A debate on upward economic mobility after wage stagnation under Republican and Democratic presidents 2002-2015
08/01/2015
Hillary Clinton, Jeb Bush and Rick Perry present different proposals to address the lack of upward mobility in the U.S. since 2002, under Republican and Democratic administrations. This could be the reason for the popularity of fringe candidates in both parties Bernie Sanders and Donald Trump, with increasing public discontent with mainstream politicians.

The Bernie Sanders U.S. presidential campaign of 2016 and Howard Dean's campaign in 2004- upward mobility for working class Americans the issue in 2016, the Iraq war in 2004
08/09/2015
Howard Dean was governor of Vermont and Sanders was Mayor of Burlington, Vermont. Both candidates draw white, educated, affluent voters of the Democratic Party. But the situation is different in 2014, with the Democratic Party now 40% female, and many ethnic minorities represented in the party. Dean's major issue was his opposition to the Iraq war. Sanders says his positions are more class based and calls for a revolution to give working class Americans a chance for upward mobility.

The U.S. Federal Reserve and the populist movements of 2016 of Trump and Sanders
08/26/2016
By missing the signals of the bubble in financial markets and letting the mortgage crisis develop upto the point that the overleveraged banks had to be rescued and the global economy went into a deep recession, the U.S. Fed created the conditions for the populist movements of 2016. Very low rates designed to help the economy recover hurt savers, further depressing the financial assets of the middle and working class. The lack of access to public colleges hurt upward mobility, and the high cost of tution led to parents assuming large amounts of student debt further depressing their condition. The assets of middle and working class people revealed at a Boston Fed sponsored Inequality conference in Oct. 2014 were shocking- the average net worth of the lower half of the distribution in the U.S., or 62 million households was an average of $11,000, with one quarter at zero net worth, according to Janet Yellen, the chairman of the Fed, America's central bank.

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.

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.

Reviving the use of the term "working class" in America as opposed to middle class- why this is important
11/12/2015
Cherlin, a professor at John Hopkins University, who has written about the decline of the working class family, once portrayed in television shows such as "All in the Family," says the term was seen as derogatory and avoided in recent times. Archie Bunker in that show was seen as bigoted and behind the times. He points out that Obama in his speeches has used middle class frequently but rarely used the term "working class." Yet he points out the Americans with a diploma at most but no bachelors degree, comprise 54 percent of the American people, and are quite different in lifestyle and educational opportunities than the middle class better educated Americans. They also face a different set of problems and obstacles to upward mobility and social mobility. It is right to revive the use of the term "working class" says Cherlin, so that one can wrap ones hands around the problem facing so many Americans. A combination of forces have trampled the future prospects of these Americans, many arising out of forces beyond the control of policy such as automation and global manufacturing, and some such as the problems created by the 2008 financial crisis which were the result of bad decisions by business have only worsened the situation.

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.

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.
