Big US Corps Should Help Fund US Job Creation and US Debt Reduction(Comments Off)

By exhaustively studying the financial performance in the 2000s Decade of the 30 Dow Industrial companies, the link below presents the case for Big US Multinational Corps, in all fairness, to now step up and help fund desperately-needed, bold US private sector job creation in the near term and a robust US Government Debt Reduction in the medium term and in the long term.

Let Gulf Oil Spill Spark a Bold US Job Creating Economic Recovery(Comments Off)

The US is now in crisis with three monumental problems….the Gulf Oil Spill, Joblessness and the Federal Deficit. My suggestion here is for the country to use the disastrous Gulf Oil Spill as an opportunity to spark a country-wide private sector job creating, fiscally sound economic recovery.

My proposal here is to provide very bold, quick-acting tax incentives to spur country-wide job creation, and to do so while also reducing markedly the heavy US Federal Deficit. My proposal has the Gulf Oil Spill taking the lead by double downing on the tax incentives given to the Region directly impacted by either the Gulf Oil Spill or by Katrina. The resultant substantial property investments in the Gulf, triggered by these strong tax incentives, will speed up both the Gulf clean up and the area’s economic revitalization. Read More

Big Oil Must Reverse Course and Work With the US Government(Comments Off)

Everyone’s very familiar with how BP, Transocean and Halliburton have all acted so irresponsibly in the recent disastrous oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. But I’m not sure that everyone is as familiar with many of the financial specifics of just what was going on with Big Oil during the Bush/Cheney years (2001-2008). Read More
