Look at our nations economic history since World War II. Five U. S Presidents have overspent our GDP; four of them have been Republicans, Obama is the first democrat to do so.
The highest overspending was under G W Bush who over spent by 20.7%, his father had the second highest over spend at 13% and Ronald Reagan had the third highest at 11.3%. Nixon ad the lowest overspend at 0.1&; President Obama is at 9% . President Clinton managed to get us pretty much back on track and left office with a substantial surplus available.
However, G W Bush came into office, spent all the surplus, borrowed money from foreign countries, never repaid the loans or the interest on the loans, and overspent the GDP by 20.7%. The loans and interest on the loans never even showed up in the national debt or budget until 2009. The Republicans are doing everything they can - AT THE EXPENSE OF TAX PAYERS AND OUR NATIONAL RECOVERY - to see that the Obama Administration fails.
Instead of jumping in and doing a great job in helping get our problems solved and winning respect for doing so they find it easier to follow Mitch McConnell's lead in creating failure in Washington and then blaming it on Obama! I think the American people ar smart enough to see this though!
WITHOUT A DOUBT! The Republicans, even before Obama took office, swore they would do anything they can to see he fails. Mitch McConnell (how does he keep getting reelected) reiterated that same GOP objective following the 2010 elections and things have got worse.
They have done just that. Rather than help get America back on have blocked Fix America actions, they have spent millions on a media bashing of Obama and his efforts, and they are ready to see America continue in the mess we are in rather than help get us on track as long as they can blame it on the Obama Administration. They fear any success in getting us straightened out would lead to Obama being reelected.
Mitch McConnell has millions of dollars and what is happening to 99.5% of Americans is not bothering him at all and he cares less how the others are being hurt (why does Kentucky keep sending this jerk back to Washington?). The same thing in a smaller version applies to the rest of the men and women in Congress; they make enough and have enough paid for through expense accounts that they are not feeling the pain. They have been instructed (ordered) by to GOP leadership to do everything they can to see Obama fails and to use Republican talking points to destroy any credibility his administration may have.
Listen to the Republicans; almost at the same time each Republican comes in front of a TV camera or on a stage and says the same exact thing; it can only happen when they all receive the same talking points. Anyone who could believe these people all wake up one morning thinking the same thing and start saying the same thing at the same time is nuts. Why would every Republican take the same exact stand on an issue when it has not been debated; because that is what they have been told to do and what to say about it!
WITHOUT A DOUBT - our country continues to suffer the mess we are in because the Republicans have refused to cooperate in doing anything that would give credit to the Obama Administration. If Obama was to fail it should have been on his own and not through the manipulated efforts of the GOP which has cost Americans billions of dollars and done nothing to help Fix America!
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
