Who Will Unite The Country? PDF Version

Who will unite the country? Certainly, it won’t be me. Will it be Joe Biden or Donald Trump? God forbid that any president unites the country. Should a country be united? A united country is fine as long as the population unites itself independently of a leader urging folks to unite behind him. If citizens are generally of a similar mind that is fine. When a politician seeks to unite the population behind him, ordinary citizens are being ask to fall on a sword for their country. Follow a national leader and you are following the equivalent of a Judas Goat.

Lets look at some examples of situati0ns where a leader has united a country.

The first that comes to mind is Venezuela. Hugo Chavez United Venezuela. How did that turn out? You decide.

When has the United States been united? There was World War II but it was the war itself that United the country. Hitler did in fact Unite Germany. Germany could not have risen had Hitler not united his country. The country was united behind John F. Kennedy. But, he was assassinated. Perhaps that is because he  was uniting the country in ways powerful people did not appreciate. Kennedy’s agendas were not fully developed when he died.

The Country was united behind Lyndon Johnson following the Kennedy Assignation. Following, we got the false flagged Gulf of Tonkin incident and a useless war that took the lives of millions.

Richard Nixon united the country early on. He completely finished off the gold standard. The country is now flooded with unearned fiat currency. He accepted a $2,000,000 donation from Jimmy Hoffa and pardoned him in order to receive it. Then there was Watergate,

The country was  united behind Ronald Reagan. Out of Reagan we got the birth of modern socialism and perpetual tampering with the financial markets. Under this new system we have stagnate wages from the middle class on down and enormous wealth and income at the top. The growth of top down socialism is the root cause of the depression the country is in today.

Both Bushes united the country and the result is perpetual wars in the Mid East.

Bill Clinton did not manage to unite the country and his administration did little if any permanent harm to the country.

A system designed around democratic principles is not meant to be united or expected to be. Check the writings of our founding fathers. Democracy works only when different people and sides vigorously disagree with each other.  In that system, the side that wins turns out to have the best approach. Constant tension  between the population and government is a critical ingredient with respect to a productive democratic system.

So, should the country unite behind the next president? You dec

About Fantasy Free Economics

James Quillian independent scholar,free market economist,and teacher of natural law. Who is James Quillian? Certainly I am nobody special, Just a tireless academic and deep thinker. Besides that, I have broken the code with respect to economics and political science. Credentials? Nothing you would be impressed with. I am not a household name. It is hard to become famous writing that virtually no one in the country is genuinely not in touch with reality. But, if I did not do that, there would be no point in my broking the broken the code. If you read the blog, it is easy to see that there are just a few charts, no math and no quantitative analysis. That is not by accident. Given what I know, those items are completely useless. I do turn out to be highly adept at applying natural law. Natural law has predominance over any principles the social science comes up. By virtue of understanding natural law, I can debunk, in just a few sentences , any theory that calls for intervention by a government. My taking the time to understand the ins and outs of Keynes General Theory is about like expecting a chemistry student to completely grasp all that the alchemists of the middle ages thought they understood in efforts to turn base metals into goal. Keynesian theory clearly calls for complete objectivity. Government can only make political decisions. Keynesian techniques call for economic decisions. So, why go any further with that? Fantasy Free Economics is in a sense a lot like technical analysis. Technical analysis began with the premise that it was impossible to gain enough information studying fundamentals to gain a trading advantage. Study the behavior of investors instead. Unlike technical analysis, I don't use technical charts. What I understand are the incentives of different people and entities active in the economics arena. For example, there is no such thing as an incentive to serve with life in the aggregate. In the aggregate, only self interest applies. It is routinely assumed otherwise. That is highly unappealing. But, I am sorry. That is the way it is. I can accept that because I am genuinely in touch with reality. Step one in using Fantasy Free Economics is for me to understand just how little I really know. A highly credentialed economist may know 100 times what I do based on the standard dogma. Compare the knowledge each of us has compared to all there is to know and we both look like we know nothing at all. There is always more than we don't know than what we do know. I am humble enough to present myself on that basis. Why? That is the way it is. I am not bad at math. I have taught math. What I understand is when to use it and when to rely on something else. Math is useless in natural law so I don't use it. While others look at numbers, I am busy understanding the forces in nature that makes their numbers what they are. That gives me a clear advantage.
