Bush's Action on Steel Tariffs Means
the Real Economy Is Back on the Agenda
The near-collapse of the U.S. steel industry forced the President to shift from a "free trade" to "fair trade" position to save the U.S. steel sector. The decision has far-reaching implications domestically and abroad.
The Tariff Itself Is Not Europe's Problem
By Lyndon H. LaRouche, Jr. President Bush's decision "portends what will probably become, rather suddenly, the most portentous, systemic shift in world-wide economic policy in thirty years. . . . Does the increased tariff on steel imports mean a collapse of Europe's exports to the U.S.A.? In and of itself, the answer is: `It does not constitute such a threat.' "

In the United States, Wet Dreams of Recovery Run On
The Recovery is coming!, the refrain of a gaggle of financial Chicken Littles, is based on the very real fear that the global financial system is coming down. They are desperate to keep their failing bubble going, and to head off the only viable alternative, the New Bretton Woods proposal of Lyndon LaRouche.

Money-Pumping Won't Stop Industrial Collapse
A March 5 interview with Lyndon H. LaRouche, Jr., conducted by Salt Lake City radio talk show host Jack Stockwell. Those who are pumping liquidity into the economy, LaRouche said, "were talking about the `recovery'—it's like Dracula, as I call it—promising the suckers a midnight recovery. And the suckers are buying." But the whole system is coming down, and hyperinflationary money-pumping only makes the collapse of physical production that much worse.

Open Reply To Ari Fleischer:
Peace Between Two Presidents
By Lyndon H. LaRouche, Jr. "On the subject of President William Clinton's role in Middle East peace negotiations, he made only two notable mistakes: . . . he allowed the exclusion of the two issues on which an actual Middle East peace depends, absolutely: the issue of economic development, and especially, the issue of mass desalination."
