Jeffrey Sachs doesn't lie, does he?
Jeff Sachs, the famous economist and university professor (Columbia U.) appeared recently (Oct. 2011) on a Charlie Rose on PBS program discussing, what else, the economy. Specifically, the depression or at least recession (at this point the "recession" has been the longest and slowest recovery in the history of the USA, which pretty much makes it discretionary as to whether it is called one term or the other, IMNSHO.) and how to climb out of it.

"Build Domestic Industry", "New Jobs", "Increased Income", Ag. Sec. Vilsack Predicts
Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack said:
In Washington, Vilsack told the press, it is "an opportunity for the country to wean itself off of foreign oil and to build a domestic industry with new job opportunities in rural America as well as increasing income levels for farmers and producers," which is good as far as it goes. But there is a deeper truth in that statement than even the Secretary of Agriculture realizes.
Washington (and too much of America) is focused solely on American, and

The Most Important Part of Any Resume
Looking Good is Not Necessary Good Looking
The difference between "looking good" which was one of the main focii of responses to a young lady's inquiry about "What is the most important part of your resume?" from several of the respondents. There was even a couple who agreed that something more graphic than textual, or perhaps even multi-media if possible might be the way to capture the attention of the Human Resources person, or the "Hiring Manager". Let's start with the fact that "hiring

I Love Marketing: Live (the Joe Polish and Dean Johnson Annual) THANK YOU
Wish you were here, having a wonderful time
If I had been on a lazy beach in Bimini, and sent you that traditional postcard, it could not better describe the few days I spend last week with Joe Polish, (of Piranha Marketing, and others) and Dean Jackson, plus his invited World's Best Marketing Gurus. Dan Kennedy gave an (always amusing) very informative presentation on marketing to upscale. John Carlton also spoke. John is known as the world's best sales and advertising (i.e. marketing)

Exporting Green, 2 Presidents on the Bandwagon, Smart Grid & Energy Conservation, Algae & Biomass
Not Exactly News
Not "exactly" unexpected is the fact that Andy White is CEO of Trilliant, a global smart grid communications company is recommending that the USA export smart grid technology as a way of creating jobs at home and income (and balance of payments/trade surpluses on the domestic side of the balance sheet) through those exports. The only surprising thing, to me, is that he takes a brilliant idea, gets it published in Forbes (at least it appears here) but turns it into a narrow,

Debt of 15 Trillion = No Big Deal
Cross posted from a Focus.com Discussion (yes, I wrote this)
It may seem counter-intuitive to say that 15 TRILLION in public debt is "no big deal", but the causes of it are an interesting slice of politics, and the solution (to reducing the debt as a percentage of GDP) is relatively simple.
You see back about a decade ago, we elected one of the good old boys from Texas and the folks that crafted his public image and got him elected were the ones who benefited from his administration and t
