SUGGESTION TO THE AMERICAN PRESIDENT OBAMA 2011

SUGGESTION TO THE AMERICAN PRESIDENT OBAMA

To:               The Right Honorable President Obama

From;            Athinarayanan Sanjeevraja

RE:               US Unemployment Issue

Suggestions:

Good Morning Mr. President. I have a high hope for you but you have been a disappointment to me because you have failed to make the case for more stimuli now until the lost jobs are recovered. As you knew that US economy is based on consumer spending. If you want to get back your economy on track you have to address the problem of 9.1% unemployment. US have 9.1% unemployment and unemployment payouts are not good stimulus. I would recommend you to not to implement deficit reduction measures until the lost jobs are recovered. You have recovered over two million jobs in the last 15 months. You are still short 7 million jobs when you take into account the decline in government jobs at the state and local level. I think you need to continue more stimuli something for which you have failed to make the case. As for the idea that higher tax rates would mean more revenue but that is false. It is no accident that reductions in the higher rates of tax have always meant more revenue in American history. If I am not mistaken, this was true under the Harding and Coolidge. Mr. President sometimes you admit that the drive to increase tax rates has nothing to do with reducing the deficit. Sometimes not. It was an inextricable delusion. You will do nothing to really reduce government spending as opposed to reduce tax expenditure or get rid of the bubble economy.

Mr. President you should have endorsed the recommendation of your budget commission making sure that the implementation of those deficit reduction measures waited until the lost jobs are recovered and you should be making a stronger case for stimulus which addresses the problem of unemployment.

Thank you very much for your kind attention Mr. President.

Sincerely,

Athinarayanan Sanjeevraja.

BRITAIN’S BREXIT BATTLE 2019

To:     The Right Honourable European Commission President Hon. Jean-Claude Juncker   From: Athinarayanan Sanjeevraja Date: August 19, 2019 RE:      BRITAIN’S BREXIT BATTLE   Suggestion: Hon. European Commission President, let me start by paying my respects to you and through you to. The UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson has insisted repeatedly that backstop must go, if not then no deal BREXIT but he support the GFA and custom-free border between the UK (Northern Ireland) and the EU (Republic of Ireland). That is a blatant contradiction. How can he have it both ways? If the UK wanted to exit from the EU bloc without a deal - the return of a hard border is absolutely necessary. Why BREXITERS are object to the backstop? The reason behind that it would give the EU way to keep a toehold in future UK trade policy. If the UK wanted to leave the EU without backstop, in other words, a hard BREXIT or there is been no exit agreement by both the UK and the EU – then the r

HONG KONG EXTRADITION BILL 2019

To:     The Right Honourable Chief Executive of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region of the People’s Republic of China Ms. Carrie Lam From: Athinarayanan Sanjeevraja Date: August 29, 2019 RE:      HONG KONG EXTRADITION BILL 2019 Suggestion: Hon. Chief Executive of the Hong Kong let me start by paying my respects to you and through you to. “One Country Two Systems” structure compels Hong Kong to operate currently under different legal system than that of Mainland China. You published the extradition bill on March 29, 2019 and first reading on April 3, 2019 which will destroy Hong Kong legal independence because extradition bill is another attempt for China to take away the Hong Kong independent legal system that China has agreed for Hong Kong to keep until 2047. Thus, the people of Hong Kong marched their protest against the bill on June 9, 2019. Hong Kong protests are still continuing. The silence of your government leads me to believe you have no plan t

EU NEW FISCAL AUTHORITY FOR WEAK MEMBER STATES

This paper focuses on setting up new fiscal authority to manage compatible fiscal decentralisation and budgetary discipline in the EU Member States. The authority need to adopt a tough fiscal consolidation programme. The authority should be responsible for designing fiscal policy for all Member States with stricter rules, conscientious monitoring and enforcement mechanisms for the conduct of fiscal decentralisation and budgetary policy. If Member States does not implement or violate the fiscal authority law that Member State/States to be sued in the European Court of Justice. We cannot grow our economy without proper fiscal cooperation between Member States. So the fiscal authority must coach at least weak Member States how to implement effective fiscal policy so that crony driven economy can be turned into a competitive market based economy. EU established the provisions of the Stability and Growth Pact (SGP) to avoid excessive deficits of the Member States and take precise act
