The revival of Simpson-Bowles recommendations on deficit reduction in Nov.-Dec. 2012
09/26/2011
Both Republicans and Democrats now look to Simpson-Bowles as the basis of building an agreement that generates revenue by reducing loopholes, deductions and tax expenditures. Christina Romer, former chairwoman of Obama's Council of Economic Advisors's puts forward a strategy based on Simpson-Bowles in an op-ed in the NYT, Nov. 11, 2012. The "fiscal cliff" of automatic tax increases and spending cuts goes into effect on Jan. 1, in the absence of an agreement. The Romney plan and the proposal by Martin Feldstein on limiting tax deductions and loopholes for high income earners are a way to distribute the tax burden equitably.

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.
