The 111th Congress's Final Insult

Tags: Renewal America,
This editorial says that those who argue that the spending in the current $1.2 trillion omnibus spending bill in Congress shows restraint by freezing spending for government agencies at 2010 levels, are missing the fact that the 2010 levels are at new highs. The nondefense discretionary spending in 2010 is 24% above that of 2008, and defense spending is 11% higher. This makes it that much harder to bring spending down in the future to 2008 levels.

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.
