Tackling middle class poverty in the U.S.- causes and strategies
03/11/2009
Shrinking incomes, low job growth, growth in temporary jobs, offshoring of jobs, are part of a trend since 1989. This is compounded by acceleration of developments during the last decade of low savings and paltry return on savings, effects on net worth of the financial crisis of 2008 through job losses, lost income, foreclosures, high cost of health care and college tution for children. The combination is creating a new kind of middle class poverty in the U.S. The Obama administration has pushed for college education even as it is becoming less affordable and neglected jobs training. The push to raise the minimum wage helps the poor but does not do as much for the middle class.

U.S. House Speaker Paul Ryan and the Congressional task force on topics ranging from poverty to health care to set the Republican Agenda in 2016
04/21/2016
House Speaker Ryan is uniting the party behind a new Republican Agenda set by task forces on topics important to voters in 2016- from poverty, the Republican plan on health care, borders and security and other areas. With the lack of policy proposals from front runner Trump, the Republicans plan to run for Congress on the basis of this agenda that all Republican members of Congress were invited to participate in. This also helps unite the party after the volatile and personality driven campaign in Republican primaries of 2016, and help fill in specifics that voters feel comfortable with.

Closing the gaps in the ideological debates in 2016 to tackle poverty in America, after the emergence of Donald Trump
02/02/2016
Eduardo Porter of the NYT reports on how experts on the left and right of the political spectrum are coming together in 2016 to tackle poverty in America. The emergence of billionaire Trump appealing to older non college educated workers and the people marginalized by globalized trade without providing any program specifics and lowering the political discourse to labels, exaggeration and misstatements, has acted as a catalyst for lowering the ideological barriers to action for experts on both sides.

10/31/2013

U.S. poverty and moral arguments
10/31/2010
Do the poor deserve to be poor because they are indolent and lazy or are their many kinds of poor, some indolent and lazy just like some indolent and lazy wealthy. And in our society should there be opportunities for all. Are some poor doing everything including hard work and good habits but having one or two events push them below the poverty line because of unexpected bills, medical emergency, or some bad event outside their control? These are the moral arguments on different sides. Beyond this there are children, and is a fair society going to make opportunities available to all children of all classes? Egan takes up the issue of a U.S. Congress that employs a certain kind of moral argument for cutting off food stamps and unemployment benefits to the poor.

Poverty among white Americans in 2010-2015
03/11/2009
A previous generation could count on good jobs in manufacturing with only a high school education. The last two decades of globalization have hit manufacturing jobs and wages in the U.S. hard and the impact is greatest on people without a college education. Other problems aggravating income and causing poverty is the increase of dropout rates from the labor force of young white American men, the effects of drug use and the lack of stable marraiges. This creates an underclass of whites in America, similiar to the underclass among minorities.

Deep Poverty in the U.S. increasing from about 30% of people in poverty in 1975 to 44% in 2013
09/17/2010
Deep poverty is defined as income 50% below the official poverty line. Since the beginning of the recession deep poverty in the U.S. has increased from 42% to 44%. The striking change in America is the accentuation of the income differences with the rise in deep poverty. This is coupled with similiar changes in income differences for the middle class Americans with income concentrated at the higher levels.

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.
