How the Obama Stimulus and Tax Cuts are being fashioned to get the most punch- 2008-2009
11/25/2008
The tax cuts of $300 billion to business and individuals will form part of the stimulus spending of some $800 billion. The idea is to get the money where its needed to help unemployment and the middle class without wasteful spending.

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.

Friedman on Obama, the presidential campaign of 2012 and the failure to embrace the Simpson-Bowles deficit reduction plan
09/26/2011
A campaign developed by campaign consultants lacking boldness and clear vision, one developed in test-tube fashion, is how Friedman describes the Obama election campaign. He describes the long period in the second half of 2011 as a crucial period inthe Obama presidency, when Obama lacked the courage to embrace his own presidential commission's Simpson-Bowles plan for deficit reduction and simply vacillated in a back and forth with Republicans. The price may well be the loss of independent and center-right voters.

The two US Deficit Commissions in 2010 and the Deficit from Growing Health Care Costs
01/31/2008
Bowles-Simpson Deficit Commisssion proposals, critics say, did not adequately tackle the health care part of the US Deficit. Rivlin-Domenici Deficit Commission phases out the tax exclusion on employer-subsidized health care insurance. Both fall short in addressing the health care portion of the deficit.

Second Panel Calls for Cutting Military Spending
New York Times 11/17/2010
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.
