Did the Economy Do Better Under Obama or Reagan?
The Equalist, I don't even know how to address your stupidity. Reagan had severe recession AND double digit inflation. These are two opposing economic forces... Obama just got a severe recession... And, as far as debt goes, I hope you are kidding... Reagan added plenty to the debt, but it pales in comparison to the debt Obama has piled up...
Why are so many people against Obamacare?
I would like to understand why so many people are against Obamacare. I am guessing Obamacare could help sick people or other people with no ways to pay for health cares. So why do they wanna delay it for a year? Why not give the opportunity to everyone to have better care. This is not a pro Obama question, I just want to understand. I'm from Europe
Did African Americans benefit with Barack Obama as president?
Yes. President Barack Obama did a lot for Black Americans and he was very smart about it, too.Predictably, Obama’s political rivals and their constituency panicked when the charismatic Black POTUS candidate smashed through the GOP’s voter suppression machine with the shear force of his unprecedented rock star numbers. The particularly intense flavor of that panic was one the country had seen before, back during Reconstruction when red-faced white conservatives thought that the long overdue empowerment of the Freedmen meant that their white supremacist dream was over. Their descendants in Nov 2008 thought the same and—based on how they were acting—apparently assumed the first Black President would wave his hand and magically reverse the power structure of Western Civilization from white>Black to Black>white inside of a single term.The post-Reconstruction white panic literally birthed the racist domestic terror hate group model that we know today, and President Obama obviously wasn’t interested in feeding that psychopathic flame. Instead of making grand announcements of what he was doing for African-Americans, he downplayed the activity. In the effort to get pro-Black policies pass the anti-Black mindset of the opposition party, it was necessary to have a wider vision—working hard to address issues that affected all Americans, but hurt Black people more than anyone. The strategy worked and he was able to get many of these ‘bottom-up’ items through.Obama’s most ambitious plan was a long-term strategy to attack Black poverty head-on. With a total commitment to education in math, science and technology for the African-American community, he envisioned a new Black middle class composed of tech professionals and entrepreneurs:But a big portion of that last TPP leg required a 2016 Democratic POTUS to cinch it in, and of course that didn’t work out.Hopefully, the near future will find pro-Black community leaders willing to pick up that baton where it left off and finish the job Obama started.
Why do people give Trump more credit than Obama for improving the economy?
Yes there is some upward movement of the economy from Obama. I will give you one.But for the most part because Trump is not the one to propose and implement a country changing policy that put a Huge burden on businesses and the people to get or change their insurance. A policy that isn’t even sustainable for the long term and was costing the government a ton of money.When the businesses and people saw the heavy weight called Obama was about to be removed and someone that knew how to actually run a Business and Economy was about to be sworn in they Surged in hope and investing.The sad thing is is that Obama likely held things back with many of his policies and we could have had some of this years ago. Trump has stated many many times what he is interested in.JOBS for the people to make better money. Lower taxes for the people and also for companies that in response have raised wages and given bonuses. And also Trump has pulled away from bad trade that was not pulling in enough revenue and making the other countries rich and that he is wanting to negotiate better deals for the USA which will reduce the deficit!Obama was just smothering everything and holding things back. Trump is making worth it for companies to come back and keep jobs here.
In Israel- doctors and garbage men are paid the same amount! This is what universal health care does.....?
should i go to school for 8 to 12 years to get paid 50k or should i do nothing, get any job and get paid 50k Sounds like a lot of people would stop becoming doctors. Also how do you expect me to pay off my school loans if i'm only going to be making 50k a year.
