The Fed’s Meddling Hasn’t Fixed the Structural Problems in the Economy
Some experts believe the symptoms of another global economic catastrophe have been unequivocally fixed in the rear mirror since 2008.
Thursday, November 29, 2018

Elsewhere, the European Central Bank has continued to suppress interest rates following the debt crisis, which has inflated assets and facilitated the financing of unsustainable government deficits. Italy’s new government has made clear that—against the EU’s warnings—there will be no change to their planned deficit size, locking Rome in a political stalemate with the other member nations. With Italian government debt sitting at over 130 percent of GDP, or about $2.6 trillion, its fellow EU countries are understandably worried that Italy's reckless policies could trigger a debt crisis with the potential to spell the beginning of the end for the EU.

Italy’s Countdown to Fiscal Crisis
Italy's current scheme of piling unfunded government spending on top of an already-huge debt is a recipe for disaster.

So are Italians ready to take my good advice or even the so-so advice of the IMF?

Nope. They just had an election, and the result is a government that wants more red ink.

The Wall Street Journal‘s editorial page is not impressed by the economic agenda of Italy’s putative new government.

Five-Star wants expansive welfare payments for poor Italians, revenues to pay for it not included. Italy’s public debt to GDP, at 132%, is already second-highest in the eurozone behind Greece. Poor Italians need more economic growth to generate job opportunities, not public handouts that discourage work. The League’s promise of a pro-growth 15% flat tax is a far better idea, especially in a country where tax avoidance is rife. The two parties would also reverse the 2011 Monti government pension reforms, which raised the retirement age and moved Italy toward a contribution-based benefit system. …Recent labor-market reforms may also be on the block."

Simply stated, Italy elected free-lunch politicians who promised big tax cuts and big spending increases. I like the first part of that lunch, but the overall meal doesn’t add up in a nation that has a very high debt level.

And I don’t think the government has a very sensible plan to make the numbers work.

…problematic for the rest of Europe are the two parties’ demand for an exemption from the European Union’s 3% GDP cap on annual budget deficits. …the two parties want the European Central Bank to cancel some €250 billion in Italian debt."

‘Ballot Harvesting,’ California Dems’ Latest Election Stealing Tool
Scott Morefield | December 03, 2018

In 2016, California took yet another significant step in its decades-long quest to become the world’s largest banana republic when then-Governor Jerry Brown signed AB 1921, a then-barely-noticed revision to the state’s vote-by-mail procedures.


The change was a small but significant one. California, in its infinite wisdom, decided to make the practice of “ballot harvesting” legal. Thus, instead of only relatives or those living in the same household being allowed to legally collect and turn in absentee ballots for voters - as was previously the law - any “third party” can do it, including activist groups, Democratic operatives, or street-corner panhandlers.
