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.

What Krugman makes of the one trillion dollar U.S. deficit in 2012 and the alternate view of John Taylor on the U.S. deficit
08/22/2010
Krugman says $1.089 trillion to be exact for the fiscal year ending in Sept. 2012. He gives the 400-450-150 formula to understand what this means in simple terms. The debt would still be stable or declining as a ratio of GDP at $400 billion because of steady GDP growth. He cites the example of the period when debt to GDP declined from 49% to 33% because of steady growth during the Clinton years (1992-2000) even though Clinton started out in 2000 with a deficit. The $450 billion is from lower tax payments because of the 2008 economic crisis followed by recession which would be reversed with restored GDP growth. The $150 billion is from payments such as unemployment insurance, food stamps, to cushion the effects of that crisis and the recession, which would be reversed with restored economic growth.

Jim Vandehei of Politico on the difference between destructive disruption and constructive disruption that brings new ideas and leaves a better world
04/26/2016
Vandehei says most of the ideas used in the campaigns of Trump and Sanders are not new, and the effects of the 2008 financial crisis have been covered widely in the press. That the elites have ignored it, and Tump and Sanders have capitalized on this, does not mean America cannot come up with its own constructive ideas to solve existing problems than take risks going into the unknown. Both Trump and Sanders have drawn attention to the problems of poverty, working class Americans, trade, and wages, but lack constructive programs that would work. A 45% tariff on imports would not work, and poverty is bettter tackled with a growing global economy and private sector initiative. He says he is from two small towns, Oshkosh, Wisconsin, and Lincoln, Maine, and knows what it is like for ordinary Americans struggling to make it.

Trump's economic plan and how it increases the U.S. deficit by $5.3 trillion
09/22/2016
The sharp contrast between the Trump economic plan which is very unusual for a Republican candidate in that it substantially increases the U.S. debt by $5.3 trillion, and the Clinton economic plan which only modestly increases the deficit by $200 billion. The impact is about one fourth increase of the national debt of $19 trillion under Trump and only 1% under Clinton's economic plan, according to the Office of Management and Budget.

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.
