US Loses $956 Billion Every Year Due to Economic and Racial Inequality in Education, Georgetown University Report Says

Share: Washington, DC, May 12, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) Inequality in the US education system has high costs for society, according to a new thought experiment from the Georgetown University Center on Education and the Workforce (CEW). If the United States committed to achieving more equal postsecondary educational attainment by income and race/ethnicity, with an initial investment of $3.97 trillion, our country could see annual public benefits of $956 billion, in addition to numerous nonmonetary benefits. The report also highlights nonmonetary benefits associated with increasing educational attainment, including increased critical thinking abilities, stronger civic engagement, lower inclinations toward authoritarianism, better health, more pluralistic orientations, boosts in agency and empowerment, and a rise in happiness.

Trump signed off on last-minute Medicaid changes Now Biden faces the legal challenges

Trump signed off on last-minute Medicaid changes. Now Biden faces the legal challenges. Phil McCausland © Provided by NBC News Brandi McCutchen calls her son “Smiley Brylee” because he always has a smile on his face, despite facing the serious challenge of cerebral palsy. At 20, Brylee is only 58 pounds and 49 inches tall. Without the ability to walk, talk or clear his throat, he requires constant monitoring by his family and health professionals at his home in Hendersonville, Tennessee. His survival depends on it. But the medical costs and needs are high, which leaves Brylee and his family fully reliant on the care they receive through Tennessee’s Medicaid program, known as TennCare health coverage used by approximately 1.6 million people in the state.

The evolution of Elise Stefanik: How she turned into a belated Trump favorite on the rise

Elise Stefanik, R-N.Y., listens during a House Intelligence Committee hearing on Capitol Hill in Washington. (AP Photo/Andrew Harnik) WASHINGTON Elise Stefanik knows how to pick her battles. At a small town-hall meeting in 2018, she called for President Donald Trump’s EPA administrator, Scott Pruitt, to resign. The demands burnished the New York Republican’s brand as an independent thinker in her politically heterodox upstate district, which voted for Trump even though environment and climate change matter a lot to the ski resorts and lakeside retreats that dot the Adirondacks.
