Goldman Sachs Predicts Stronger Economy Under Harris

Goldman Sachs, or Government Sachs as they are known in the industry, has bet on the establishment candidate. The person who has already spent four years in the White House will somehow repair the damage they caused to the US economy, according to Goldman Sachs, who strongly believes America should stay on the same losing trajectory.

We estimate that if Trump wins in a sweep or with divided government, the hit to growth from tariffs and tighter immigration policy would outweigh the positive fiscal impulse” from maintaining most tax cuts, Goldman economists stated. Remember that Goldman Sachs places their employees within the US government as there is an ongoing revolving door. “We estimate that the contribution from immigration to labor force growth if Harris wins would be 10,000 per month higher than if Trump wins with divided government,” and 30,000 a month higher than if Trump secures the vote.

America has spent billions on the migrant crisis which has toppled state and city budgets. We have over 8 million newcomers now living solely off government assistance. Goldman is preaching the same propaganda that these migrants are needed for America’s workforce, despite recent data showing a major slow in hiring in addition to numerous adjusted jobs reports that show NO new jobs have been created outside the public sector under Biden-Harris. They believe GDP would peak by 0.5 percentage points in Q2 of 2025 under a Trump victory.

A Harris victory would lead to a “very slight” boost in GDP compared to Trump, as “new spending and expanded middle-income tax credits would slightly more than offset lower investment due to higher corporate tax rates.” The “experts” believe that “the effects of policy changes would be small and neutral on net,” but the truth of the matter is that a Harris victory would guarantee a major economic downturn. It is astonishing that they expect the public to believe that the middle class will increase their spending through tax credits. They simply do not understand that a lack of confidence is the reason that people hoard, and under this economy, the middle class does not have any disposable income to spend.

Then they state that Trump’s tariffs on China, Mexico, and EU would cause inflation to rise by 30 to 40 bps. I do not support tariffs but we are seeing the Biden Administration slam China with new tariffs and one could reasonably believe Kamala would do the same. Do they understand Kamala’s corporate tax hike proposition and how that would decimate America’s ability to compete?

Harris is proposing taxing capital gains including UNREALIZED gains. The American public has nothing left to offer Uncle Sam and rest assured Harris will raise taxes as her countless spending packages come at a price. Goldman Sachs completely failed to consider the impact government spending has had on the overall economy.

Most importantly, Government Sachs did not factor in the strongest driver of inflation – WAR. War produces nothing and will not lead to an economic increase. Kamala Harris along with Joe Biden helped America become completely embedded in Ukraine and now Israel. Trump is the only candidate who wants to stop sending endless checks to Ukraine and end the war.

These reports are meant to mislead the public and are nothing more than establishment propaganda.

Prisons Collaborate with the Private Sector – Free Labor


Posted originally on Sep 6, 2024 By Martin Armstrong 

Slavery is alive and well in the United States. Two-thirds of US prisoners, 800,000 men and women, have jobs in federal and state prisons. While 80% of prisoners work to maintain the prison in terms of maintenance, a growing portion of prisoners hold jobs for private companies. Estimates that that these prisoners are producing at least $11 billion annually for the US government and receiving little to nothing in return.

Non-industry workers can earn between 13 cents to 52 cents per hour. Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Mississippi, South Carolina and Texas are not required to pay these workers. “There’s no way we can take care of our facilities, our roads, our ditches, if we didn’t have inmate labor,” Warren Yeager, a former Gulf county, Florida, commissioner said to the Florida Times-Union. In other words, states have become reliant on free labor from prisoners and actively put this into their budgets.

What some do not understand is that private companies are also employing prisoners. McDonald’s, Burger King, Golden Corral, Walmart, Wendy’s, IBM, Boeing, Motorola, Microsoft, AT&T, Texas Instruments, Dell, Compaq, Honeywell, Hewlett-Packard, Intel, TWA, Nordstrom’s, Revlon, Macy’s, and Target are among hundreds of private companies that have active agreements with state governments to farm out their prisoners. The private companies pay the prisons directly, bypassing the people who are forced to work long hours with no protections.

These workers have a far lower rate at being released on parole. The state believes they are safe enough to work among the public, but refuse to offer them an opportunity to leave. Only non-violent offenders are offered these jobs and most are swindled into accepting the positions to obtain favorable housing.

Alabama, for example, allows non-violent prisoners to work in the private sector for pennies. Yet, the state takes away 40% of their pay before taxes, charges them fees for transportation, laundry, and any extras they find. Alabama now earns more than $450 million annually on the backs of these workers.  It comes at no surprise that the parole rate in Alabama plummeted to 8% in 2023.

Prison Camp

American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) found that over 75% of workers are unable to take off work, and if they do, they risk being sentenced to solitary confinement and prevented from visitations with their families. About 70% of these workers said they cannot even afford to call home or purchase soap. They are denied all rights and treated as sub-humans. “The United States has a long, problematic history of using incarcerated workers as a source of cheap labor and to subsidize the costs of our bloated prison system,” said Turner, a principal human rights researcher with the ACLU’s Human Rights Program.

“The private contracting of prisoners for work fosters incentives to lock people up. Prisons depend on this incomeCorporate stockholders who make money off prisoners’ work lobby for longer sentences, in order to expand their workforce. The system feeds itself,” notes a study study by the Progressive Labor Party, which accuses the US prison complex of being “an imitation of Nazi Germany with respect to forced slave labor and concentration camps.”

Private prisons, in general, operate as businesses as they are guaranteed a fee per inmate, which US taxpayers pay. The majority of people are African American and Hispanic, but we hear silence from communities demanding reparations and failing to acknowledge that modern-day slavery is alive and well in the US. The private sector is creating jobs for the prison industry on behalf of the US government and this is one of the reasons that we see a decline in available jobs. The business is extremely lucrative because they profit on holding the inmates as well as forcing them to work.

So, these human beings were deemed stable enough to work unsupervised with the public. Yet, those same decision-makers turn around at sentencing and tell these workers that they are simply too dangerous to return home. This is why the United States, home of the free, hosts the largest prison population in the world. It always comes down to greed and money.

Ukraine Shoots Down Its Own F16


Posted originally on Aug 31, 2024 By Martin Armstrong 

2024_08_31_09_45_20_Zelenskyy_Dismisses_Ukrainian_Air_Force_Chief_After_Deadly_F_16_Crash_The_Epoc

From all my sources, Zelensky is just an absolute piece of shit, and that gives a shit a bad name. He responded to criticism that Ukraine shot down its own F16 by firing the head of the Ukrainian Air Force. How dare he blame Ukraine and criticize Ukraine’s air defense for shooting down their F16 in “friendly fire.” Zelensky has refused to admit anything. All the sources say it was a friendly fire. The Russians would have made a big deal out of it if they shot it down. So the F16 just crashed for no reason? Zelensky refused even to explain his reasoning.

He also fired his major military commander for criticizing him. This is a character pattern that Zelensky displays. He is always trying to project himself as a great military leader.

2024_08_31_10_24_34_Volodymyr_Zelensky_calls_for_global_plan_to_rebuild_Ukraine_after_war

As I have said before, if he is assassinated, it will be by Ukrainians. That’s why his real bodyguards are Americans – he does not trust Ukrainians, who, I have been told, if he were on fire, would not urinate on him until he was dead. He has created his own dictatorship prohibiting elections as long as the war continues. Yet, he is fighting for democracy and freedom? Zelensky cheers the destruction of Ukraine. He is pitching to spend trillions to rebuild Ukraine, telling everyone this will be the greatest European Investment of the century. The smart Ukrainians have opened their eyes to the fact that he is just a profiteer.

He instigated the war. The day before, to ensure that Putin would cross the border, he stood up and declared that Ukraine would rearm with nuclear weapons. He knew that would force Putin to come in just as the US had to respond to Cuba.

Zelensky Did not warn people Washington Post 8 19 22

Worse still, he had the intelligence from the Americans and knew when Putin would enter. He admitted to the Washington Post that he did NOT warn the people because it would have cost him $7 billion. He wanted as many civilians to be killed as possible so he could claim Russia is evil and the invasion was UNPROVOKED, which the left-wing press keeps reporting because they love war and will cheer when Americans come back in body bags. CNN will return to the ratings they once had with the Gulf War.

Zelensky is all about the show. How dare the head of the Air Force admit the truth? How will Zelensky keep the billions flowing if the West realizes it is not competent to handle the weapons we provide?

The fools on Capitol Hill wanted to put a marble bust of Zelensky alongside George Washington. At least they would not throw Washington in the garbage – not yet, maybe after the election. The conservatives were outraged over this promotion.
