Rich comments on a series of Washigton post articles showing the cooperation of lobbyists and senior members of Congress and the Obama administration. The Republicans too have the same pattern. In this context see Brooks article about the coming culture wars that cut across party lines and are based on values.

Its not clear whether these controls on pay practices are adequate, or too little too late. With bills being watered down in Congress on derivatives trading and other risk prevention measures. The intense lobbying of the financial industry against prudent regulation. The voices of wiser minds like Volcker and Mervyn King of the Bank of England calling for strong action. And the jobless numbers going the other way. Most recently at the Barr Trucking Company in Indiana, where 500 resumes were received for a $13 an hour assistant position.

Obama's plan for a new consumer protection agency with needed powers.
07/15/2009
One of the lessons of the global economic crisis is the need to protect consumerts to protect the economy as a whole. A system of lobbying and campaign contributions by the banking industry to members of Congress kills action in the public's interest. A dysfunctional system of consumer protection with powers and responsibilities spread over many federal agencies and no accountability, tends to put banking interests first, leading to the problems in the current crisis with subprime mortgages.

The perverse effects of lobbying in damaging the public interest.
04/10/2009
Finance industry lobbying, with $300 million alone spent to repeal the Glass Steagall Act which kept banks from getting involved in the securties business, is having the effect of making changes without the due diligence and care necessary for changing legislation that had deep reason embedded in experience during the Great Depression. Citigroup's failure is a result of its involvement in the securities business, and it was a principal backer for the repeal. Similar situation is playing out in the U.S. health-care area which has overtaken the finance industry in money spent for lobbying. Lobbying of this magnitude is having distortional effects on national priorities on necessary regulation, and on creating sustainable economical systems for health care in health care laws.

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.
