Abismo fiscal estadounidense

By
Recortar el ya débil gasto social, no recortar los gastos de Defensa (o warfare), no incrementar los impuestos a rentas superiores a $250 mil, negociar la subida  de impuestos para rentas inferiores a esa cantidad (la gran mayoría de estadounidenses) es la propuesta republicana para salir de la crisis estadounidense.

Counseling - After you complete the workshop, bring your certificate of completion and meet with a counselor. I chose to go to the same agency that gave me the voucher, because they already knew...

"Every single human being here has access to the internet" "Technology improves individual capacity more than social" "Teach people not answers, but how to ask questions" "We can't leave people off the hook" "Data, information and knowledge are different levels. We should slow down to learn/teach how to make questions" Despite all this progress we still have a lot of things to do, such as, improving security.  And also to reshape our mentality and our culture of sharing.
