FEDERAL RESERVE CHAIRMAN BEN BERNANKE


To:               The Right Honorable Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke 

From:            Athinarayanan Sanjeevraja

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...

  To:     The Right Honourable Russian President Hon. Vladimir Putin From: Athinarayanan Sanjeevraja Date: January 9, 2021 RE:     Thank you note to Russian President Hon. Vladimir Putin for Armenia, Azerbaijan and Russia peace treaty. l Suggestions: Hon. President, I wrote to you in the month of October 26, 2020 for your government to stop selling arms to Armenia and Turkish President to stop selling arms to Azerbaijan. But you signed peace deal between Armenia, Azerbaijan and Russia is a real diplomatic victory for you and your government. You want to have good relationships with both ex-Soviet Republics (Armenia and Azerbaijan). Now Armenia is close to Russia more than ever and Azerbaijan is close cooperation with Russia as Russia has military presence in Azerbaijan for the first time in 30 years. You did a great job President as you know the value of peaceful conflict resolution. This would allow you to play the role of peacemaker....
