The state attorneys general in the U.S. and the subprime lending and foreclosure crises and mortgage settlements.
12/08/2009
Federal regulators and the Bush and Obama administrations failed miserably to help homeowners achieve loan modifications. This with the false belief that putting homeowners out of their homes would actually speed up a recovery, considering the huge scale of foreclosures in the USA , the high unemployment and other problems hitting the economy. Feldstein's consistent arguments for homeowner relief throughout 2008 and 2009- considering the large number of homeowners under water- as the mortgage crisis unfolded, were ignored by the Bush and Obama administrations. See the comparisons to Japan's lost decade, as the lack of recovery in housing adds to problems with job losses. The lawsuits, legal action and mortgage settlements facing banks as they make their way through the mortgage mess.

With the government's investment in GM and its clear mandate for higher fuel efficency under the Obama administration, and with Ford's committment to fuel efficiency leadership, as well as the operation of Chrysler by Italian small carmaker Fiat, the move is towards smaller cars, large gains in fuel efficiency, and investment in hybrid cars.

The Failure of Infrastructure Building under the Obama administration.
10/21/2008
Only a small portion- about one fifth according to one estimate- of the $787 Stimulus Bill was actually allocated for infrastructure building. And in some cases such as high speed rail only $8 billion was allocated, clearly insufficient to build a high speed rail system in te USA. And public perception is that infrastructure allocation has already taken place, so it has ceased to be a priority even though the nation's infrastructure needs rebuilding.

Voters’ Second Thoughts on Hope and Change
New York Times 11/04/14
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.
