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...

To:                        The Right Honorable American President Barack Obama From:                      Athinarayanan Sanjeevraja RE:                        US Jobs Act Suggestion:             Improving Consumer Demand Good Morning President.

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...
