The treaty rejection, is a significant opportunity.
You can position Ireland by requesting that the EU Parliament take up, in the EU expansion context; to develop, implement and operate and realize a Member Nation specific accurturation, of the NEW economic paradigm the “Integration of Labour-sm,” as world class Global Technologic Infrastructure-GTI, as a compromise for your pushing a NEW referundum. With such GTI development beginning in the EU, with a prototype in Ireland, to be jointly developed with the UK and Scotland. As this will create tens of thousands of domestic content sustainable, good paying jobs, in Ireland, the UK and Scotland and in fact it will also most probably bring some of Ireland’s Diaspora home. I am the author of the NEW economic paradigm and Obama’s people are pushing this development for America’s economy. I am it’s author and an American citizen and I live in Jerusalem for the past 22 years. I was formerly Michael F. O’Donnell, my grandparents came from Ireland and I’ve a daughter who is an Irish citizen; Mariel Rosin, she’s 25 and living in America.
Thanks and do please take up this vital matter.

“UK and Scotland”? That’s like saying Washington DC and the United States…
And thanks for your comment. I think…

THE US - ECONOMY IS & WILL REMAIN THE ELECTION’S CENTRAL ‘NARRATIVE,’ AS THE SOLUTION IT NOW NEEDS, IS TO ‘TRANSITION,’ ITSELF & THIS MEANS, A TRANSFORMATION,’ OF EVERY STATE’S ECONOMY…
THE ANSWER - TO WHY BIDEN, IS A POST PARTISAN POLITIAL POSTURING CHOICE… FOR OBAMA, AND SO POSSIBLY HE’S NOT THE BEST CHOICE?
Why Joe Biden may NOT be the best choice, as he contributes the least to the now needed SOLUTION, while it’s recognizable, for Obama, it’s the safe choice; while the winning choice, would have been Tim Kaine. Why? It would have signaled Obama’s correctly perceived mission, as brining the “Virginia Model,” to all the states of the United States of America, which is the SOLUTION to fixing the economy.
While his choice confirms he does NOT as yet know, how to do this, while responding to his perceived political weakness and this is, in part, Obama’s “post partisan political posturing,” after both RNC and DNC frameworks already theoretically concur, in the fact that the Macro SOLUTION, to fix the US economy is the NEW economic paradigm, the “Integration of Labor(sm),” when legislated, developed and implemented, as US based NEW world class New Global Technologic Infrastructure-GTI.
INSIGHTS INTO THE RATIONALE OF THIS POSITION
Obama’s Poetry so far, has merely in part explained, a little of where we’re Going & What we have to do, to get there, while his continuing problem is, his story lacks the Prose. As the Prose, Explains How We Execute going forward and Getting to The Goal, of Making Things Better, for All Americans?
Obama’s Poetry, and McCain’s Prose, is NOT as yet how we get there.
THE MACRO ISSUE(S)
WHAT Now Creates Macro ‘Sustainable’ Demand, is also What Generates The Nation’s Growth and Wealth Creation for our Needs, as JOBS, JOBS, JOBS, for All Americans! How?
Yehoshua’s Poetry ANSWER is, ‘Humanomics’ in general and its NEW economic paradigm the “Integration of Labor-sm” in particular; as NEW Global Technologic Infrastructure-GTI, as this is HOW we bring the “Virginia Model,” to all the States, and Cities, of the United States of America.
Yehoshua’s Prose, is for the DNC/RNC campaigns to mandate, the now required post partisan political posturing AFTER the election, with a composite public and Congressional consensus, to mandate, development, implementation operation and national acculturation, of the new paradigm’s model as the US’s new GTI, as this means JOBS, JOBS, JOBS…for all Americans, in every state.
THE ISSUES OF HOW?
The Chicago school asks whether… executed through Markets vs Government, or other means? The ANSWER is both, with the requisite new national leadership.
Since its implementation requires a national mandate to be sought and secured, from the Government(s) by the new President, for his administration to act to Authorize and Organize, the NEW economic paradigm model’s national development, as the NEW Global Technologic Infrastructure-GTI… And hereafter, it’s Market(s) are the best means to Execute its development, Implementation and Scaled Operation(s) and state by state acculturation nationally.
THE SUBJECT FOCUS, IS THE ECONOMY & FIXING IT
The economy is the election’s central narrative, while The NEW Economic Paradigm’s development is the Poetry to Prose, ANSWER(s) that the Public will Trust, in answering its Central Question(s) Regarding its pending Leadership Choice…which is, “Who Can Explain, To Us, Where The Country Is Going?” As this is the one we can trust!
Again, the ANSWER is Towards Humanomics NEW East West ‘convergence model’ ONLY after the required post partisan political posturing ends, in Washington, and the macro US means necessary to SOLVE the economy’s problem(s) is in part, in place and progressing; as we cannot afford to miss this opportunity nor be allowed to be misled through the candidates limitations to wrongly perceive this as beyond the US elections horizon, as this is its ONLY, HORIZON solution.
Why? Because for NOW, We First Need Sustainable Macro Growth, Equality and This Means, developing and implementing, nationally, the “Virginia Model.” As How We Achieve National Growth and Fairness; For All Americans with ‘Humanomics’ convergence model in general and its NEW economic paradigm the ”Integration of Labor(sm).”
AGAIN, since this means JOBS, JOBS, JOBS, That Are Sustainable and Good Paying, for All Americans NOW, and it shows us HOW we get them? Again, with the new economic paradigm Model, with its macro new GTI… Obama Says “we need an end to the government’s unresponsiveness and inefficiency”… Absolutely, YES, but this is the poetry, we also need the prose, that delivers the “good paying JOBS.”
Yehoshua Says “We need the beginning, of our Nation’s sustainable growth, that today, means, the “Virginia Model,” nationalized; for massively creating tens of millions of good paying jobs, in every state. How? With Humanomics in general and its new economic paradigm, the “Integration of Labor(sm),” in particular, as new ‘GTI.’
As ONLY this will move us beyond, what is fast today becoming the “post partisan political posturing” of the candidates, that is NOT responsive to the nation’s need(s) nor are they even debating, what is NOW the election’s central issue, again THE ECONOMY, on the level(s) required (as herein articulated).
What ‘Markets’ Are Good At, is supply side organization and execution of the development of products and services, usually at least cost, to scale. WHILE Markets, Are generally NOT Good At, the development of technologic and physical infrastructure, education natural disaster support(s) and foreign aid.
Government(s) are generally good at education, technologic (only partially, as yet) and physical infrastructure, transfer payments, education, laws, regulation and enforcement; to name just a few things. Obama says the market(s) need fixing.
Yehoshua says, the Market(s) needs an underlying moral and ethical imperative(s) that directs them, to RESTORE order and the public’s trust; and herein direct them toward the requisite legislative and regulatory mechanisms to focus on ‘what’ they’re to do, to attain nationally “the Virginia Model” in every state and also to limit their function(s) to prevent excesses and abuse of the public trust’s, in relation to what they are NOT to do and hereafter leave them unimpeded to execute the how, themselves.
Yehoshua says, this is since ‘laissez-faire’ has failed to deliver its promises; creating large deficits and significant and continuing income(s) inequality, certain to continue and worsen, absent the proper direction and intervention(s) as is now required; as above and in counterpart.
Yehoshua says the underlying distributional issue(s) is solvable, ONLY through the NEW economic paradigm’s new policy development and actual physical new GTI development approach, since it is NOT redistributionist and it requires, that it be matched with the sustained requisite Market(s) actions; NOW needed to massively reallocate its resources, to achieve the “Virginia Model,” in every state of the US, as the ONLY way to achieve the now required significant macro economic sustainable GROWTH for the US economy, AGAIN as good paying JOBS in every state…
Yehoshua says ONLY such sustained GROWTH can and will develop the SOLUTIONS for the inequality problem(s), while delivering the required new ‘GTI’ technologies, to scale, that will in combination, eventually, overcome the slowing of educational attainment(s) nationally, shriveling of union representation(s), increasing one parent families and competition from the low wage countries; while all this is made worse by Bush’s an extremely biased tax code, that’s also to be fixed.
IRRATIONAL BEHAVIORAL ECONOMICS, ITS PROBLEM(S) & IMPLICATIONS
Yehoshua says, despite the worsening decline(s), with few exceptions (like in Virginia, with average incomes 7.5% above the national average) in family income, Americans continue to buy, on credit and much of this credit will NOT be repaid; as this behavior the research confirms, is rooted in an underlying macro market(s) anger, as ‘push back,’ at the worsening inequality in the macro economy. As not ONLY has the economy changed, fundamentally, so too has the world CHANGED as well, fundamentally, with the “integration of labor markets,” while organized labor wants the US to move in reverse, and restore trade barriers and this too is another macro error.
The post partisan political posturing of McCain and Obama, must end, and get on with the real DEBATE on the US economy and where its going; and HOW we get the SOLUTION. And although this is normal to election(s) posturing, it’s significantly missing our “vetting” the central issue(s), namely what is the SOLUTION to “what creates and sustains DEMAND and thus wealth?” and how do we together secure the ANSWER for all Americans.
While for example Obama claims the safety of Clinton centrism, implicit criticism(s) of the welfare state’s redistribution(s) in relation to its ongoing and planned programs; and conservative Reaganomics, is praised, to complete, his not as yet credible iconic matrix translator of Friedman’s laissez-faire philosophy, itself, no longer credible with the public in general; while the macro economic SOLUTION still evades both candidates, as neither has as yet any real solution, as none as yet exists, for the candidates, confirmed in their composite perceptions and/or articulations, to fix the economy and sustain its macro growth, while what is on offer is at best merely fragments, of the solution.
Consensus Democrats, are focused on the inequality issue, while believing they can produce a government program, to fix the market’s failures, by using its macro mechanisms, within this vague general program’s articulation; while as such they’re claiming to be conservative Democrats. While it’s to be NOTED that this is NOT likely to be sufficiently trusted, to the level of being elected; if this is the story either or both, continue to spin present and promise the electorate; as it’s simply NOT credible; as it’s an empty bucket, with large holes in the bottom.
The NEW economic paradigm is the “Integration of Labor(sm) that’s for bringing JOBS nationally to every state, obviously, this is the national version of the “Virginia Model,” and this is the poetry, made credible prose, as it too is the story, that is the one that we’ve all been waiting to hear, that tells us where we’re NOW going, why and HOW we get to our goal(s). Please listen my fellow Americans, it’s the PROSE the Americans must elect, NOT the poetry; and so are you listening, Barack, and John.
One scenario wherein the Biden choice, proves absolutely brilliant, is that he’s the best of all the candidates in marketing the ticket, and this will count significantly, in the US’s marketing to the G-9, their strategic partnering, in financing and developing the new economic paradigm’s GTI, at a shared investment of three trillion dollars.
