in gross national product or domestic production of goods and services for 2019. It went on to claim the GDP had settled at over 21 trillion dollars in a report that reflected advanced production gains amid finance options closer to consumers and investors at home. There was a current account deficit of exports minus imports plus foreign direct investment balance of about 130 billion dollars that seems linked to speculative fund outflows but could be healthy investments abroad. The trade flows to bank sourcing are now better regulated. While the system works in a recent era of accountable trade dealing the politics remain dangerously detached and could present artificial or self serving caps and redirects to productivity if not better controlled. limited, and accountable.

I’ve written of it often but have to repeat the concern with an older New York guild system that once had underground control authority centered on their bankers who had grant authority for foreign project money. It simply floated favored elites at great cost to potential alternatives which could have produced in conventional markets for investment earnings. If a nation feigns relative wealth parity without any viable advanced export or domestic production facility that’s not externally controlled with partners as Britain, France or Italy its safe to say their leaders were in that gift pattern. They could produce at home more if better focused on the human and material capital and training requirements of the presumed output need but again were bought likely for control of guaranteed earnings.

The issue now is the politics and players who have weathered the divorce of commercial and advanced security apparatus from the traditional politics that were linked to the guild system. It was neutralized amid what amounted to a failed coup d’etat as uncontrolled bank transfers would have led to a major depression here to the domestic economy without repatriation and reverse legislation as Dodd Frank and other repeals.

To projection what seems to differentiate that New York guild from the more formal others to Europe for example, especially German ones which had existed since the reformation is the bank link here and lower profile of action. There’s were more formal and surrender of tax, pricing, export controls simply given. Social control is less apparent there beyond religion as they did gain strength with papacy loss. Here the New Yorkers used better market signals of consumer and producer demand with the advanced banking system making equity or value control and transfers of sales returns linked to the stored capital.

There seemed four pillars of control here relevant to domestic action that included corporate or banking, security to force the dictates, political for legislation links and a relatively new but advanced role for media to include entertainers who had effective decision and power authority that eclipsed any real constitutional understandings. It worked without advanced program intrusion but recently there was bonding anomie as the wealth source to corporate players were taken as given and the programs stalled or started to collapse with cartel like controls and simple theft transfers especially to support Far East projects.
The legacy of the bank money restored to more advanced federal criminal scrutiny rather than just regulators has helped with the GDP advances. The problem that does continue is the social politics and merger of entertainments to relevant media with very similar interests and objectives but without the guns and money that did divorce from the partially failed coup. To digress a bit to theory there’s a political science philosophy that divides the relevant polity into broad understandings of their social versus political and presumed economic orientation roughly combinations of liberal and conservative views and actions in traditional understandings.
Ideally the reflected community would have harmony in both spheres but that is routinely not the case. Very common are social liberals who maintain conservative economic or political stands and that seems the case with much of the current administration. The problem with their dealings are the functions of government suddenly have to support their social preoccupation which really does seem their primary mental interest. There are other combinations that do affect politics my ideal is conservative social with conservative politics and it is a core interest but the community is low key and social link reflects that, though the output strong.
What is relatively rare but found oddly in orthodox religious communities is a conservative social coupled with liberal politics and economics. They’d probably be more consistently conservative conservative but flexibility required to meet market changes is rare as traditional beliefs of culture links are really intransigent to them. The problem now is the bonding as that New York control group still has media and political backing but little equity sourcing as they took the corporate funding control as simply given and it pulled out of them in the coup.
There has to be a merger now of the politics that supports what seem required but limited program shifts to the federal level in system support to the combined objectives of stability and growth. If the current politics are followed that won’t happen as the group lives for “ grandstanding” events that really rattle the host corporate or civil interests but “make a party”. There has to be clarity to objectives and rather than follow easy prescriptions of proven support the political media groups do side with rattle. The deeper bonding to New York went myopic pacifist at most any cost as well. Most want to avoid violence but to simply discount the possibility that type action or group won’t probe in their unique style is again unrealistic if precedent serves to that force of nature. Conventional defense is fairly easy, it just has to be mentally and systemically budgeted. Offenders usually know they’re out of line with a spirited attack and recognize it as too costly with identifiable redress action.

The issue again is the floating party politics and their indiscernible entertainment aspect and player ties as they did weather that bank coup on a government earning. It’s an educated guess as I’m not familiar with the program but in recent years there does seem to have been a supportive split in intelligence that propped the entertainers and selective corporate leaders in presumed commercial popularity or strength that reflected only the groups interests. They had security backing but very recently that side has gone back to its basic function I know of countering serious threats. It includes their compatriots that prop the two pillars of social endeavor to politics and most media. I know I’m with the media but side with the money and security as not really social with them. If you’d met the others you’d see why. They’re really shallow and costly people.

If that presumed and newish intelligence group were openly confronted and simple federal and reflected regional laws were upheld and enforced it seems the tone change to minority group controls would probably just collapse. Market forces that reflect actual consumer interests would better prevail and the political and varied media projection mature to reflect the actual social substructure they spoof at present. False reporting and campaign suggestion of a limited control authority is too costly and perverts the lever function of governing authority. The system was long driving off track.It has been placed soundly on a predictable rail and can only lose if the social control continues amid lack of other accords except spending of resources they didn’t remotely earn.
