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.

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.
