He's a Keynesian now: Donald Trump tells New York Times he wants to "prime the pump"
In a recent interview, Trump let his inner Keynesian slip out
By Matthew Rozsa
Published March 27, 2017 7:50PM (EDT)
(AP Photo/Lefteris Pitarakis)
President Donald Trump's economic plan may be built on a foundation whose logic many people find unconvincing, but that didn't stop him from describing spending in such glowing terms that one could even call them Keynesian.
"We're also going to prime the pump," President Trump told Robert Draper of The New York Times Magazine. "You know what I mean by 'prime the pump'? In order to get this [the economy] going, and going big league, and having the jobs coming in and the taxes that will be cut very substantially and the regulations that'll be going, we're going to have to prime the pump to some extent. In other words: Spend money to make a lot more money in the future. And that'll happen."
As Draper wrote, "A clearer elucidation of Keynesian liberalism could not have been delivered by Obama." Twitter noticed this as well.
Keynesianism is, at its core, is the thinking after the ideas of Depression era economist John Maynard Keynes that government spending on the economy (or a fiscal stimulus) can help maintain periods of growth and pull the economy out of a downturn. The term "pump priming" is closely linked with this concept, and while it was initially anathema to conservatives, by the 1970s its perceived effectiveness was such that even President Richard Nixon famously proclaimed in 1971 that "I am now a Keynesian."
During an appearance on NBC's "Meet the Press" on Sunday, conservative talk-radio host Hugh Hewitt speculated that Trump "is done with the right wing. If you buy five stocks, and one of them is the Supreme Court, that went up 400 percent this week. One is health care, it bankrupted. You still have the military and you still have the tax bill and you have the infrastructure. He is going to bank on the other four going up."
Similarly Eliana Johnson, a conservative writer for National Review, told "Meet the Press" host Chuck Todd that voters should expect to see Trump "move to the left. He's wanted to do infrastructure. He wants to do a big push on it. And the thing I found interesting this week is that he went to the Freedom Caucus, and his pitch to them, his means of persuasion, was he singled out [its chairman] Mark Meadows and he told Republicans, You're going to lose. I'm going to campaign against you.'"
While Trump's version of Keynesianism is more likely to focus on tax incentives than direct government investment in economic projects (the traditional progressive approach to economic stimulus), it is nevertheless noteworthy that the Republican president is using rhetoric traditionally associated with left-wing politics in order to advance his economic agenda.
Matthew Rozsa is a professional writer whose work has appeared in multiple national media outlets since 2012 and exclusively at Salon since 2016. His diverse interests are reflected in his interview, including: President Jimmy Carter (1977-1981), Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak (1999-2001), animal scientist and autism activist Temple Grandin, inventor Ernő Rubik, comedian Bill Burr ("F Is for Family"), novelist James Patterson ("The President's Daughter"), epidemiologist Monica Gandhi, theoretical cosmologist Janna Levin, voice actor Rob Paulsen ("Animaniacs"), mRNA vaccine pioneer Katalin Karikó, philosopher of science Vinciane Despret, actor George Takei ("Star Trek"), climatologist Michael E. Mann, Washington Gov. Jay Inslee (2013-present), dog cognition researcher Alexandra Horowitz, Libertarian presidential candidate Gary Johnson (2012, 2016), comedian and writer Larry Charles ("Seinfeld"), Democratic vice presidential nominee Joe Lieberman (2000), Ambassador Michael McFaul (2012-2014), economist Richard Wolff, director Kevin Greutert ("Saw VI"), model Liskula Cohen, actor Rodger Bumpass ("SpongeBob Squarepants"), Senator John Hickenlooper (2021-present), Senator Martin Heinrich (2013-present), Egyptologist Richard Parkinson, Rep.

4/16 SJRT Day Trip. Planned by Fresno State Recreation Administration students!
4/21-4/24 Earth Day SJRT Weekend Base Camp Trip. Come celebrate the beauty of our planet and help future generations enjoy the wonders of the San Joaquin River via the SJRT!
To sign up for these trips click their names!
We camped at the beautiful Smalley Cove Campground on the shores of Kerckhoff Lake. Each morning mist shrouded the hills as the sun rose. Wild turkeys were busy calling around camp and along the trail. The land abounded with wildlife and spring blooms of lupine, poppy, bird's-eye gilia, and fiddleneck just to name a few. As for trail work a small yet mighty group was able to construct 500 feet of new trail! Tons of soil and rock (literally!) were removed to develop a full bench cut trail along the contours of the hillside. To design and construct new trail is an exciting and engaging experience. Please don't worry there is plenty more trail to build!
We would like to thank the U.S. Forest Service and the San Joaquin River Trail Council for making this project possible through their vision, oversight, leadership and financial support.
Flowers along the drive from camp to the trailhead.
Redbud blooming along the trail with its heart shaped leaves.
Staking the alignment for the trail.
Starting the full bench cut into the hillside.

Pearlfisher creates the brand identity and printed collateral for the luxury hotel, Kimpton Fitzroy London
In partnership with the InterContinental Hotels Group, Pearlfisher has created the brand identity and printed collateral for Kimpton Fitzroy London, now open in Bloomsbury.
A highly anticipated launch, Kimpton Fitzroy is the first UK hotel to open for the award-winning Kimpton brand. Implementing a consistent sense of identity throughout Kimpton Fitzroy's printed collateral, Pearlfisher has created a brand identity that reflects the premium ethos offered by the Group across the US, the Caribbean and Europe whilst also dialling up a quintessentially British story and individual hotel experience. The new identity has a refined and deliberate duality to it, inviting guests to be curious and to reflect the hotel's values – such as craft and vision, history and modernity, luxury and timelessness.
Articulating a whole brand world, Pearlfisher has revealed different layers of the hotel and its interconnecting stories, as guests journey through their Fitzroy hotel experience. For example, using a sophisticated colour palette of dark green and gold, representations of different signs of the zodiac on the 'do not disturb' door hangers reflect the mosaic embedded in the floor of the lobby, whilst the subtle illustration of a dragon wing on the hotel postcard symbolises the significance of the brass sculpture of 'George' the dragon housed at the top of the grand staircase.

Each year, the executive board of the Michigan World Language Association nominates candidates for the Barbara Ort-Smith Award. The award honors those who have shown a strong commitment to the profession, manifesting itself in leadership and the promotion of excellence in world language education. The first recipient of this award was Barbara Ort-Smith in 1988. She served as the first foreign language consultant in the state of Michigan.
Campbell received her B.A. from Michigan State University in French education and her M.A. from the University of Michigan in curriculum design and instruction.
As department chair, Campbell leads a team of language professionals offering French, Spanish and Latin courses at all levels, including Advanced Placement courses. In her role as Mercy teacher for 42 years, she has taught an array of French language and culture courses and also serves as moderator of the French Honor Society and co-moderator of the French Club. In addition, Campbell was formerly an adjunct professor at Mercy College in Detroit and an instructor in adult education evening programs at local colleges.
Campbell is known for her innovative programs — including courses on French theater, opera, art and architecture, poetry and literature — and is an advocate for technology in language education and was instrumental in the installation of two language labs at Mercy. Of particular note is a program she introduced, Passport to France: An Immersion Experience, which proved to be successful in introducing middle school students to French as well as Mercy High School.
Campbell regularly conducts student field trips to special exhibits at the Detroit Institute of Art and local French restaurants and she celebrates National French Week each year, focusing on a region of the Francophone world with guest speakers and cultural explorations of cuisine, art, cinema, music and dance. She believes that such experiences contribute to her students' understanding of the local and global influence of French culture. In addition, Campbell is especially recognized for the high academic standards she establishes and the leadership skills she develops among students, many of whom have pursued successful careers in government, the law, business and education using the French competence they achieved in her programs. Her efforts were recognized in 2009 when she was honored as Mercy High School's Teacher of the Year.
Campbell's contributions to the profession include her affiliations with the American Council of Teachers of Foreign Languages, the American Association of Teachers of French, the Oakland World Language Advisory Council, the French Institute Alliance Francaise of Michigan and, most notably, the Michigan World Language Association. She has presided at sessions and made several presentations at MIWLA meetings on project-based learning experiences and thematic units of study with a focus on cultural understanding. She was awarded the MIWLA Teacher of the Year Award in 1995 and the Intercultural Student Experiences Language Matters Award in 2009.
Finally, Campbell has worked closely with the American Council on International Studies in Paris and the U.S. in coordinating trips for students and adults to all regions of France and other Francophone countries. She also designed and implemented for ACIS a unique immersion program for American students studying French in Paris during the summer.

Activists put Ocean Park in the spotlight
Last weekend, Ocean Park announced the death of six Hammerhead Sharks due to a highly contagious disease of "rapid morbidity and high mortality" in a mere six hours.
Though the park said it's still investigating into the issue and has reported the incident to the Hong Kong Agriculture, Fisheries and Conservation Department almost immediately, pressure is mounting.
In 2011, the first Scalloped Hammerhead died when it was moved into the Grand Aquarium; a year later, activists campaigned against dolphins over-performing; as well, more than 80 endangered bluefin tuna and more than 13 endangered animals in its tropical rainforest exhibition died in the past two years and were only revealed after being exposed by the media.
Last weekend, animal advocate groups campaigned to boycott Ocean Park until it releases causes of death and data upon every incident instead of waiting for its annual report. They also question why the so-called "rescued animals" are never released back into the wild.
Action by boycott groups are now gaining momentum, with The South China Morning Post, Oriental Press, Metro Hong Kong and Apple Daily publishing reports on the developments.
Ocean Park, however, insists that its animals are all under the care of a team of qualified husbandry and veterinary staff and that the animals "are not releasable and they help inspire visitors' intent to conserve nature", wrote Ocean Park public affairs director Una Lau in a statement.
"While we and the protest organisers hold different positions on the value of maintaining dolphins under human care at Ocean Park, we strongly believe the animals truly help to emotionally connect visitors with nature."
When asked whether the park will consider immediately releasing news of animal deaths to the public, Lau said Ocean Park already obliges to the "required transparency" established by the Convention on International Trade of Endangered Species on the reporting of "animal status, including birth and morality data" but added that "the park reviews and enhances its reporting practices and transparency on a regular basis to the public."
"It's humanly impossible to report on the death of every single animal in the park because we have more than thousands of animals, but we've actively taken initiatives in reporting all of the major deaths, especially those of endangered species."
"We don't deliberately want animals to be ill and sick. It just seems like a catastrophe when you focus on all the deaths that have all been happening lately," she said, adding that the park will soon publicise their caring methods and, eventually, implement an educational programme for the public to learn about what happens behind the scenes.
"Ocean Park was the first zoological facility in the world to report animal acquisition, deposition, births and mortality data in the annual report, a practice which started two years ago," she wrote.
"This year, the park made an unprecedented commitment to further strengthen the public assurance of the data reported with third-party audits. This is to remove any doubt of misreporting and to ensure that proper independent checks and balances are in place to oversee the entire reporting process."

Peg LeVine Explains Ritualcide in Cambodia in Center Fellow Lecture
During her lecture as the 2014-15 Center Fellow of the USC Shoah Foundation Center for Advanced Genocide Research on Thursday at USC Doheny Memorial Library, Peg LeVine shared her experiences studying a unique form of violence during the Cambodian Genocide. She has coined it "ritualcide," and for the people of Cambodia, it is a distinct form of terror that still affects survivors to this day.
LeVine, who is a trauma psychologist, anthropologist, Asian studies scholar, and sculptor based in Australia, spent many years traveling and working with survivors of the Cambodian Genocide, which killed 1.5 – 3 million people under Pol Pot's Khmer Rouge regime from 1975-1979. LeVine said she became interested in the ritual and spirit infrastructure before, during and after the Khmer Rouge's takeover of Cambodia (during which time the country was renamed Democratic Kampuchea), and began capturing genocide survivors' spirit experiences on film.
Cambodians have long held deeply ritualized cosmological beliefs about birth, death, marriage, illness and more. But under the Khmer Rouge, these rituals were disrupted. People were not buried according to tradition and were often killed violently, so people became fearful that the spirits of the dead would roam and cause harm. They were cut off from support systems during pregnancy and birth.
The Khmer Rouge also arranged marriages between people who were deemed a good match. People who did not have a good match were killed. As a result, LeVine said many couples who were married under the Khmer Rouge feel shame, viewing their marriage as sinful and feeling guilt for their friends and family who were killed.
LeVine noted the distinction between two types of marriages according to Cambodian belief: Ku Prean and Ku Kam. Ku Prean marriages are believed to have been arranged by Buddha before either spouse was born, and will last forever. Ku Kam, on the other hand, means "sin": these marriages will break up at some point. Many couples married under the Khmer Rouge feel their marriages are Ku Kam.
LeVine also discussed "Angkar," a powerful spirit that many Cambodians believe is the cause of chaos, destruction and violence. LeVine said myths such as Angkar gave the Khmer Rouge more power, since such myths consume people's imaginations and cause fear and other psychological trauma. She showed one video of an interview with a Cambodian survivor who suddenly enters into a dissociative state, staring into the distance, in the middle of a conversation about disruption of rituals during the genocide. Later, he explained that at that moment Angkar had "taken his body." Such psychological trauma still affects survivors, even those who have since left Cambodia and settled in the United States and around the world, LeVine said.
This disruption and destruction of sacred rituals under the Khmer Rouge is what LeVine calls "ritualcide." Ritualcide is not necessarily connected to genocide, but the erosion of ritual access can advance genocidal priming, she said. Ritualcide erodes family, community, ancestral networks and a sense of cosmological predictability, and renders people susceptible to terror and trauma fallout for the living and the dead.
At the end of the lecture, LeVine showed clips from the Visual History Archive of Holocaust survivors whose religious rituals were also affected by the Nazi regime. She also showed sculptures she made that represent Angkar its effect on people.

Oregonians for Community Rights
The Amendment
Home / About / FAQ
What are community rights?
Why do we need a community rights movement?
What is the goal of community rights?
Why do you refer to community rights as a civil rights movement?
What is the basis of the right to local, community self-government and how does this right relate to the administration of state and federal law?
How does our current legal system differ from one based in community rights?
Could community rights be (mis)used to undo hard-won federal civil rights gains by overriding them at the local level?
Who is CELDF?
Community rights means that people who live in the community have the right to make the decisions that affect their well-being and future. Today, however, communities across the country are finding that they don't have the right to make critical decisions for themselves – such as the right to say "no" to fracking or factory farming, and the right to say "yes" to sustainable energy and healthy local food systems.
The movement for community rights in the United States arose to stop this corruption of our democracy. Enacting community rights will enable people within a community to make important decisions reflecting the people, land, and special conditions that exist within each area, creating and enforcing laws that provide for the well-being and sustainability of their communities.
"The right to local, community self-government serves as the foundation for the American system of law and is a central tenet of our Declaration of Independence and state and federal constitutions. The people's right to self-governance has been routinely ignored by our elected representatives and overridden by the courts in favor of corporate rights." — Thomas Linzey,Community Environmental Legal Defense Fund
Over the last 200 years, corporations have manufactured a structure of law in which they have ever-increasing rights and privileges today, allowing the pre-emption of community self-determination when corporate interests are at stake.
Corporations prioritize maximizing profit, typically for distant investors who have no connection to the community; consequently the best interests of the community and its environment are less important than corporate exploitation of natural resources. Our movement's goal to institute authentic local self-governance will enable communities to protect their health, economies and local environment from corporate threats stemming from practices that elevate profit over community well-being.
In a time of depletion of natural resources and increasingly risky resource development and extraction, there is a critical need for laws governing local decisions about sustainability issues affecting energy production, land development, water use and food systems. Because the structure of current law allows corporations to have more power than communities in deciding what happens to these resources within the community, lack of protection makes communities vulnerable to exploitation. Appropriate and just local governance gives people to the means to sustain themselves and the web of natural systems necessary to thrive.
We work to dismantle the unjust structure of laws and systems of government that place corporate "rights" and privileges over the well-being of our communities. Our work seeks a single overriding solution: instituting our right to local self-government – so that communities have the legal foundation for saying no to harmful corporate practices whatever their form, whenever they arise. The right to do this is articulated in the principles of the Declaration of Independence and individual state constitutions. The goal is for local citizens to be able to exercise their right to make decisions affecting their community's well being.
We look to the abolitionists, suffragists and civil rights activists who refused to obey unjust laws and worked to enact just laws. Suffragists challenged existing laws over 460 times, passing local and state laws recognizing women's right to vote, which went against federal law. Oregon was one of two states that did so through the citizen initiative process. It took five attempts. Today, we, too, are constructing and working to pass just local laws, grounded in the right to local self-government.
Our work is local, but connected to a nationwide movement that has mounted community rights ordinances in over 160 communities in nine states, protecting them from a range of corporate threats, from fracking to industrial agricultural harms. This network, with the national Community Environmental Legal Defense Fund as an instrumental resource, is developing a foundation to build economic, political and social change at local, state, and ultimately, federal levels. Like the movements before us, we recognize that it will take years to succeed. But when we do, those levels of government will recognize, constitutionally, that the right to local self-government exists to protect the rights of communities and persons, not corporations.
Community rights transcends the environmental issues that catalyzed the movement. It will help us gain economic, social and environmental justice for all in our community.
Civil rights are rights to full legal, social, and economic equality. These rights protect individuals' freedom from infringement by governments and private organizations. The Community Rights Movement works to protect our civil rights by ensuring that power resides where it is supposed to in a democracy – with the people and not corporations and governmental structures that place corporate "rights" above our own.
The right of local, community self-government is a fundamental, individual political right, exercised collectively, of people to govern the local communities in which they live. It is based on the basic principle that all political power is inherent in the people, is exercised by them for their benefit, and is subject to their control. The right is secured by the American Declaration of Independence, state constitutional bills of rights, and the United States Constitution. Because the right is inherent and inalienable, no government can define, diminish, or otherwise control it.
State governments have created bodies that administer state policy locally. However, the powers authorized by these local government agencies are separate from the people's right of local, community self-government. The peoples' right is not dependent upon state delegation of decision-making power and cannot be subject to state or federal constraints — constraints such as: allowing preemption of local lawmaking by state and federal laws; giving constitutional "rights" to corporations that compete with people's civil and political rights; and allowing local governments to legislate only as authorized by state government.
A community rights legal system elevates the rights of human and natural communities over protection of corporate interests. A rights-based legal system helps to create a balanced relationship between local, state and federal levels of government. That balance does not exist today: Federal and state governments may legally preempt and regulate localities, and does so based on a system that considers commerce and the "rights" and privileges of corporations as central.
Fundamental to the constitutional change sought by the Community Rights Movement is the establishment of a platform of rights that could not be legislated away by communities and government, and civil rights would be among them. In the meantime, existing civil rights protections are inalienable rights that cannot be overridden, even under our right to local self-government.
CELDF is the Community Environmental Legal Defense Fund, and is a national organization based in Pennsylvania, where the Community Rights Movement got its start. Through grassroots organizing and public interest law, the Community Environmental Legal Defense Fund works with communities across the country to establish Community Rights to democratic, local self-governance and sustainability. CELDF has assisted close to 200 communities to ban shale gas drilling and fracking, factory farming, water privatization, and other threats, and eliminate corporate "rights" when they violate community and nature's rights. This includes assisting the first communities in the U.S. to establish Rights of Nature in law, as well as the first communities to elevate the rights of communities above the "rights" of corporations.
