The gap between stimulus money infrastructure spending timelines in the U.S. and China and France- 2009-2012
01/22/2009
China moved the fastest, the USA very slowly, with two different political systems and sense of crisis, and infrastructure project speed capabilities. The French also moved quickly. Of $37 billion in spending for infrastructure stimulus, about 75% will be completed in 2009. India is slow but France's experience shows democratic governments or political systems are not necessarily the cause of slow execution.

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.

Pitch for Rebuilding Infrastructure Carries Political Challenges
New York Times 01/24/2011
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.
