I will be focusing on just a few key areas that have been struck due to the recession for President Obama and the Great Depression for President Roosevelt and how each man either fixed the problem or is attempting to. Here is just a short list of issues: unemployment rate, financial institutions and the stock market. Just like President Roosevelt, President Obama hit the ground running with his uncanny ability to act upon the economic crisis that was yet again effecting the American people. Obama scored major points with the people since within his first hundred days in office he was able to get congress a much needed stimulus package for their approval that would take care of the financial crisis the American people were facing with major businesses and financial institutions declining at a very fast pace. However, Roosevelt was facing a much worse scenario with an unemployment rate of nearly 25% after the stock market crash of 1929.
I will also rebuild our economic infrastructure that we have neglected while we spent plenty of time rebuilding other countries. During World War II we were established as an icon of a superpower with developing industry. We once had massed productions and multiple corporations. In the past, presidents have allowed for companies to send their corporations to overseas entity leading our country into a realm where there are no jobs. As a presidential candidate of the United States, I will bring back those companies and re-institute a stronger infrastructure that will make more costly to do business in the United States of America.
The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation has committed a further $750m to a global fund to combat AIDS, tuberculosis and malaria. “These are tough economic times, but that is no excuse for cutting aid to the world’s poorest,” said Microsoft founder Bill Gates at the World Economic Forum (WEF). Gates has said that the rich should pay a greater share to get the US’s economic house back in order, but has defended capitalism as an economic system. Gates wrote his first software program at the age of 13. In high school he helped form a group of programmers who computerized their school’s payroll

In the year 1924 one of Stresemann’s aims as Foreign Minister of Germany was to get the country back on its feet financially so that it would be possible to keep up with the set negotiations by the Treaty of Versailles. Being that when the Weimar Government signed the Treaty they agreed to pay reparation to all of the allied countries at a cost of £6.6 Billion, this proved to be very hard for German economy to keep up with after the First World War. Stresemann helped Germany at this point by adding reforms to the country such as the Dawes Plan; this was an agreement made between he and American banker Charles G. Dawes had made that stated that the Ruhr area was to be evacuated by Allied occupation troops, the Reichsbank would be reorganized under Allied supervision, and sources for the reparation money would include transportation, excise, and custom taxes. This ended the hyperinflation and also gave Germany longer to pay reparations. Stresemann was also able to make the agreement with the USA that America would be lending Germany 800 million gold marks, which kick-started the German economy.
The Materialist Fallacy The Materialist Fallacy is an article written by David Brooks and it explains how America life has turn around the way of living of the people. He claimed that from 1912 to 1962 the country was in an economic crisis do to the many wars such as the world wars and the cold war. The life of the Americans in that period of time was much very familiar; families were incredibly united do to marriages and more social acceptance. Now days, Americans life style is different, they are in no more wars trying to keep peace in the world and became a prosperous country. These changes have bring negative effects on society because know the family union is not as strong as before.
Going back to President Obama’s first run for the presidency, he used his Mom sickness as the means to better the cost of medical so others would not go without. I have looked up different prices of Obama care and they are harsh. Reading over the different rules and regulations of the Obama care in 2015, it states that the less you make, then the less you’re going to pay (Obama care Facts, no date). I did a calculation and just for my husband and me, these are the results I had provided to me. Your results shown are for a Silver plan Your income is 127% of the Federal Poverty Level 2.82% of your income is the max amount you have to pay towards your health insurance as defined by the ACA Your Monthly Cost Eligible Subsidy $557 Your Eligible Subsidy $510 Your Adjusted Monthly Cost $47 With these
ABSTRACT “Welfare policy successfully weathered an economic hurricane in the mid 1970’s and an ideological blizzard in the 1980’s” (Le Grand, 1990, p350). A statement suggesting that the welfare state in Great Britain had survived a crisis period in history. In the early 20th century it was highlighted in regards to the amount of poverty that men were suffering. Reforms after WWII were implemented and with Keynesian Economics there was an effort to improve the living conditions of the British people as well as the economy. This policy found itself in trouble on a few occasions but during the 1970’s there was a worldwide crisis and Britain asked the IMF for a large loan.
Bob Herbert thinks that with the economy, recession, and school system that the American dream is over until we can change. On the other hand, Cal Thomas thinks that there is a way to attain the “original” American dream. Lastly, Brandon King goes into detail on how this American dream is “more alive and important than ever”(King573). In the following essay, I will explain the relationship between the authors’ different views. “However you want to define the American dream, there is not much of it that’s left anymore”(Herbert564).
Recessions and Economic Policy. Please respond to the following: Discuss the main causes of the 2007-2009 recession. Identify and analyze some mistakes of economic policy makers which led to what some refer to as “The Great Recession.” Propose and defend alternative policy measures. The first mistake that was made during this period of time was the failure of the government to address unemployment. This subject is near and dear to my heart because my husband was laid off several times during this period and has still been laid off now for nearly a year.
