Paul Ryan becomes the new Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives in October 2015, taking over from Speaker Boehner. The U.S. Congress passed a new budget agreement negotiated with the White House to lift the debt ceiling and budget sequester spending caps till March 2017, allowing $80 billion in new spending. The idea was to give Speaker Ryan a new opportunity to bring together Republicans by avoiding the budget battles of the past. This happens as the U.S. faces new threats overseas and the economic recovery remains stalled in 2015.

This budget deal closes a chapter of gridlock in Washington D.C. and a brief shutdown of the government. Speaker Boehner was able to get it passed in the House of Representatives with only 94 votes against mostly from Tea Party supporters. Ryan described is as "good government even if it is divided government." Boehner was critical of the work of Tea party Congressmen who put the Republican Party in a place where it did not want to be. Ryan draws support from all parts of the poltical spectrum in the Republican Party making this deal workable and passable.

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.
