REBUILDING AMERICAN ECONOMY 2013

To: The Right Honourable American President Mr. Barack Obama

RE: Your Economic Vision

Suggestion:

Good Morning Mr. President. Let me start by paying my respects to you and through you to.

Mr. President, India’s Business Line reported that “Obama to outline his vision for rebuilding US economy.” American economy may not grow as fast because US consumer spending crowds out investment spending. But I see US economic outlook improve gradually during the second half of 2013. According to me, investment spending is much more likely to be growth enhancing. If I am not mistaken, US inflation rate was recorded at 1.8 percent in June 2013. Inflation is not at very high level in US. If inflation is very high, it adversely affects fixed business investment. I identified fiscal policy for instance, tax cut that stimulates investment spending. Corporate tax rate should be lowered, an investment tax credit should be given to American companies who’s establishing or expanding their business in US. Such changes in tax policy can enhance investment spending because firm’s investment spending decisions are made in the light of after tax cost and returns.

Mr. President, it is vital to have proper balance in the American economy between consumption and investment but consumption spending should not be promoted at the expense of investment. But investment spending plays a vital role in stimulating slumping economy. So I request you to increase in the investment tax credit. As a result, a certain percent of the purchase price of new goods could be taken as a credit off of the firm’s tax. In addition, Federal Reserve should act to lower interest rate which would encourage investment spending. Federal Reserve already keeps the interest rates low. The low interest rates of the global financial crisis 2008 certainly contributed to the American economy recovers from the crisis.   

Let me now conclude Mr. President, as has been pointed out, business investment spending is very important now to the fast economic growth. Declines in business investment spending often contributed to the economic recessions or downward economic growth. According to my analysis, fiscal policy action, for instance, increase in the investment tax credit for companies to stimulate investment is deemed desirable.   

Thank you for your attention.

Sincere Regards,

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...

You are trying to do everything possible to stop Iranian bases in Syria. Do you believe that Iran is building permanent bases inside Syria or close to Israel? How much land has Iran captured or taken from Syria? My answer is none. But you are openly threatened Iran.   Let me put it very clearly to you, there are no winners with war but losers are there. I agreed that you have strongest military force on earth. You could easily arrange a favourable peace treaty with Syria and Iran but you don’t want to negotiate with the Syria and Iran.
