Are you familiar with Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs? We all have needs some are more basic than others and that is what this pyramid is all about. With a survey of our needs as a household we can tell where we need to spend our household income. "Our Budget"
Today is the day the President of the United States Of America presents his long awaited and much discussed "Budget" to "Win The Future".
There appears to be some major cutting as well as a five year freeze in proposed spending around the issues of community support programs and discretionary spending.
The focus IS rather on education, innovation, specific infistructure and associated support. This focus appears to be laser like in it's approach to getting the country in a firm position to compete with the world going forward.
Watch this seventeen minute video and judge for yourself. Is this what it is going to take to make the cut?
Thanks for watching.
What do you think? Is this the best approach to bring prosperity back to America? Is the "Race To The Top" program a good program or does it just continue to support a broken education system that still educates children for twentieth century jobs that no longer exist? Is there a plan in place to support the education of mature students in order to find jobs to support families in the new economic environment? Is it enough?
How important is the development of infrastructure like high speed Internet and rail as well as other transport systems.
Is this the way to "Win The Future" and give the people "A Brighter Tomorrow"
One last question. Will the world changing events such as Egypt have an effect on your future? How?
Thanks for taking the time to read this post and watch the video! Please feel free to post your thoughts as a comment below.
We will post again soon,
