[GPSCC-chat] agenda items needed

[Spencer Graves]

       I recommend Joe Stiglitz for President and Paul Krugman for Vice 
President.  I have no idea if either would accept a nomination.  
However, as far as I can see, the policies that governments world wide 
are following are similar to the policies Herbert Hoover used to 
manufacture the Great Depression.  As government spending continues to 
be cut at all levels, I don't see new private sector spending picking up 
the slack.  I think we could get Green Party people energized nationwide 
to host teleconferences where leading economists make presentations and 
answer questions.  In such venues, I believe that the economists 
supporting the establishment would look foolish when confronted by 
people like Stiglitz and Krugman.


       If the Green Party has a ticket like this next year and if the 
economy continues to decline, the Green party ticket could win -- 
without accepting substantive contributions from big money.

p.s.  Both Stiglitz and Krugman have received Nobel Memorial Prizes in 
Economics.  Stiglitz founded the Initiative for Policy Dialog, which in 
my mind is the single most important forum for serious research in 
economics.  Stiglitz is my candidate for the number one living economist 
in the world today.
