The phone call leading to the McConnell-Biden U.S. fiscal cliff deal of Jan. 1, 2013
10/25/2010
A phone call from Senator Biden begins the negotiations stalled first between Boehner and Obama, and then stalled between McConnell and Reid. Reid advised Obama to hold out for a better deal. Biden went on the Senate floor to ask if there was someone on the other side willing to dance. At that point Biden consulted Obama and the two decided it was worth a shot. Cantor and 151 Republicans opposed the deal with no spending cuts and McConnell trading higher estate taxes for extending unemployment benefits and postponing cuts. Boehner supported it and the deal passed the House.

An account of the events leading to the failure of talks on the fiscal cliff between Republicans and Democrats in Dec. 2012
06/13/2011
The relations between Republican and Congress have not improved after the reelection and are actually worse today, according to a WSJ report on the talks. The Democratic position has hardened with the election expecting Republicans to give in on taxes and spending, believing the president has a mandate from voters. The Republican leadership is not buying this and Republican members of the House and Senate much less.

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.
