David Brooks on the candidacy for U.S. President of Senator Rick Santorum. He says Santorum genuinely represents the working class- a grandson of a coal miner and the son of Italian immigrants who has represented workers of the steel manufacturing region of western Pennsylvania. Santorum has pushed hard in this campaign largely ignored by the media. He has visited 370 towns riding in a pickup truck trying to cover as much ground as possible and talking with great conviction about his positions distant from the corporate and financial wings of the Republican party, about family, and communities. Bring someone like Sherrod Brown of Ohio together with someone like Rick Santorum and you have good representation of the working class across the political spectrum to win this election for the working class of America, says Brooks, who sees this as a lot better alternative today than Harvard Law.

American public opinion on cutting Medicare and Social Security
02/15/2011
There is little support for cutting the two programs polls show. This suggests that politicians who fight for cuts in the popular programs risk being punished in the next elections. Voter awareness about the problems the large budget deficits pose for the U.S. and what action needs to be taken is growing, but only growing slowly.

David Stockman on the budget deficit reduction plans of Republicans and Democrats
01/20/2010
Stockman sees a failure to recognize budget reality in Obama's plan to avoid taxes on the middle class. He also sees a similiar failure in Paul Ryan's effort to shield defense and the rich, while at the same time focussing most of the cuts on the poorer sections of society. He says both plans put off cuts and taxes till way into the future- from 12 years to 20 years into the future.

Wealth gap in the U.S. between whites and minorities- devastating impact of the recession of 2008
01/05/2009
Hispanics and blacks counted housing equity as a much bigger part of their assets than whites. The recession and financial crisis of 2008 wiped out fully two thirds of the median net worth of Hispanic families and one half for Black families, with both groups having close to $6000 in total median net worth in 2010, according to data from Pew surveys.The recession has proved to be severe in its impact on minorities, and the election of a black president has done little to improve things- especially considering the dismal record of the Obama administration in helping prevent foreclosures.

What Happened to Change We Can Believe In?
New York Times 10/23/2010
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.
