We can't afford not to fully fund education.
Budgets that don't balance, public programs that aren't funded, pension funds that are running out of money, schools that aren't funded - How does that help anyone?
We also need a fund that can say 'no'.
Ideally, I want us to be working on things where if we're not working on them, they won't happen; companies where if we don't fund them they will not receive funding.
Money is not a fund of knowledge.
In the charitable world as in the business world, opportunities should drive budgets, not the other way around.
In the United States, there is no project so audacious for which people cannot be found to guarantee the cost and find the working expenses.
The United States is at a critical juncture in time. Our government is riddled with historic debt, and the limited resources of philanthropic and non-profit efforts cannot meet the scale of social challenges we face with necessary force.
What we need to do is break the financial community's grip on society.
Our greatest lack is not money for any undertaking, but rather ideas, If the ideas are good, cash will somehow flow to where it is needed.
