"We should not have to choose," President Barack Obama said this past week, "between getting our fiscal house in order and jobs and growth."
If that sounds unobjectionable, that's because it's another of those "false choices" Obama imagines to be filling the minds of everyone else in America.
But the solution is not more public spending now and higher taxes later to pay for it.
Corporate balance sheets are flush with cash. Banks have the problem of a "reverse run": Instead of a rush of withdrawals, they have too much money coming in (which are recorded as liabilities and raise their deposit-insurance costs).
Private money is available. But capital has gone on strike.
The way to get jobs and growth without adding to the debt is not to seize it through taxes or government borrowing and force it into the economy. Washington has tried that.
What hasn't been tried lately is encouraging private actors to put their money to work on their own volition. Here are three low- or no-cost possibilities for Obama:
1. Make some phone calls.
Not to business leaders, but to his own Cabinet secretaries.
In a recent appearance on Fox News, a former chief economist for the Labor Department, Diana Furchtgott-Roth, said Obama could "make things a lot easier on employers and on hiring" by telling the bureaucracy to stop making new rules that crimp businesses.
"He could call EPA Administrator Lisa Jackson and say, 'Why don't we just hold off on those new ozone rules, or clean air rules, until the unemployment rate is down to 7 percent?' ," Furchtgott-Roth said.
"He could call his Interior secretary and say, 'Why don't we just allow more oil drilling in the Gulf [of Mexico]?' Because there's been a moratorium since the BP oil spill — that's about a year and a half ago.
"He could tell his National Labor Relations Board acting general counsel, Lafe Solomon, 'Hey, why don't you just lay off Boeing?' Because Boeing wants to open a new plant in South Carolina to build [787] Dreamliners, and [Solomon] says they can only a new plant in Washington state, where they have their existing plant."
The list, she said, is long. "Each cabinet secretary is doing things that impede businesses from creating jobs."
2. Temporarily lower the minimum wage.
I don't mean lowering existing workers' wages. Rather, allow companies to pay additional hires a little less. To sweeten the deal, the government might continue to pay the new worker a portion of any jobless benefits to which he or she is still entitled, to offset the lower wage. This would save the government from paying full unemployment benefits while lowering the company's cost.
One of the more ill-timed moves by Congress in recent years was that of the new Democratic majorities in 2007 to raise the minimum wage in three steps. Even after the recession hit, the floor for wages kept rising. The higher wages have only hurt the millions of low-paid workers who lost jobs.
In fact, the jobless rate for high-school dropouts began rising soon after the 2007 bill. By this July, it stood at 15 percent — much higher than any other grouping by education level.
The absolute number of 16- to 19-year-olds with jobs in July was the lowest since 1963 — when there were 5 million fewer Americans in that age range.
3. Tear down some houses.
Normally, I would agree with 19th century French economist Frederic Bastiat's "broken window fallacy." You don't create wealth by destroying wealth.
But hundreds of thousands of foreclosed houses are already destroying wealth by bringing down the value of other homes. And the longer they sit empty, the more likely they'll become uninhabitable anyway because of mold or other conditions.
The feds own about 248,000 foreclosed homes. They should follow the example of some commercial banks and raze a portion of them. This would create truly shovel-ready jobs in an ailing sector, and perhaps end the freefall of home values.

The idea of tearing down some of those houses , might have some merit. From the quality of a lot of the boomtime construction that I saw, it might be more efficient just to let them sit empty about 10 years. A lot of them will be falling apart by then, from what I've seen.
I know of one subdivision where virtually every house in it, has already had to have a new roof and they are less than 5 years old.

You will be needing a job soon if you don't blog with a lot more intelligence, with facts and arguments based on reasoning and logic. I don't know how long your employer will accept your inability to attract throngs of commentators to your asinine posts. Shows you are hopelessly out of your depth and you should consider a fruit picking job in southern jawja.

Do you really believe that the companies will start hiring if some rules are postponed, when there is no demand for the products the companies make? The way to spur growth and reduce unemployment is to create demand, and you will not do it by allowing dirty air or dangerous drilling, or by reducing the minimum wage.
August 19th, 2011
6:50 pm
I hope this isn't running on Sunday, Kyle, because it reflects terribly on you.
"He could call his Interior secretary and say, 'Why don't we just allow more oil drilling in the Gulf [of Mexico]?' Because there's been a moratorium since the BP oil spill — that's about a year and a half ago.
There was a moratorium on "deep-water drilling", not on all drilling. And that moratorium was lifted LAST OCTOBER. Jeez. There are more rigs operating in the Gulf this year than last year. Just check the EIA site for details. Or this… http://www.platts.com/weblog/oilblog/2011/08/02/us_regulators_i.html
The feds own about 248,000 foreclosed homes. They should follow the example of some commercial banks and raze a portion of them. This would create truly shovel-ready jobs in an ailing sector, and perhaps end the freefall of home values.
And who exactly would tear these down for free? Oh, wait, you have to spend money to make that happen? Whose money? The taxpayer owns them, so wouldn't that be taxpayer money? Isn't that the same choice you said didn't exist?

And as MarkV pointed out, the problem with employment isn't on the business side: corporations are sitting on $1 Trillion in cash. The problem is on demand side and has been since the "bank of my house" went belly-up for much of the nation. Increase demand and employment solves itself. How do you increase demand? Just ask Keynes what he would do.

I'm not sure which corporate balance sheets Wingfield is referring to. His information may come from the media or some other "official" source. Whatever. If a company has surplus funds, they're likely set aside for improvements or new equipment. It takes profits to expand and the uncertainly recently about tax increases has made money managers a little nervous. Managers could hire additional employees if they knew payroll and unemployment taxes would be reduced. But all the liberals, including Obama, want to increase taxes; increase taxes on the "rich" and kill the golden goose: "poor" people don't produce jobs.

Since that would apply to their competitors as well, they would hire new employees to make more of the products, for which there was not enough demand?

Jobs are NOT the Presidents responsibility and he/she can do little about it. Even if you take the view of policy influence. Industry creates jobs. Period. Companies looking to expand will certainly expand, if the costs are higher than they used to be they will factor them in and /or pass them along or they will innovate, but they will expand, they will create new markets, they will test their competition. Presidents have no more control over jobs than they do over gas prices at the pump and anyone buying that a President can somehow take the price for a gallon back to $1.79 does not know how these things operate. Now can the government stir more motivation? I think so.. but the buck stops with Industry on job creation.

One other thing MarxV, companies aren't chomping at the bits to add employees to their payrolls for the sake of small reductions in payroll and unemployment taxes. In fact, companies really don't want anymore employees on their payrolls than they must have to make a profit and they would like those profits to be very nice big ones that are not eaten-up by the overhead of expendable employees.

Since you're here. I saw a documentary the other day on South America, it's economic development, colonialism as viewed through the current situation, etc. Wish I could remember the name of it. Anyway, since we've discussed before how the terms "liberal" and "conservative" have lost much of their meaning, the people talking in the documentary, when discussing the concept of laisse faire, taking the resources out of South America for U.S. and European profit and such, they referred to laisse faire as "neo-liberalism". Bet that'd send heads a-spinnin' on both sides of most of these blogs.

Management of complicated crown-root fractures using intentional replantation: two case reports.
Summary of "Management of complicated crown-root fractures using intentional replantation: two case reports."
Abstract -  The management of complicated crown-root fractures is a challenge. Intentional replantation with 180° rotation may be a useful procedure to overcome this problem. In Case 1, a 23-year-old woman with complicated crown-root fractured teeth #11, #21, and #22 was referred for treatment. All fractured teeth were extracted, rotated 180°, and replanted in a slightly extruded position. After 3 months, root canal treatment was completed and the final restorations fabricated. At the 18-month follow up, the patient was asymptomatic, the tooth was functional, and no root resorption was observed radiographically. At the 90-month follow up, slight cervical root resorption of tooth #11 was noted. In Case 2, a 27-year-old woman with a crown-root fractured tooth #21 was referred for treatment. Despite immediate repositioning of the coronal fragment and a 2-week stabilization with a wire splint, the coronal fragment remained separated from the apical tooth segment. The apical segment was extracted, rotated 180°, and replanted in a slightly extruded position. After 1 and 4 weeks, the root canal treatment was completed and the final restoration fabricated, respectively. At the 24-month follow up, the patient was asymptomatic and apical healing was completed.

Medical and Biotech [MESH] Definitions
Tooth Cervix
The constricted part of the tooth at the junction of the crown and root or roots. It is often referred to as the cementoenamel junction (CEJ), the line at which the cementum covering the root of a tooth and the enamel of the tooth meet. (Jablonski, Dictionary of Dentistry, 1992, p530, p433)
Femoral Neck Fractures
Fractures of the short, constricted portion of the thigh bone between the femur head and the trochanters. It excludes intertrochanteric fractures which are HIP FRACTURES.
Tooth Crown
The upper part of the tooth, which joins the lower part of the tooth (TOOTH ROOT) at the cervix (TOOTH CERVIX) at a line called the cementoenamel junction. The entire surface of the crown is covered with enamel which is thicker at the extremity and becomes progressively thinner toward the cervix. (From Jablonski, Dictionary of Dentistry, 1992, p216)
Hip Fractures
Fractures of the FEMUR HEAD; the FEMUR NECK; (FEMORAL NECK FRACTURES); the trochanters; or the inter- or subtrochanteric region. Excludes fractures of the acetabulum and fractures of the femoral shaft below the subtrochanteric region (FEMORAL FRACTURES).
Post And Core Technique
Use of a metal casting, usually with a post in the pulp or root canal, designed to support and retain an artificial crown.

McLaren resurrects Mercedes-Benz SLR for 25-car limited edition
The Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren was discontinued a year ago, when the German automaker and British racing specialist decided to part ways. Mercedes has since released the SLS AMG, and McLaren has its new MP4-12C. But it looks like McLaren has one last ace up its sleeve for the old supercar.
The new SLR McLaren Edition sports revised bodywork (front bumper, grille, hood, side gills, rear diffuser, rims) and interior parts, along with upgraded steering and suspension components and new ceramic brakes. The 5.5L supercharged V8 appears to have been left untouched and is expected to deliver 626 hp, 575 lb-ft of torque, 207 mph top speed, and a 0-62 mph run in under 3.8 seconds.
In line with its name, the limited-edition car's Mercedes badges have been given a smoked finish to blend in with the rest of the car, while the McLaren badges are highlighted in red. The company plans to build just 25 examples of the McLaren Edition, which it showed off recently at the Essen Motor Show in Germany. No word on pricing or availability, though we'd imagine they're probably all spoken for already.
More photos and a walkaround video after the jump.

59,000-square-foot market will be complete.
Restocking will begin immediately after officials from the
"Due to damage from heavy smoke and soot throughout the store, it's been a challenging recovery process that required a lot of teamwork from our own associates and local partners who joined in the effort," said Behr.
"Our first concern was for the safe and efficient removal of product throughout the store. We then set out to clean and sanitize every part of the store and equipment from ceiling to the floor. We soon will be ready for our approvals and for restocking, allowing for a Feb. 5 reopening."
Behr said throughout the various stages of the recovery, work was supervised by local volunteer firefighters, Franklin County Health Department officials, associates of the Washington store, Schnucks Food Safety and Quipco Maintenance teams and Catco, Inc., catastrophe cleaning and restoration company.
"Everyone really pulled together to make sure this store was returned to its customers as quickly as possible, and that was our motivation for what turned out to be a very successful team effort," said Behr. "Many of our associates have been working at other locations since the fire, but they are anxious to return to their home store and to their hometown customers."
Behr says, through Monday, pharmacy customers can
continue calling in prescriptions at 636-239-4120. The phone call will be rerouted to the Schnucks

Plastic bags have been the enemy of environmentalists for pretty much as long as they have existed. Not only are they made from oil, but they clog our landfills for hundreds of years. Many cities, states and buy tramadol cheap cod countries have banned plastic bags altogether, but for most of the world, they'll be hanging around for a while longer.
In an attempt to deal with the millions and millions of plastic bags used every year, Japanese inventor Akinori Ito has created a machine that can turn plastic bags into fuel in a carbon negative process. The machine, which is now being sold by the inventor's Blest Corporation, heats the plastic and traps the high quality levitra vapors in a system of pipes, where the vapors are cooled and condensed into crude oil. The crude oil can be used in generators and even some stoves, but with one more refining step, it can be used in gasoline.
The very efficient machine can process two pounds of plastic (including polyethylene, polystyrene and polypropylene) into a quart of how to get viagra oil using only one kilowatt of electricity.
Obviously, once the fuel is burned, it will release CO2 into the atmosphere, but it's allowing the oil that created the plastic to be used twice instead of just once and then sent to a landfill. That cuts down on the amount of oil we need to extract and buy cheap viagra in uk keeps plastic out of landfills.
The machine is meant for households, but it currently costs $10,000, which is pretty steep. Ito hopes that the buy ultram online with mastercard cost of the machine will drop as production increases.

If the plastic was made from biomass, then burning it would be carbon neutral. But we shouldn't think of using fossil derived products twice as somehow eliminating it's CO2 emissions. (By the same token, growing algae from coal plant emissions doesn't "clean" the CO2 from the stack.)

1. It is inefficiently using electricity to fractionate the plastic. It is inefficient because it is small-scale.
2. It is releasing CO2 into the atmosphere that otherwise would be buried in the ground out of harm's way. Worse, the process of cheap cialis generic refining the plastic is releasing CO2.
3. Just what kind of "oil" is produced? Is it something that you can put in your car (highly unlikely), is it something which someone will be willing to purchase off you (unlikely due to the very small scale of the refinery).
The simplest solution is to ban the use and sale of plastic bags made from non-renewable ingredients. Leave the cialis overnight existing plastic bags in landfills until a large-scale system can be developed to re-process the plastic, and finally, do not burn the re-processed plastic, rather transform it into new plastic which could be used for structural engineering, coastal dykes etc.

From a energy stand point it might be better to recycle the plastic into plastic feed stock. But maybe they will get to a useful point at some point in the future.

Instead of burning the plastic it should be either recycled - to become usable plastic again - or just be stored in a way that does no harm to the environment.

Pepsi tries again with a mid-calorie soda
The company wants to reach customers who don't like diet or regular soft drinks.
The company is trying once more to fill the void between diet and regular with Pepsi Next, a soda with half the calories of regular Pepsi. With 60 calories in a can, it's expected to be available nationwide by the end of next month.
But does Pepsi Next have any chance of success? The odds are stacked against it. Does anyone remember Pepsi Edge? That was Pepsi's previous attempt at a lighter cola, launching in 2004 with 50% less sugar and calories. One year later, it was canned.
Rival Coca-Cola (KO) tried the same strategy around the time with Coke C2, only to discontinue it a few years later.
People don't want a soda with half the calories. They want either the real thing or a zero-calorie beverage that tastes good enough.
Is PepsiCo a good stock for your portfolio? Hear one analyst's views in the following video.
Post continues below.
Given that checkered past, analysts are understandably skeptical about Pepsi Next. Bill Pecoriello of Consumer Edge Research thinks the drink just won't taste enough like Pepsi, according to beverage industry news site Bevnet. A mid-calorie cola with artificial sweeteners will probably taste a lot like Pepsi Edge -- and that didn't go so well.
But Pepsi executives say the new drink will be better than Pepsi Edge. "The way we formulated products 20 years ago was very different," the company's American beverages head said last year, according to Reuters. "You wouldn't play tennis with a wooden racquet today."
PepsiCo needs all the help it can get right now. The company recently forecast a 5% decline in 2012 earnings as higher materials costs eat into the bottom line. CEO Indra Nooyi said the company will cut 8,700 jobs in what she described as a "transitional year."
Pepsi shares are flat from a year ago and traded Thursday just below $63. Coca-Cola shares are up 8% in the same period. Coke still dominates the soft-drink market, with a share of 42% to Pepsi's 29.3%.
The company has come under fire for turning its focus away from sodas to healthier food products, such as oatmeal. So it's responding with a renewed push into Pepsi, Mountain Dew and Gatorade, among other brands. It will raise its advertising and marketing budget by as much as $600 million this year.
So expect to hear quite a bit about Pepsi Next. It's going to take some effort on the company's part to persuade consumers to abandon zero-calorie and full-calorie drinks for something in the middle.
