Thursday June 4th Meeting #736
Austerity - The Moral Imperative
Dr. John Beesley, English Born Author, retired after a long career with Xerox (educated at London’s Imperial College and the University of Dalas, BSc MBA, PhD), will discuss how when right-wing governments come to power, they champion family values. The moral rectitude of living within one’s means is stressed. What is true for the family is even more important for the nation, they claim. Yet, when a nation imports more than it exports, a trade deficit results and the relative value of its currency fells. After WWII, the UK was perpetually in this position, and the value of the Pound fell year after year. Currently, the USA in now in the same position. The cure, it is claimed, is austerity - the policy of cutting government spending by reducing social benefits and allowing inflation to effectively reduce public spending. The problem is that this policy, called Austerity, does not work. John will explain what policies do work.

Statement on Free Speech
Our constitution and laws encourage the freest possible exchange of opinions, ideas, and information. In part, that recognizes our worth and dignity as human beings. To forbid us to speak our minds demeans us and makes us more like slaves or robots than citizens of a free country. But as important as freedom of expression is for us as individuals, it is perhaps more important to society at large.
