Chapter 401 The man who created the trend

When Zipperton left the white house with a smile on his face and became the former commander-in-chief of the United States.

Everyone in America applauded him.

Because during his tenure as the commander-in-chief of the United States, he achieved a financial surplus that was rare among previous commanders.

To put it simply, other general leaders will have fiscal deficits during their term of office.

The vast majority of American leaders are like this.

During Zipperton's tenure, when he retired, not only was there no deficit, but there was a slight surplus.

This situation has allowed Zipperton to enjoy a lot of praise.

Many people say that he is a very successful American leader.

It was also during his tenure that the United States became the world's number one and had no competitors in the world.

But...is Zipperton really that powerful?

In fact, Zipperton was able to achieve a slight fiscal surplus in the United States.

His proportion of credit is definitely not as big as imagined.

Because at that time, it would have been anyone else to serve as the two-term commander-in-chief of the United States.

They will definitely be able to make the United States' finances easier like Zipperton.

The reason is also very simple. No matter who becomes the commander-in-chief, let the United States eat such a large piece of corpse, the corpse of the real second best in the world.

He can greatly supplement and satisfy the economy of the United States, and even the entire West!

What really allowed the United States to achieve great economic development and achieve fiscal surpluses in the 1990s.

It's not about who is the leader, but the fall of Red Bear and the emergence of the Internet.

These two things have little to do with Zipperton.

Let’s talk about the red bear first. Its fall was the final result of decades of painstaking resistance by the entire Western world, plus the red bear’s own suicide attempt.

Secondly, the Internet industry has already begun to take shape as early as the 1960s. The first American leader to vigorously promote it was the actor leader Mr. Gen Li.

By the time Zipperton came on stage, both of these things were already in place.

Anyone in office can easily make them.

If Zipper was given a Chinese posthumous title, it would be Mei Xiangzong.

A leader who has spent his entire life sitting back and enjoying the fruits of his labor, enjoying the best eight years in American history.

When Zipperton, the King of Macdonalds, retired, George was elected as the 43rd General Commander of the United States.

The Internet, which has allowed U.S. GDP to grow rapidly for nearly a decade, has become a bubble and burst.

Everyone knew that what greeted George was not just flowers and applause, but also a serious crisis.

How to solve economic problems has become an important task for the new owner of the White House.

Since April 2000, the U.S. economy has been in recession, with consumption shrinking, unemployment increasing, industrial manufacturing hollowing out, financial markets violently turbulent, and Nasdaq suffering numerous losses...

Many "Big Mac" companies that are symbols of the U.S. economy are also struggling and falling to the bottom.

Amid a series of economic challenges, the continued rise in unemployment is a major problem at the moment.

But when George first came on stage, he was a rubber stamp.

He was just a spokesperson promoted by the military-industrial complex by chance.

In order to appease people's unemployment sentiment and boost market confidence, George has repeatedly emphasized that a major focus after taking office is to strive for more job opportunities for the people.

Well, basically every American leader has a similar declaration.

The "magic wand" in George's hand is the economic recovery plan known as the "George New Deal" by the outside world, which has been the focus of attention from all parties since he came to power.

The entire plan and theory of "George's New Deal" had been announced to the public before he came to power.

George and his staff pursued a "hybrid" (that is, a combination of Keynesianism and liberalism) economic policy.

In order to deal with the sharp economic slowdown, George plans to adopt the Keynesian "anti-crisis" concept and stimulate the economy through government intervention.

In particular, major tax cuts will be used to increase consumer spending and business investment and stimulate economic growth.

At the same time, George's government will also implement the concept of liberalism and, under normal economic conditions, play the role of market regulation and reduce the role of the government.

The simplest and crudest approach here is to reduce taxes massively.

It is similar to quantitative easing, the same economic drug.

However, in order to successfully pass Congress, compromise and exchanges between multiple parties are needed to finally achieve the goal.

In the early days, George's government was just a rubber stamp.

Of course, any of his strategies will not be approved.

To put it bluntly, fortunately, the September 11th incident happened.

After successfully launching the war abroad, George is now even more prosperous at home. After all, the U.S. military has not yet fallen into a quagmire on the battlefield.

George and his team also turned their attention to domestic economic issues in the United States for the first time.

The Federal Reserve's first attempt at the U.S. version of quantitative easing was their first effort.

There is also this nationwide tour of states, which is the beginning of the George administration's attempt to curb the economic decline and boost public confidence.

However, everything that happened in parallel time and space proved that George and his team were scum in the economic field.

It’s not even as good as the sea view at the back.

The U.S. economy really began to decline during George's term.

The trigger for the most serious economic crisis in the history of the capital world was created by George and his team...

And Abel, who already regards the United States as his base, really doesn’t want this to happen.

Although Abel knows that the overall decline of the U.S. economy does not lie with any individual or group.

Rather, it is the inevitable result of the pursuit of interests by the entire American capitalist class, and even capitalists around the world.

Abel also knew that there was no way he could prevent this situation from happening.

Because that is making enemies of all capitalists in the United States.

Abel is not Master Luo, so he will not go against all American capitalists for the future of the United States, and ultimately burn himself and his family.

What Abel wants to do is to seek sufficient benefits for himself in the slow but inevitable decline of the United States.

Now in front of George and his team, what Abel has to do is to speak for his own interests.

In front of everyone in the white room, Abel took a sip of coffee.

He leaned forward and put the coffee cup back on the table, looked at everyone and smiled lightly:

"Here, I would like to provide you with a suggestion. That is, maybe White House can incorporate "new energy" into the economic stimulus plan."

The new Treasury Secretary, John Snow, knows very well why he was appointed to this position.

He was grateful to Abel and asked in a very flattering manner:

"Excuse me, Mr. Smith, what is new energy?"

Abel nodded, smiled and said, "Good question."

"Since it is a new energy source, of course it can be called a new energy source only after it shows different characteristics when compared with old fossil energy sources, such as oil."

As Abel spoke, he looked at George and said, "Dear George, maybe you can take out my plan and show it to everyone."

George smiled and nodded, and clapped his hands.

His chief of staff, Freddie Ford, came up with some information to distribute.

When the senior officials in the White House began to read the plan that Abel had provided to George as early as Christmas.

Abel continued:

“I believe that developing new energy sources, reducing dependence on oil, and adopting supportive policies under the current U.S. economic situation will not only give birth to a new energy industry, but also create millions of jobs for the United States, while strengthening the U.S. economy.

energy security.”

"This can avoid the impact of the international oil crisis on the U.S. economy to a certain extent."

"Maybe it won't have large-scale infrastructure construction, or it will have an immediate effect by increasing tax rebates or tax cuts to stimulate investment and consumption, but economic recovery can't happen overnight, can it?"

"The most important thing is that we can take a multi-pronged approach. We can refund taxes, reduce taxes, or continue to implement other economic stimulus plans at the same time. There is no direct conflict between these."

"What's more important is that the Xiang Party promotes this kind of clean energy. This is also a slap in the face of the Donkey Party, which prides itself on environmental protection and opposes the excessive development of petroleum energy every day."

"Compared with the huge tax rebate plan, which may cost trillions of dollars or at least hundreds of billions of dollars, the new energy plan will not cost more than 50 billion U.S. dollars in the first few years."

"But once it succeeds, it will allow the United States to have a new advantageous industry. The stimulus and help to the economy can be said to be visible to the naked eye."

"..."

Abel tried to slow down his tone.
