The article in Time on Oct 6th 2019,Equal or Elite that Harvard, Princeton, and Yale all boast that their incoming classes include more students from modest backgrounds than ever before. All three trumpet financial aid programs that require zero contribution from students whose families have annual incomes below $65,000. But poor and middle-class students remain drops in an ocean of privilege. And the modest increases in economic diversity at elite colleges are built on a model that simply cannot be scaled up.

最新一期的美國《时代》周刊题为《平等化还是精英化》的文章提到,哈佛、普林斯顿和耶鲁大学都自诩今年来自普通家庭的学生人数创历史新高。这三所名校都在鼓吹各自的“经济援助项目”——对家庭年收入在6.5万美元以下的学生不要求捐赠。尽管如此,出身贫寒和中产家庭的学生在这特权的沧海里仍只是一粟。精英大学对学生家庭经济地位多元化所做的些许改变是有限的。

The article with the title saying Why Is Nothing Being Done to Fix Our Infrastructure? in Washingtonpost on Oct 3rd, 2019, mentioned thatWashington is stuck in its own version of “Groundhog Day.”The Trump Administration has for years promised a ”great national infrastructure program”, yet has pushed the issue to the back burner again and again and again.There would be a $2 trillion infrastructure funding gap over the next decade. If it isn’t addressed, this gap will cause the U.S. economy to lose almost$4 trillion in GDP between now and 2025.

2019年10月3日的《华盛顿邮报》一篇题为《美国基础设施老化,政府不作为》的文章称,美国基础设施的振兴之路前途未卜。特朗普当局所承诺的“基础设施建设方案”被一拖再拖。美国基础设施建设资金缺口在接下来的10年将达到2万亿美元。如果该问题不解决,从现在算起,到2025年,美国经济将共计损失近4万亿美元。
