America's Road to Wealth

Chapter 401
When Zipperton left the White House with a smile on his face, he became the former President of the United States.

All of America applauds him.

Because during his tenure as President of the United States, he achieved a rare financial surplus among the previous Presidents.

To put it simply, other great commanders will have fiscal deficits during their tenure.

The vast majority of American leaders are like this.

During Zipperton's tenure, when he retired, not only was there no deficit, but a slight surplus.

In this situation, Zipperton has enjoyed a lot of praise.

Many people say that he is a very successful American leader.

The United States also achieved the world's first place under his tenure, and the achievement of no competitor in the world.

But... is Zipperton really that powerful?
In fact, Zipperton can achieve a slight fiscal surplus in the United States.

The proportion of his credit is definitely not as large as imagined.

Because at that time, anyone would be the president of the United States for the two terms.

They will all be able to make America's finances easier like Zipperton.

The reason is also very simple, whoever is the commander-in-chief, let the United States eat such a large corpse, the corpse of the real second child in the world.

He can make the United States, and even the entire Western economy, greatly supplemented and satisfied!

The real reason why the United States achieved great economic development in the 90s and was able to achieve financial surplus.

It's not about who is the leader, but the downfall of the Red Bear and the emergence of the Internet.

These two things, they have little to do with Zipperton.

Let’s talk about the red bear first. Its downfall is the final result of decades of painstaking resistance by the entire Western world, plus the red bear’s own death.

Secondly, the Internet industry, which has already emerged as early as the 1960s.And the first American leader to vigorously promote it was the actor leader Mr. Li Gen.

By the time Zipperton took to the stage, both of those things had already fallen into place.

Anyone in office can easily make them.

If Zipper was given a Huaxia posthumous title, then he should be Meixiangzong.

A man who has spent his entire life sitting back and enjoying the best 8 years in the history of the United States.

When Zipperton, the American scholar, retired and George was elected as the 43rd President of the United States.

The Internet, which has allowed the rapid growth of US GDP for nearly a decade, has become a bubble and burst.

Everyone knew that what greeted George was not only flowers and applause, but also a serious crisis.

How to crack the economic problem has become an important task for the new owner of the White House.

Since April 2000, the U.S. economy has been in recession, consumption has shrunk, unemployment has increased, industrial manufacturing has become hollow, the financial market has been violently turbulent, and Nasdaq has suffered numerous losses...

Many "big mac" companies, which are the symbols of the US economy, are also struggling to fall to the bottom.

Among a series of economic challenges, rising unemployment is a major concern at present.

But when George first came on stage, it was a rubber stamp.

He was just a spokesperson pushed up by the military-industrial complex by chance.

In order to appease the unemployment sentiment of the people and boost market confidence, George has repeatedly emphasized that one of his main focus after taking office is to strive for more job opportunities for the people.

Well, basically every American leader has a similar declaration.

The "magic wand" in George's hand is the economic recovery plan known as the "George New Deal" by the outside world, which has been the focus of attention of all parties since he took office.

The entire plan of the "George New Deal", as well as the theory, had been announced to the public before he came to power.

George and his staff pursued a "hybrid" (that is, a combination of Keynesianism and liberalism) economic policy.

In order to deal with the sharp economic slowdown, George intends to adopt the Keynesian "anti-crisis" concept and stimulate the economy through government intervention.

Especially through big tax cuts to increase consumer spending and business investment to stimulate economic growth.

At the same time, the George government will implement the concept of liberalism, and play the role of market regulation and reduce the role of the government under normal economic conditions.

The simplest and crudest way to do this is to cut taxes.

It is similar to quantitative easing, the same economic medicine.

However, in order to pass the Congress smoothly, compromises and exchanges between multiple parties are required to finally achieve the goal.

The George's government in the early stage was just a rubber stamp.

Of course, any of his positive policies will not be adopted.

To put it bluntly, fortunately, the [-]/[-] incident happened.

After successfully launching a war abroad, George is now in full swing in the country. After all, the US military has not yet fallen into a quagmire on the battlefield.

George and his team also set their sights on domestic economic issues in the United States for the first time.

The Fed's first attempt at the US version of quantitative easing was their first effort.

In addition, this inspection of various states across the country is the beginning of the George administration's attempt to curb the economic decline and boost public confidence.

However, everything that happened in the parallel time and space proved that George and his team are scumbags in the economy.

It can't even compare to the view of the sea in the back.

The U.S. economy really began to decline when George was in office.

The fuse of the worst economic crisis in the history of the capital world was created by George and his team...

And Abel, who already regards the United States as his base, does not want this to happen.

Although Abel knows that the overall decline of the American economy does not lie in a certain individual or group.

It is the inevitable result of the pursuit of interests by the entire American capitalist layer, and even capitalists all over the world.

Abel also knew that there was no way he could stop this from happening.

Because that is to be against all capitalists in the entire United States.

Abel is not Master Luo, so he will not go against all American capitalists for the future of the United States, and eventually burn himself and his family.

What Abel wants to do is to seek sufficient benefits for himself in the slow but inevitable decline of the United States.

Now in front of George and his team, what Abel has to do is to speak for his own interests.

In front of everyone in the White House, Abel took a sip of coffee.

He leaned forward and put the coffee cup back on the table, looked at everyone and said with a smile:

"Here, I would like to offer you a suggestion. That is, perhaps the White House can incorporate "new energy" into the economic stimulus plan."

The new treasurer, John Snow, knows why he is in the job.

He was grateful to Abel, and asked very flatteringly:
"Excuse me, Mr. Smith, what is new energy?"

Abel nodded and said with a smile, "Good question."

"Since it is a new energy, of course it can be called a new energy only after it shows different characteristics compared with the old fossil energy, such as petroleum."

Abel was talking, and he looked at George, "Dear George, maybe you can show my plan to everyone."

George nodded with a smile, and he clapped his palms.

His chief of staff, Freddie Ford, came up with some materials to distribute.

When the senior officials of the White House began to read the plan that Abel had provided to George as early as Christmas.

Abel continued:
"I believe that developing new energy sources, reducing dependence on oil, and adopting supportive policies under the current US economic situation will not only give birth to a new energy industry, but also create millions of jobs for the United States, while strengthening the United States. energy security.”

"This can to a certain extent avoid the impact of the international oil crisis on the US economy."

"Maybe it doesn't have a massive infrastructure build, or boost investment and consumption through increased tax rebates or tax cuts, but economic recovery can't happen overnight, can it?!"

"The bottom line is that we can do it together. We can have tax rebates, we can cut taxes, and we can continue to push other economic stimulus programs at the same time. There is no direct conflict between these two."

"More importantly, the Elephant Party promotes this kind of clean energy. This is also a slap in the face of the donkey party who claim to be environmentally friendly and oppose the excessive development of petroleum energy every day."

"Compared to a huge tax rebate plan that may reach trillions of dollars, at least hundreds of billions of dollars are needed. The new energy plan will cost no more than 500 billion dollars in the first few years."

"But once it succeeds, it will allow the United States to have a new advantageous industry. The stimulus and help to the economy can be seen with the naked eye."

"..."

Abel tried to slow down his tone of voice.

Convince George and his administration with language skills calibrated by a special expert master.

A businessman in Huaxia later said, "In the wind, even pigs can fly."

When others start a business, they go for the wind.

And now, Abel is trying to create an outlet, a new track, a new industry and a new industrial chain.

That's right, what he, George and the White House team are discussing this time is the issue of new energy vehicles.

Abel's Tesla company needs to grow rapidly. Can the new energy industry chain in the United States he planned appear earlier?

The federal government's positive policy support is definitely a key link.

Why are new energy vehicles in later generations able to shake fuel vehicles to the brink?
Is it because of new energy vehicles, its energy is new, and its technology is good?
neither.

It can achieve this level, the most important thing is the tacit support of the United States and China, as well as a certain degree of suppression of the old fuel car power.

Let's put it this way, new energy vehicles are purely the product of positive policies from the very beginning.

Originally, it was part of the numerous economic stimulus plans launched by the Guanhai team in order to deal with the economic crisis and improve public confidence in the United States during the Haiguan era.

Who would have thought that it would succeed.

Abel's approach was to directly copy this approach in the George era in advance.

By lobbying the White House, let the White House come forward to support the correct policy in this regard, and create this track almost seven or eight years in advance.

He has been planning this matter for a long time, since the establishment of Tesla.

It's been almost two years now.

George was a rubber stamp before, and he didn't force the other party to help him.

Now that George is in power, it is the time when he has the right not to use the bastard.

Seizing the right opportunity, Abel naturally took it directly.

Looking at the senior officials of the White House who were reading the plan with their heads down, Abel, who had been talking for several minutes, finally stopped.

He looked at George, but George smiled and waved at him, "Let them have a look, and then have a good discussion. Let's go to the back and chat, don't disturb them."

Abel nodded and walked towards George.

But George waved at his chief of staff, Freddy Ford, "Freddy, come here too..."

The Chief of Staff nodded, followed Abel, and George turned and went to another room.

After the figures of the three disappeared, the new Finance Minister John Snow raised his head and looked in the direction the three left.

John Snow took a deep breath and continued to read the new energy plan written by Abel's advisory team for almost a year.

In the corridor of the hotel.

When walking towards the destination, George said casually:
"Freddy, do you think Abel's proposal is feasible? The new energy plan, oh, it looks like it has nothing to do with us oil diggers!"

As George's most important confidant, Freddie Ford had actually read the plan a long time ago.

In the plan, it mainly lists the parameters of new energy technologies, and various green energy concepts that can make environmental organizations collectively climax.

It can even be completely open, and the public will not be able to find the slightest fault.

Who dares to say that it is not, that is not environmentally friendly, that is polluting the environment!

But Freddie knew that what George was asking was not what was in the plan.

What George cares about is the part that is not listed in the new energy plan provided by Abel.

"It does look very feasible. The key is that the upfront cost is not high."

Freddie Ford offered George advice in as inoffensive a way as possible.

"Maybe you can try it. If you succeed, you will create a brand new industry for the United States in your tenure. A high-quality industrial chain that may provide hundreds of thousands of jobs."

"Come on." Abel suddenly said, walking in the corridor and said with a smile:
"George, didn't I say it? Don't worry, those energy guys, they will support it."

Watch the confident Abe, and Freddie Ford in action.

In George's heart, a decision had been made at this time.

The current President of the United States said with a smile:
"Okay. Just like what you said. If your new energy plan really goes well, then everyone just replaced oil with another mineral deposit. They didn't even change the industry. They really didn't Congress objected."

Abel shrugged.

The new energy plan promoted by the United States.

In later generations, Germany and Neon, two powerless opponents, were excluded.

Its biggest opponents come from within the United States.

Because new energy, new energy, its name seems to be opposite to the old oil energy and other industries.

In addition, from the very beginning, it was still an economic strategy advocated by the donkey party.

The energy tycoons who support the Xiang Party will naturally oppose its implementation and appearance.

George, as the government of the Elephant Party, if he pushes it, what he fears most is the opposition from the energy giants behind him.

Those were some of George's patrons.

Fortunately, Abel has already considered this concern for George.

Abel's approach was simple and rude.

Abel intends to directly pull those energy giants into his camp.

It is not to ask them to engage in new energy with themselves, but to do business directly at the source.

That is, we all work together to collect mines.

Anyway, at most it is just replacing the oil mine with a lithium mine.

Make arrangements in advance, share the benefits, and take more for yourself.

That's what Abel did.

Chatting and chatting, the three walked into another room of the hotel.

This is also a small meeting room.

After entering the meeting room, George lay loose on the sofa.

He smiled and said, "Relax here until they read the plan. Freddie, I'm not afraid to tell you straight up that I've planned to implement Abel's new energy plan. He already Convinced me!"

Freddie Ford breathed a sigh of relief, thankful that his position in the corridor was also inclined to support Abel's new energy plan.

The chief of staff of the White House smiled and said:

"A really good stimulus package. Simple and affordable with a small upfront investment."

The two people who were talking, both noticed that after entering the house, Abel walked to the window and looked out the window.

"what's wrong?"

George bounced off the sofa, walked curiously to Abel, and followed him to look out the window.

Outside the window is a small square of the hotel, which is full of soldiers and police.

It's all George's security staff.

"George." Abel suddenly said softly:

"You have always maintained this level of security work. It's okay now, but after a while. The donkey party will definitely use this to make trouble."

Freddie Ford also walked behind the two big men, nodded and said:

"It's a real problem. We have a plan to end the efforts in half a year."

After [-]/[-], George's White House made the security work of the White House and the Commander more stringent and exaggerated than during World War II.

This is apparently to guard against KB attacks.

But in reality, my family knows my own family affairs.

George is making a big deal out of this to boost his poll numbers.

At the same time, it is only to express to the outside world the tough attitude of George's government towards KBFZ.

But it doesn't work all the time.Because of [-]/[-], the donkey party is afraid to come out and talk.

But there is also a midterm election this year.

When the mid-term elections start, George's approach in this regard will definitely be attacked by the Donkey Party, which will be very detrimental to George and the Elephant Party.

According to Freddie Ford and George's thinking, this level of security work will be canceled in a month or two.

The White House and George's security will return to normal.

"I have an idea." Abel suddenly turned his head and looked at George.

"Huh?" George looked at him suspiciously, "What kind of thinking?"

"I don't know if it will work. But if it is done well, I think it will greatly promote the midterm elections this year."

Abel said softly.

Hearing what Abel said was so powerful, both Freddie Ford and George became curious.

"What kind of idea? It actually has such an effect? ​​Abel, tell me quickly." George asked.

Freddie Ford also looked at Abel.

Abel smiled, and whispered an idea that came to him just now.

George frowned and thought hard. He was wondering if Abel's method was really a good one.

Snapped--

Freddie Ford clapped his hands excitedly.

"Mr. Smith's idea is very good!! If it can be implemented smoothly, it can be exchanged for a very good situation at a very low price!"

Abel shrugged. To be honest, he was also curious now if his idea could be implemented smoothly.

What kind of effect can it play and what kind of consequences will it have.

Seems...not bad?
This is his own feeling.
