Greece's bailout program in 2016- differences between the position of Greece and Germany with the IMF position
04/20/2016
The IMF calls for more pension cuts than tax hikes. Greece's new government of centre left Alexis Tsipras wants to minimize the burden on retirees and the poor. Germany sees no problem as long as Greece can maintain sufficient surplus to pay down debt under its bailout program of 2015 with the Tsipras government. Germany maintains that its fairness is reflected in the lower interest rate and repayment terms that extend over many years. After elections in Jan 2015, again in Sept. 2015, and a referendum in July 2015, and a refugee crisis in Europe, much of Europe is weary of facing another debt crisis, so experts see some form of negotiated settlement of differences.

U.S. House Speaker Paul Ryan and the Congressional task force on topics ranging from poverty to health care to set the Republican Agenda in 2016
04/21/2016
House Speaker Ryan is uniting the party behind a new Republican Agenda set by task forces on topics important to voters in 2016- from poverty, the Republican plan on health care, borders and security and other areas. With the lack of policy proposals from front runner Trump, the Republicans plan to run for Congress on the basis of this agenda that all Republican members of Congress were invited to participate in. This also helps unite the party after the volatile and personality driven campaign in Republican primaries of 2016, and help fill in specifics that voters feel comfortable with.

The New York Times 08/25/16
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.
