Productivity and Growth in America – An Economic Stagnation

Big Pharma/Healthcare has become the defining industry driving America’s economy.   In 2024, healthcare spending reached $5.3Trillion and employs over 18 million.  It is the number two industry for spending and employment, second to the US Government. These two industries combined represent 28% to 30% of all US employment.  They produce nothing of value to the economy, are both driven by sick people, and are the bulwarks and drivers of US growth.   

Which is not ‘growth’ at all.  Productivity is growth. Key factors which stimulate growth include technological innovation, investment in capital goods (machinery, infrastructure), improvements in human capital (education and training), and the accumulation of natural resources. What can we trade?  What can we sell?  The largest manufacturing employer in the US is Boeing.  The first quarter of 2026 revealed a 50% uptick in defense earnings driven by Boeing, Lockheed, Raytheon and Northrup.  None of which contributes to the ‘economy’ and stability of America.

The focus is a cycle of expansion, profit, more.  While providing Americans with a continual graveyard of less.  Other unproductive assets include Lawyers and Bankers.  Lawyers fight for their own profits and Bankers manage the Lawyers money.  They comprise upwards of 3 million in employment statistics.  Incoming generations looking for work are now rejected as AI replaces key growth industries – technology and education. Every Industrial Revolution creates this schism, leaving behind the old for the new, which will make life so much better and people ~ Happy…

We are not in a season of ‘happy’.  And the promise we are given is that everything will be much worse tomorrow.  The question remains, can we step out of this Matrix, or is this simply our destiny?

Modern warfare generally cripples long-term GDP, destroys infrastructure, and leaves a lasting economic burden, creating a “false boom” built on destroying wealth rather than creating it.  Trump wants Americans to foot the Bill for the destruction in the Middle East.  Each country is estimating their respective damage, not including lost revenue, is in the range of $60 Billion+.  Those countries include Iran, Qatar, UAE, Kuwait, Bahrain, and Saudi Arabia. Total Tab $360 billion to $400 billion not including America’s losses. On a military budget of $1.5 trillion which equates to the largest industry responsible for ‘deficit spending’.

Data Centers service technology including AI.  Not through productivity and growth, but in maintaining the lost human capital while depleting water resources which will impair agriculture, ranches and drinking water for millions.  With more online, Texas Data Centers now use 50 billion gallons of water annually.  The entire city of Austin uses 45.6 billion gallons of water annually hosting 61 data centers.  Residents are on severe water restrictions.  AI will require a 300% to 400% increase in water useage.  And governments tell citizens to conserve in order for AI to exist.  Growth?  Productivity?  No.  An Industrial Revolution directly devaluing not just human capital – but humanity.

Israel has come up with a solution – desalinization plants across the coastlines – built  by an Israeli company, IDE Technologies. A private company fully owned by Alfa Water Partners, run by CEO – Alon Tevor.  Three wastewater treatment plants have already been built by them in America; Colorado, California, and Florida.  The cost for a desalinization plant is roughly $1.7 Billion and takes 5 years to build.

Avshalom Felber is the owner of Alfa Water Partners involved in a fraud scheme wherein they used a shell company they claimed was based in Switzerland to get contracts from the Saudis, Pakistan and Kuwait. The Middle East boycotts desalinization contracts with Israel.

America needs a blueprint.  A new economic model.  A means of fairly sharing resources.  Otherwise, we will be importing everything and exporting nothing.  It is already a given that our debt is never going to diminish and continue to grow until other countries simply refuse to take our money as it deflates on a daily basis.  Crypto?

Trump and Melania have both issued their own memecoins – they retained 75% of sales profiting nicely while the valuations tanked. January 19, 2025, Trump’s memecoin reached $45.47, today it is valued at $2.20 to $2.50, a fifteen-month loss of 95%.  He considers himself a Crypto Genius.  The conglomerate, World Liberty, is 49% owned by the UAE.  There are 24.67 billion tokens in circulation with a valuation of 7.2cents per token and $1.776 billion total.  The UAE’s share is thus $870 million.

Memecoin gambling – The Casino Effect.  Nothing of value produced.  All this money and nothing.  This is a perfect example of the Economic BUST that Trump and his Mafia Partners are producing for America.  Add WAR to the equation, and America is spiraling rapidly into a black hole.

Mass production of robots is a few years away with Tesla Optimus, UBTECH Walker, Agibot and Unitree Robotics.  Made in China with the exception of Tesla.

 WHEN You Do As Your Enemy Does – You Become The Enemy

The American Empire of Trump’s Investment Pledges:   Heavily weighted on AI Data Centers and Pharma.  Neither of which produce economic growth on behalf of consumers.  Data Centers add cost to every business, including utilities and water which are heavily weighted.  Water;  one data center can use upwards of a million gallons daily.  Electricity;  one data center can use the same amount of electricity as an entire town.  Pharma does not add to growth – they add to injury and death. 

These are not Economic boosters – they are nightmares.  Data Centers are like Banks – nonproducing economic drains.  Defense spending needs to be cut by 70%.  It does NOT add to the economy – it is a toilet emptying into a sewer.  We need unimpeded trade.  Manufacturing is a dying art in America.  Revitalizing it without ‘workers’ is a dead fish stinking up the sewer.  Trump is focusing on elites which in the long term is simply another toilet.  Elites don’t produce, They don’t work. 

The $18 Trillion in Investments has been redefined as $9.7 Trillion weighted between Middle East Pledges with the exclusion of Israel which produces IDF mercenaries.  Somehow, Japan’s initial ten year pledge of $490 billion has ratcheted up to $1 trillion per the White House… Does Japan know?  Because Japan’s government/economy is heavily indebted –   ranking number one in the world at over 250% of GDP. 

META has pledged $600 Billion on Net Equity of $182 Billion.  Its pledge is based on AI and ‘workforce expansion’ which has so far resulted in 4600 layoffs and an announcement that 10% more are forthcoming.  APPLE has also announced major restructuring.  It’s Balance Sheet reveals current assets short roughly $20 billion compared to current assets.  Net equity of $73 Billion.   

Pledges.  Are only as good as the air we breathe – remastered by chemtrails and toxins.  The fact that Trump desperately needs adulation is indicative of a man whose façade is deception.  Having been married to a psychologically diagnosed narcissist – I have become intimately aware of the traits.  Pathological lying is ALWAYS one of the prominent symptoms.

Middle East pledges are typically defense and pharma related.  Like Defense, Pharma does not add to economic growth because it creates disease and disease means death.  The White House is either grossly deluded or grossly deluding when it purports to state that these ‘Investments’ have ANY positive effect on the standard of living for Americans. 

The biggest drivers of a good economy for consumers are built on wage growth, stable prices, low interest rates, and rising asset values – particularly housing.   Wage Growth has been artificially linked to false inflation numbers.  Prices have risen 50% when inflation is clocked at 2%.  Trump called for a 10% interest cap on credit cards to which not ONE has agreed to the ‘suggestion’.  Why?  Because it is not a law.  It is merely a superficial request.  Like a pledge.  Like a pinky swear.  Like – when my ship rolls in…

Trump is simply Biden with a different AI projection.  An illusion.    

Delusions of Grandeur have consumed politicians and bankers and we need to extricate these human imposters before The Georgia Guidestones become our reality.  Of course, the $1.598 question is – How?  History answers the question.  But it also reveals that the sewage has never been fully cleansed of its putrid toxins and instead humanity bought time.   Before the cycle was reborn.  Each time, more evil than the last.  As though Hell itself was opened upon earth.

This concept is being played out between Russia and Ukraine as Putin slowly comes to the realization that a peace deal on a piece of paper is meaningless.  The only answer to the elimination of evil is its complete eradication.  While various journalists including Seymour Hersh radically denounce Russia for not being more formidable in their destruction of humanity, Putin’s deterrence was rooted in humanity – and unless you have been assigned this military command you can’t possibly understand.  Zelenskky, Trump, Netanyahu are aligned in a psychological Babylonian construct.  Killing innocent persons – For The Greater Good – would be Hersh’s Means of Ending Conflict.

A decision that for a true Christian is untenable in the sight of God.  Hindsight is always the greatest insight.  As I have stated before – when you do as they do – you become the enemy you fight.  A difficult decision for a man. 

President Trump’s Announced Investment Pledges Beneficiaries

The Trump teams impressive announcement of new investments pledged for America is worthy of a bit of analysis.  For example:

Apple:  has pledged a $600 billion investment for “US manufacturing and workforce training”.  Apple’s Net Worth is $56.9 billion.  Current Cash is $61 Billion on Current Liabilities of $95 Billion.   Where will they find $600 Billion?  The Money Changers?

Project Stargate:    Japan-based Softbank and U.S.-based OpenAI and Oracle, announced  a $500 billion private investment in U.S.-based artificial intelligence infrastructure, ie data processing.  Softbank’s working capital is (-$3 Trillion).  OpenAI, currently a nonprofit, to Hit $12.7 Billion in Revenue This Year. But Won’t Be Profitable Until $125 Billion in Revenue, Per Bloomberg.  Oracle’s financial statements reveal Net Equity of just $20 Billion. 

The vast majority of these proposed ‘pledges of investment’ are for data centers and Big Pharma research toward more Vaccines, including Sanofi, Eli Lilly, Johnson & Johnson, Astra Zeneca, Roche, etc…  The benefit to the average citizen is virtually nonexistent.  Data Centers facilitate entertainment streaming, internet and computer services, provide the necessary hosting infrastructure for robotics and AI, and in the short term enhance construction.  Trump’s enhancement of Big Pharma is a direct attack on the health of American citizens.

The Trump Time Warp:

Meanwhile, instead of Trump pushing for more investment in the next generation of fuel, hydrogen, he is opening federal land and coastal seas to more oil drilling, further harming the environment.  The plague of the mindset running the White House initiatives  now includes building a ‘ballroom’ as a priority over solving the exponential rise of the cost of living.  

Innovation is tabled as China takes the lead.  From a future standpoint, the US is on an economic death spiral.  It takes 3-6 years to build to fruition a large Data Center.  A large center uses upwards of 5 million gallons of water daily – insurmountable in a fragile resource environment. 

The next generation of chips are being made from gallium instead of silicon.  China holds 83% to 90% of those global reserves and thus is holding the cards in the tech advancement.  However, it is inevitable that gallium will be replaced by another more viable means of energy as evolution is the mainstay of technology.  So, instead of building data centers that may very well be obsolete by the time they come onboard, it would make more sense to advance the evolution. 

In the midst of the trade and tech war with China, Xi Jinping has announced a Five Point Plan:  rapid tech development, economic development, self-reliance, national security and improving people’s livelihoods.  Amidst an upcoming meeting with Trump and Jinping, Trump still thinks he has the upper hand and has taken a temporary conciliatory tone to the talks which could easily upend into rage and threats of Hiroshima.  Something Jinping is all too aware of as he watches the hypocrisy afforded Russia.  An ally for a day.  This has become the Trump rhetoric which is viewed with fear internationally and yet Maga seem oblivious.  Extending the yardstick to the length of a football field.

Quantum physics is the next generation being researched and tested by China, Russia and the US in the race for supremacy.  The difference is that Russia and China are ‘collaborating’ instead of competing, bumping the US to third place.  While quantum computing would still require data centers, the facility infrastructure would be wholly different and require specialized and unique hardware, shielding, noise reduction and cooling mechanisms

Whether Trump’s ‘investment deals’ ever come to fruition would necessitate more than a pledge and a vague description.  Spiking a number of global wars will NOT benefit any of these investments and could demonstrate that the War Department is the ONLY specific agenda while everything else is just noise and deflection.  Putin has made it clear that he is done with Trump’s checkers mess and tomahawks and strikes inside Russia could have global ramifications that will send development into the stone age. 

Both China and Russia have  emphatically stated they are through with the Flip-Flop King’s highly antagonistic, robustly psychotic, and toxic bombast childish and unstable.  The world has moved on from the American Bullypit and is focused on advancement in unity.

Foreign Pledges Per The White House Total $8.7 Trillion

According to the US Treasury statement of deposits and withdrawals as of Friday, August 22, 2025, the net deficit spending for the fiscal year 2025 currently stands at ($1.5) Trillion which includes $264 billion in ‘unclassified’, Federal Salaries of $222 billion, Medicaid grants to states of $591 billion, Medicare Prescription payments to Pharma $147 billion and interest on Treasuries of $560 billion. 

According to a White House Release:  “Made possible by President Trump’s leadership — The U.S. has seen a surge of private and foreign investment that are fueling job growth, innovation, and opportunity across every corner of the country. $8.7 Trillion.”  The heavy hitters include;  UAE, Qatar, Japan, Apple, Saudi Arabia and the EU accounting for roughly $5.4 Trillion. 

Where specifically are the investments allocated? 
UAE:  $100 billion to BlackRock, Nvidia, Microsoft and GIP Data Centers.  $25 billion to ADQ and US Energy Capital Partners for – data centers.  A new aluminum smelter.  And a ‘commitment to support’ US natural gas exports.  According to McKinsey, by 2030, the mark of the beast, global data centers will cost $6.7 trillion to operate.  The current data center capital for the US is Virginia. 

Digital Realty has the largest footprint of data centers partnering with Nvidia, Microsoft, AWS, Google, Oracle and IBM.  With over 300 data centers worldwide, Digital realty operates in over 25 countries and prides itself on its ESG sustainability in compliance with the World Economic Forum.  

The payscale for technicians at Amazon data centers averages $48 – $75k per year including bonuses.  The environmental impact primarily concerns resource consumption. They require vast amounts of energy and water for cooling, contribute to greenhouse gas emissions, and can create noise and air pollution. Additionally, they generate electronic waste and face challenges with scalability and maintenance. 

The cooling system in a single large scale data center uses 5 million gallons of water ‘daily’.  The water becomes toxic waste water and is discharged into the localities sewage system.   The U.S. Department of Energy indicates that data centers will consume as much as 580 TWh annually in 2028, which will double by 2030 130x more than a nuclear plant generates representing 12% of our current grid.   

The Qatar Deal pledged at $1.2 trillion includes the purchase of $96 billion in Boeing aircraft over the next decade or more.  Given Boeing’s disastrous reputation which includes a total of 529 aviation accidents and incidents involving all 737 aircraft which have resulted in a total of 5,779 fatalities and 234 hull losses, I imagine oversight will be included in the Qatar deal.   The remainder of the pledge is ‘unidentified’.         

Deals and Pledges are a positive investment overall, but these will enrich big companies and their executives much more than American citizens.  Given Boeing and Lockheed are defense contractors of the DoD, it is unclear the avenues these funds will take.  Boeing currently has over 100 unfilled engineering jobs.  Will the 600,000 Chinese students Trump is processing into American Universities fill the vacancies? 

As the more highly skilled Boomers retire, there is a skill gap in engineering.  How is Trump planning to alter this trajectory?  Reskilling and upskilling is necessary as the void in technology adaptation and university solutions seem unable to maintain a match in need.  The highest paid engineering field is in AI, Blockchain and high frequency trading.  Blockchain and trading have no benefit to society.  AI replaces lower level workers such as the technicians at data centers.

Trump’s White House is filled with lawyers and hedge fund managers.  They are collectively incapable of putting together an economic analysis and blueprint necessary to avoid shortages and pitfalls. The Economists advising Trump are not stellar in their field.  Their primary status was as college teachers/without professeurship status.

Tyler Goodspeed is the Acting Chair of Council of Economic Advisors.  His forte is economic history and writing.  Stephen Miran was nominated and confirmed however he is currently filling in at the Federal Reserve having assisted in the development of the Tariffs and the One Big Beautiful Bill.  Miran spent some time at the Manhattan Institute during the Pandemic. 

Current economic advisors to Trump include:

Kevin Hassett – who has worked previously with Mitt Romney, Clinton, McCain and Bush.  He currently writes for Bloomberg and believes immigration spurs growth.

Peter Navarro – whose career was dominated as a teacher while writing numerous books.  His primary focus is China Bad.

Stephen Miller – who seems to be taking the lead baton.  As a Jew, his focus is on eliminating Islam under the concept that they are inferior scum.  Albeit taking their money seems to quell this fever temporarily.

While focusing on trade and tariffs, the economic advisory council would appear deficient in the actual broadband range of what economics entails including  how to prepare for the controversies of mass production of data centers and the electric grid.   How to reduce ‘spending’.  And the DOGE fraud allegations within departments.  Alas, we do have time given the vast majority of pledges have yet to take effect and will transpire over the next decade.
