Fix the Debt campaign inspired by Simpson-Bowles and the Oct 25, 2012 U.S. CEO's statement
10/25/2012
Over 80 U.S. CEO's issue a statement endorsing the basic framework of Simpson-Bowles commission of tax increases of $1 for every $3 in spending cuts to reduce the U.S. deficit. The statement calls for lowering tax rates as part of tax reform, capping deductions and loopholes to broaden the tax base, and cutting spending. The Romney campaign says it will go beyond what Simpson-Bowles proposed in addressing the deficit. The Obama campaign says it agrees with the idea of combining tax increases with spending cuts. CEO's also support simplifying the corporate tax code and lowering taxes to improve competitiveness.

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.
