Gordon Brown arrived at the White House on Monday. In a article he wrote in the London's Sunday Journal, he says he hopes for a "global new deal". Anytime I hear a world leader use the term global, it automatically sets off red flags.
Much like our own Prime Minister, I mean president, Brown was ushered in to power by his hopes for change. Global change at that. Brown has supported and agreed with Obama's economic policies thus far. It seems he is looking to move that support up a notch this week.
Brown's new deal consists of 6 steps.
1) Universal action to reverse the recession.
2) Restart lending to families and businesses.
3) Move away from protectionism and install a mechanism to track commitments.
4) More international regulation
5) Reform of international financial institutions
6) Environmental and social cooperation.
In the words of Rahm Emanuel, "Never allow a crisis to go to waste". It seems that all the crisis bombs that have devastated our country over the last decade have opened the door for our leaders to strip us of our constitutional rights. Our freedom is at stake and Emanuel's comments highlight that fact. So I am inclined to believe that the "Global New Deal" is another way for the power grabbers to do just that.
This will likely be a giant ball of spending hurled at an even bigger ball of indebted nations. When the ball lands, it will surely stain the whole world with more debt and increase our problems as lowly citizens while accomplishing their goals of world government.
