Presidents and their Debt , FDR to Bush: FDR, Deficit Hawk
Keywords:
Historian David Kennedy points out that Franklin D. Roosevelt was a fiscal conservative. On Social Security which FDR signed into law in 1935, he insisted that it be self-supporting, saying "no dole." Deficits of the "New Deal" Roosevelt would say were a result of the "emergency budgets." Only in 2 of the New Deal Years 1934 and 1936 did the federal deficit as a percentage of Gross National Product exceed the 4.6% of Herbert Hoover's last year in office. The 1936 absolute deficit of $4.4 billion or 5.3% of GNP was largely because of the $2 billion Bonus Bill passed by Congress over Roosevelt's veto, which awarded the money to World War 1 veterans.

U.S. tax reforms in 2013-2014 and how the approach of Reagan and the Treasury Department in 1984 can provide a basis for action
07/21/2011
Floyd Norris outlines the approach taken by Reagan and the Treasury Department in its report in 1984, which basically started out without any exemptions and loopholes, and then asked the question how much marginal rates have to go up to justify a particular exemption or loophole supported by a lobbying group. Two similar families with the same income were to be treated in the same way regardless of the source or use of their income, so that one did not end up having to pay more in tax than the other.

Most Americans Face Lower Tax Burden Than in the 80s
New York Times 11/29/2012
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.
