U.S. oil exports and the Keystone pipeline
03/31/2010
The Keystone pipeline would benefit Texas refineries exporting oil to Latin American countries, say analysts. The Gulf coast refineries are already exporting large amounts of oil, which helps the trade deficit and keeps refinery workers employed, according to Valero Energy. Figures show the volume of exports have doubled in the last 4 years. The energy picture is rapidly changing in the U.S.

Samuelson on the elderly as a protected class in the Social Security and Medicare debates of 2010-2013
03/30/2010
Samuelson says that not asking some sacrifice from seniors and leaving Social Security and Medicare untouched as even the Ryan proposal does, means shrinking other social programs, defense and investments in education and infrastructure. This will be damaging for the U.S. Both parties and expecially the Democrats who accuse the Republicans of running "grandma under the bus," are to blame for this fear of both sides to come to grips with the issues. See the Washington Post editorial on Vice president Biden's comment "I flat guarantee you, no changes to Social Security," as downright disheartening and irresponsible at best and political pandering at worst.

Aging, Retirement and 401(K)'s in America- 2010-2016
03/30/2010
The situation confronting the baby boom generation as it retires in the U.S. The stock market boom-bust cycles of 2000-2002 and 2006-2008 have hurt the 401(K) retirement accounts of most Americans. High unemployment and the housing crisis with many home owners under water has only worsened the situation. The difficult situation for seniors earning little interest on their savings. The problem of outliving ones savings for seniors with their money invested in bonds in a low interest rate environment. The median savings of Americans of close to $10,000 with only 10% of Americans having saved about $1 million by age 65. Longevity today means Americans are likely to live to age 85.

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
