RE: Restructuring the American economy

Suggestion: Encouraging domestic investment

Good Morning Chairman. In my opinion, structural economic problems can not be fixed by monetary policies especially QEs. QE can temporarily ease but growth will not return until sound economic structure is put in place. You argued that White House need to address the medium term fiscal mess while leaving room to cushion the economy now. In my opinion both fiscal and monetary policies are at the end of the rope.

American economy needs more debt fueled consumer spending which creates economic activity as well as jobs. It would require major restructuring of the American economy. I think that domestic investment which could help to stimulate aggregate demand, reduce unemployment and improve the overall economic outlook. If US consumers buy a product which made outside the US, it doesn’t encourage domestic investment. If US firms shipping productions or services to overseas, it doesn’t encourage domestic investments. I wrote to Barack Obama administration same concept in the month of January 2010. US government failed to execute the same.

I hope that US governments must be made accountable as hard as that would be to do for a country and bring back economy on track.

Sincerely,

Athinarayanan Sanjeevraja.

Nagorno-Karabakh conflict

To put things into perspective, Nagorno-Karabakh is not an independent entity but an occupied territory of the Azerbaijan Republic and is recognised by the international community and the UN. The fact that the Armenian Prime Minister's son is doing his military service in the Armenian army located in Azerbaijan's Nagorno-Karabakh and started an undeclared war against Azerbaijan, occupied Nagorno-Karabakh and 7 adjacent regions of Azerbaijan, and massacred and forcefully deported Azerbaijani aborigines was the main reason for the lack of peace in the region. The laws of armed conflict failed to protect the Nagorno-Karabakh civilian population, individual civilians, and civilian property. The laws of armed conflict failed to discriminate between those taking parts in the fighting in Nagorno-Karabakh. The laws of armed conflict failed to protect the environment as war causes severe or long term damage to the environment. The fact here is that there is a number of international doc...

SUGGESTION TO THE PRIME MINISTER OF JAPAN YOSHIHIKO NODA

SUGGESTION TO THE PRIME MINISTER OF JAPAN YOSHIHIKO NODA To: The Right Honorable Japanese Prime Minister Yoshihiko Noda From: Athinarayanan Sanjeevraja Date: 30.09.2011 RE: Japan Energy Policy Suggestion: Changing Industrial Policy Good Morning Prime Minister. BBC World broadcasted your speech regarding alternate energy sources. I agree with your approach to reduce nuclear power in the medium term because having the nuclear reactors in an earthquake prone zone is not safe for the environment or the communities that live near them. Japan is struck in a difficult situation concerning energy. If you want to eventually move away from the nuclear energy, you’ll have to invest more alternative energy sources. If you can’t invest, then it may have to say with a nuclear power for a while. You need make the right decision because source of energy is dwindling. You have one more option which is Japanese people depend on nuclear power with only 1% but 9% including hydroe...
