Samuelson on the elderly as a protected class in the Social Security and Medicare debates of 2010-2013
03/30/2010
Samuelson says that not asking some sacrifice from seniors and leaving Social Security and Medicare untouched as even the Ryan proposal does, means shrinking other social programs, defense and investments in education and infrastructure. This will be damaging for the U.S. Both parties and expecially the Democrats who accuse the Republicans of running "grandma under the bus," are to blame for this fear of both sides to come to grips with the issues. See the Washington Post editorial on Vice president Biden's comment "I flat guarantee you, no changes to Social Security," as downright disheartening and irresponsible at best and political pandering at worst.

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.
