Distribution of Resources

ILLUSTRATED: The crisis of mass foreclosures and discounted resale is a massive redistribution on wealth…upward. Don’t be afraid of being called a demagogue for talking about the distribution of resources. The GOP wants an economy of get what you can and keep it. Dems want an economy of the public and private sector cycling resources between each other beneficially.

Real property is where most Americans have most of their wealth. Most everyone is losing property value. Of the homes actually foreclosed, many are being repurchased at a bargain by long range investors. This is simply put, a redistribution of wealth.

Think of the economy as an EKG for one’s circulatory system. By 1999, Bill Clinton and the Democrats had the distribution of resources about as equitable as it has every been. Certainly money and opportunity did not get everywhere, but it was as good as it has ever been.

Resources is a good theme to talk about a host of issues. “Investing in resources, distributing resources, and preserving resources.” All of the aforementioned can refer to education and workforce development, Iraq War spending, the environment, and the economy.
