Donald Trump's economic advisory team with John Paulson, and many businessmen from the hedge funds and financial industry- at odds with the image of being with Main Street

08/05/2016

The 2008 financial crisis hurt the prospects of older white Americans who faced higher unemployment. It also led to the rescue of the financial industry and rates dropping to zero hurting the savings of ordinary Americans, and as the FDIC's Sheila Bair pointed out not much done to rescue homeowners under water. During the 2008 election candidates John McCain and Barrack Obama, both had connections to the real estate and financial industry, to lobbyists for Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, as cited in the media. This time is no different with Clinton and Trump both having connections to Wall Street yet seeking the support of ordinary Americans hurt by the 2008 financial crisis. The only difference is that Clinton faces a movement within her party led by Bernie Sanders that calls for a different approach this time. There is also little difference between the economic team that Jeb Bush put together in its connections to Wall Street with Columbia University Business School Dean Hubbard and that of Trump.

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.
