The Best and Worst of Americas Presidents Throughout U.S history there have been many good presidents and also many bad presidents. I believe that presidents should be graded on how they handle the economy, foreign policy, and equal rights. From our first president to our current president those I believe are the three most important grading points. A good economy is very important because it gives people a better living by giving them job opportunities and a way for people to make money. Foreign policy is important because it has a lot to do with the trade, technology, and communications of the United States.
Britain was considerably fair in terms of responsibility and judgment. This is evident by the war debt of -130 000 000, for Britain was in extreme deficit but managed to stay together and still govern the colonies. However, that was not enough—Britain needed some sort of income, some money coming into the country. And
I believe that Germany becoming a communist country was more of a big problem than families losing because once Germany became a communist country they were most likely going to stay like that for a long time however with the money lost the families could always find new jobs. Moreover in my opinion I think that middle class support helped gain many votes for the Nazi party. The middle class people link to the big businesses. Many middle class people owned big businesses and with Hitler coming into power it made them feel secure of communism, if
Although this policy failed, it was an attempt to settle issues by concession and compromise rather than by war. 3. A.J.P Taylor said the 1930s can be summed up in two short phrases, the two sides of life did not join up: Mass unemployment and appeasement. But at the same time, most English people were enjoying a richer life than any previously known- Longer Holidays, shorter working hours, and higher real wages. They had motor cars, cinemas, radio sets, and electrical appliances.
These advancements are, arguably, the threshold of America’s economic success. By using appropriate economic policies, President Reagan helped to reduce both federal spending and taxes in the United States and by doing so he attracted a significant amount of investment in his country. Although he has his own school of critics, Ronald Reagan made such a great contribution in the United States that his success as a president can be compared to very few presidents in the history of the United States. His confidence in what e believed
Although our relations with America did improve, and have later proved to be very important, missing out on Europe was a major mistake. This has had an impact on many later governments, and ultimately towards the formation of the European Union. However, even though I see the years as being wasted, it can’t be denied that the 3 successive election victories the Conservatives had were impressive, and show that they did have popular support. Although unemployment remained low, house building increased, and Britons had ‘never had it so good’, I think that the mistakes outweigh these positives and the period can certainly be described as ‘thirteen wasted
Fortunately, “low-skilled immigrants usually fill gaps in American labor markets and generally enhance domestic business prospects rather than destroy jobs; this occurs because of an important phenomenon, the presence of what are known as “complementary” workers, namely those who add value to the work of others.” (Cowen, 2010) In addition to investing and starting new businesses, immigrants filled in jobs of different pay-rate and skill spectrums where a high percentage of Americans do not want to fill. Many jobs that requires long set of working hours are often taken by immigrants. Americans are least likely to take low-skilled jobs and it is the immigrants who take those jobs. Thus, it is often found that majority of low-skilled jobs are taken by immigrants. With less opportunity and benefits for them, immigrants are encouraged to take any job available to them.
Immigration Allowance The foundation of America was built by immigrants. Without immigrants we wouldn’t have the cultures and traditions we utilize today to establish our American identity. Immigrants, legal or illegal, have contributed positively to the economy by taking low end jobs, establishing their own businesses and engendering jobs for others, and they’ve helped develop cutting-edge technologies. Immigrants outdo low-skilled Americans for jobs, because according to Economic Edge immigrants are more motivated and productive. According to the Foreign Policy Initiative, “an estimated 4.7 million U.S. workers are employed by immigrant owned firms accumulating some $776 billion in revenue.
The 700 million baby boomers were dubbed for “indulging in an obsessive self-interest that critics blamed for everything from rising crime and divorce rates to child abuse, and urban decay.” (Fischer) But I think it is safe to say that this was the least of our problems. It is very easy to say that over the years we have had our beneficial times and then we have had our extreme downfalls, but when a problem has arose; our country does a very good job, for the most part, of trying to fix the problem. “Americans have shown the energy and hustle to produce economic growth.” “America is a country that goes every year to the doctor” Brooks Wrote, and every year it is told that it has contacted some fatal disease-…and a year later, the patient comes back with cheeks still red and muscles still powerful.” When we have a problem, we address the issue and do everything we can to keep this country running and we haven’t failed
After all, half of the ships on the open seas were registered in Britain. She controlled about one third of the world’s trade. Most importantly, the British initiated the unstoppable process known as the industrial revolution that ultimately changed the world with new inventions such as the railway, steam power and electricity. Although, on the one hand, Britain brought many benefits in colonial states by upgrading the country’s natives people through inventions they already possessed in their country. But on the other hand, they have not made it to help humanity and to improve their lives.
