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. <br>
<br>
<br>
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. <br>

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. <br>

<div>Hello-- It's that time again. Our next Green Party
general meeting is on April 28. We are having a plenary
in Oakland on April 30. We need some thoughtful input
for the agenda. For example: Have we thought of asking
Ted Danson to be our presidential candidate?</div>
<div>Did that get your attention? Do you have a better
