Letter To The Editor

 

The Fed.

 

Why hasn’t the Fed raised interest rates?

 

It has been talking about raising interest rates for years.

 

Obviously, raising interest rates must be important.

 

So why hasn’t the Fed raised rates? 

 

Unemployment is way down.

 

The stock market is in record territory.

 

If not now, when?

 

Does the Fed know something you don’t know?

 

Fact is, the Fed has a tiger by the tail.

 

The Fed knows that years of maintaining  artificially low interest rates along with its policy of credit expansion has led to all kinds of “malinvestments”, i.e., loans that shouldn’t have been made, construction projects that never should have happened, manufacturing facilities that never should have been built or expanded, and the like.

 

The Fed also knows that if/when it raises interest rates, those malinvestments will be revealed as unprofitable mistakes which will ultimately have to be liquidated.

 

And that means layoffs, business closings, loan defaults, and bankruptcies, with a significant drop in the stock market leading the way.

 

Been here before?

 

But, on the other hand, if the Fed doesn’t raise interest rates now, then business people will, because of the artificially low interest rates, continue to make more and more malivestments, thereby making the day of reckoning even worse.  

 

And while the Fed has some control over when it raises rates, it cannot keep interest rates artificially low forever and they know it.

 

Hence the Fed’s constant talk/threats about raising interest rates.

 

Unfortunately, thanks to the Fed, a recession/depression is already in the pipeline.

 

Once the Fed starts to raise interest rates, as it must do at some point, it will set in motion the events which will make the next recession/depression a reality.

Letter To The Editor

OMG! JACK KELLEHER & I AGREE!!

 

SVS June 24: Jack Kelleher wrote “Scrap the present tax code.” I would bet good money that about 85% of Americans also agree. I’d also bet the 10 to 15% who want it left in tact are those who benefit from current tax code i.e. lawyers/accountants/loophole facilitators along with H&R Block, JacksonHewitt, TurboTax et al. So, why can’t Congress get this done?

 

I disagree with everything else on Mr. Kelleher’s list and there, I suppose, is the rub. Our country is split in half re role(s) of our Federal Government. Come fall (after gardening season is over), I will submit “My Top 10 Favorite Federal Departments/Agencies” and why I believe they are essential to a strong America.

Epsom Library News

 

The Epsom Public Library Adult Summer Reading Program, “Escape the Ordinary” is up and running.  The first evening presentation will be Dan Szczesny, a long-time journalist and author living in New Hampshire, who will discuss his book, “The Adventures of Buffalo and Tough Cookie, a Hiking Journey of Discovery”,  on Tuesday, July 7 at 7:00 PM.  The book is a hiking memoir about a one-year, 225-mile journey through some of New Hampshire’s least known wilderness that Dan took with his 10-year-old foster daughter.  Amazon calls the book “a personal memoir and travelogue of two friends, a seasoned middle-aged climber and an energetic fourth-grader, as they set off on a bonding journey through the White Mountains that will change both their lives”.

 

Dan is also Associate Publisher of The Hippo, the state’s largest Arts and Entertainment journal.  He will have books available for purchase.  Perhaps a chance to buy an autographed copy for a Christmas gift.

 

Also save the date of July 21 when Liz Barbour of Creative Feast will be at the library cooking some dishes featuring fresh vegetables from her garden.  Reservations are required for this program.  Sign up at the front desk.  There will be more information in upcoming issues of The Sun.

 


 

Letter

 

To my constituents in Allenstown, Epsom, and Pittsfield,

This week the House had its last session until mid -September (probably.) We passed the budget, as negotiated between the House and the Senate, 196-161, mostly on a party line basis. Compared to the House budget, this one took advantage of improving revenues to put more money towards local schools and UNH, emergency shelters for the homeless and 10 more beds for the severely mentally at NH Hospital, replenishing the rainy day fund, and (marginally) cut business taxes. That position was debated: the claim that most of the benefit goes to large, out of state corporations is because those corporations also pay most of the taxes!

 

Then, since the governor had promised to veto the budget, we also passed a continuing resolution to fund the state government at 2015 levels for six months. Democrats argued to use the new budget’s numbers, since that increased funding for mental health and other priorities, but the motion was defeated as cherry-picking the budget, since very few of the law changes (and definitely not the business tax cuts) would be included in this resolution. I spoke in favor of the resolution because with better revenue estimates, we could fund other priorities: school building aid, more for charter schools, state aid to local wastewater plants, or more revenue sharing to communities. And we could use the expected surplus from this budget to fund one-time expenses, rather than operating expenses: fix the first responder radio incompatibility, finish gold-plating the State House dome, polish the state’s websites so they’re more effective and more user friendly.

 

The governor has vetoed the budget already, so it’s a good thing we had the continuing resolution ready.

 

Interested readers can email me for my newsletter, with more details than fit here.
