Lengthy Impasse Looms On Cuts
Keywords:
Lack of any effort by Democrats and Republicans to come up with a negotiated agreement to end the $85 billion in sequester automatic spending cuts in the U.S. for 2013. For the Republicans the risk is that president Obama gains ground in preparation for the 2014 midterm elections. For president Obama the risk is that his will become a distraction for his second term legislative agenda including immigration reform, and other legislation.

The origins of the sequester of automatic spending cuts in the U.S. as the brainchild of Budget Director, Jack Lew
07/14/2011
The $85 billion of irrational spending cuts going into effect March 1, 2013, originated with Budget Director Jack Lew, says veteran reporter Bob Woodward, of the Washington Post. This is important because dissembiling by the White House on this issue has eroded what little trust remained between Republicans and Democrats in budget negotiations (even though Republicans have also acted improperly), says Woodward.

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.
