Charles Skelley: A beginning, not an end

This Presidential preference campaign has been exciting, and I want to commend editor Jim Nintzel for his efforts to help all of the Project White House candidates. I also want to thank the people of Arizona who voted for me.
My own campaign has emphasized “change for the better” and also “conservatively trying to keep [...]

Charles Skelley: Adam Smith’s economic principles can show how to correct the 35-year collapse of US Personal Saving

Various data inside the Grandfather Economic Report indicate that during 2006 the statistically average 2.5-person household in the US is burdened by approximately $409,000 of debt in various forms.
The average household has $123,000 for Financial sector debt (home mortgages to a government agency such as Ginnie Mae or Freddie Mac; plus debt to financing subsidiaries [...]

Charles Skelley: GAO “Wake Up” tour is in Tucson Jan 31 at 10 AM

My Presidential campaign will be attending this GAO event. And everyone who is interested in the future of the United States should also attend: Thursday Jan 31, 2008 at 10 AM

Charles Skelley: The US can generate 69% of its electricity from solar by 2050, generate 3 million new domestic jobs, switch to plug-in hybrid cars, reduce imported petroleum costs by $300 billion per year (referenced to 2007 dollars) and reduce CO2 emissions by 92% in 2100.

Quoting from Scientific American magazine:
It is paramount that major market incentives [for photovoltaic energy] remain in effect through 2020, to set the stage for self-sustained growth thereafter. In extending our model to 2050, we have been conservative. We do not include any technological or cost improvements beyond 2020. We also assume that energy demand will [...]

Charles Skelley: Adam Smith’s economics shows how to cure both the US Social security and healthcare problems

Life expectancy for US citizens at the age of 60 years has increased by 3 years since 1983, the last time Social Security was reformed. Therefore it is logical to study the effects of delaying the start of Social Security benefits by 3 years. A three-year delay could move the SS program [...]

Charles Skelley: It is time for a bipartisan “city’s rights” initiative in the US

I believe the time has come to group several big US cities together in a new economic unit, which will have “city’s’ rights”. Some basic models for my “city’s rights” program come from the Renaissance era in Europe. Wikipedia has several articles which discuss “City Rights” inside various countries: Netherlands and [...]

Charles Skelley: The Constitutional mandate to punish $53 Trillion of counterfeit US securities

Quoting the Constitution of the USA:
Article 1, Section 8: The Powers of Congress
“To provide for the Punishment of counterfeiting the Securities and current Coin of the United States;”
When interpreting the US Constitution, wherever it says Congress “may” do something, the Constitution actually means Congress “must” do something. Therefore Congress itself [...]

Charles Skelley: We don’t need the Liberals’ “pain caucus” as a solution to entitlement reform

Liberals in Congress insist on a “pain caucus” of tax increases, and Working Capital decreases, as the solution to entitlement reform. The Institute For Policy Innovation think tank says, in effect, that some candidate should run and win on the basis that entitlement reform can actually be accomplished by a Working Capital increase instead of [...]

Skelley Goes Nuclear!

As President, I will authorize the construction of a full scale Integral Fast Reactor nuclear power plant.
“the Integral Fast Reactor (IFR) pyroprocessing system … uses pools of molten cadmium and electrorefiners to reprocess metallic fuel directly on-site at the reactor[8]. Such systems not only commingle all the minor actinides with both uranium and plutonium, they [...]

Charles Skelley Takes On Mike Huckabee!

In response to the latest campaign challenge, Charles Skelley has targeted Mike Huckabee:
My Presidential plan differs from Republican candidate Mike Huckabee, in that I am presenting a specific plan to fix 50% of the magnitude of the long-term problems which have been pointed out by the GAO (Government Accountability Office). And I would begin [...]
