You know what? Americans clearly think differently then Canadians. I've seen you, and other Americans complain about laws designed to improve human health and safetly because "It infringes on your freedom." You know what? You're not free when you live in a capitalist society where corporate CEO's have little to no responsibility for the health and safety of their customers. Plus the government also has to be responsible for human safety and health. Large Soda Ban - Great Idea! Someone needs to realize that selling drinks larger then the human stomach is an infringement on your right to health 55MPG Car average by 2016 - Another great idea! Again, trucks and SUV's return more profit then cars do, but they have a terrible consequence on the environment. This is a much better way to help reduce emissions then by a straight gas tax. Obama also passed laws which helped Fraud Enforcement and Recovery, Cash for Clunkers extension (which really helps with global warming), various bills to help Vetarans and the Unemployed financially, Tax Credits for Small Companies and other tax credits for the middle class, introduced free trade with South Korea, Columbia, and other countries, and passed laws which keep food prices down (Food Safety and Modernization Act). Obama was your best president since....Clinton, Clinton was good right? I'm not too familiar with older American Politics. |
Bill Clinton regulated the stock market and really turn the job market & economy around for the better. That's some of the reasons why he got re-elected so easily.
Bill Clinton also got rid of generational welfare if you exclude Alaska, which also saved a lot of tax dollars down the road.
No one can blame Bill Clinton and the housing market on the recession that happen in the end of 2008, because the George Bush Housing crash happened in June or July 2007 which was like 18 months before George W. Bush de-regulation of the stock market caused the Global Recession in Q4 2K8.
What cause the housing market crash in 2007 was changes that happen to the housing market during Bush's first and/or second term in the 21st century.
