Checking the numbers in the U.S. presidential campaign- Romney's Medicare $716 billion and Obama's tax cuts $5 trillion
08/20/2012
Romney says Obama would reduce money for Medicare by $716 billion-the material fact here is that Obama health care law by reducing payments to providers by $716 billion is likely to push up premiums for insurance. Premiums are already going up and Romney gives the estimate of $2500 in increased premiums so far. Obama says Romney will cut taxes by $5 trillion and this will lead to harsh spending cuts on education and other improtant areas- the material fact here is that Romney says he will not cut education only programs that do not justify borrowing money from China to pay from them, and he will make his reduction of taxes to induce economic, also make it revenue neutral by removing or reducing deductions and loopholes especially for the rich and higher income groups. One approach he says is to flat stop deductions beyond $17,000 and lower for higher income people.

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.
