Third Paradigm: 3P-020 A 2020 Vision

Huffduffed by mscir on December 23rd, 2009

Reads a poem called To Begin With, the Sweet Grass by Mary Oliver. Presents a hypothetical scenario of the year 2020 with employment security, cheap healthcare, housing work exchange, worry- free retirement, and all the education you can eat. In contrast, projects the logical outcome of Obama’s stimulus package, which takes on more debt to "free up" credit. Examines the revenue-raising "solutions" of the California Tax Reform conference. Then outlines the policies that could get us out of this mess, if we took local control of our taxes. Bonus offer? a new religion called the Indigenous Planet.

    President Obama was in Denver today, where he signed the $787 billion dollar economic stimulus legislation into law. Obama signed the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act at the Denver Museum of Nature and Science, a building with hundreds of recently installed solar panels. Some 250 politicians, renewable energy advocates and industry representatives attended the signing. The final stimulus includes an estimated $78 billion for green initiatives, including clean energy and green transportation. After his trip to Colorado, President Obama heads to Arizona before going to Canada later this week.

  2. Minister of Information - Edward Tufte at On the Media

    Edward Tufte is perhaps the country’s foremost evangelist for the clean, clear and rich presentation of complex information. The Obama administration’s stimulus package is flooding the economy with 787 billion dollars for employment and public works projects. Put the two together, as Obama did earlier this month when he nominated Tufte for the stimulus advisory board with the hopes that the public will have a fighting chance of understanding where the stimulus money went and what it’s doing.
