David Super on why the fiscal cliff can be fairer than any deal reached between Republicans and Democrats
12/17/2012
Super is professor of law at Georgetown University. He says the $1.2 trillion in spending cuts president Obama and the Democrats have proposed will hurt the poor and middle class as much or more than any cuts proposed in th fiscal cliff. He says if the fiscal cliff cuts go into effect it is likely that mini deals would be reached to restore the Bush tax cuts for the middle class and reduce the amount of defence cuts because of the pressure of publc opinion, ending in a fairer deal than the grand bargain between Republicans and Democrats.

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.
