Poor HW. But this list is pretty biased considering that ot states a good thing for Dems and a bad one fo Reps when they both do good and bad. I don't even like Reagan but is foreign policy wasn't that bad.

So I'm going to copy this for you as well.

"Or it's a matter of looking at exactly what the picture says....presidential goals.  Not individual actions but goals.  Not this was good and this was bad but the central focus and tenet of their presidency."

For the elderly they should save whIle they're working for retirement and they have family to depend on.

1. Social Security is a form of savings.

2. Have you considered the fact that saving has become impossible for many people?  Are you ok with letting those people just...well, die..because they couldn't save enough?

Say they retire at 75 (several years after retirement age) and yet live to 100.  That's 25 years.  If they saved $200,000, they'd have just $8,000 per year to live on without considering for inflation and cost of living increases (which have more than doubled in the past 25 years).

But the overall goal of those Presidents who gave more money to the rich were to reduce taxes in general. And yeah it's still very biased because it picks a good goal of Democratic Presidents and a not so good goal of Republican Presidents.

1. In a way it is but people are basickly paying for each others saving. Instead we should be responsible for how much we save by ourselves.

2. Saving is not impossible. It can be hard like many other things but definitely not impossible. If we transition to a world with no social security people would have to save so they would not die lol.

Family could also help. And when you retire you can still continue to make investment to make more.

2. Ok, maybe not use nukes but other types of bombs that will be able to destroy their bomb sites and not cause damage to surrounding areas. 

I know you've backed off the idea of using nukes but I need to solidify one more factor in the "why we should not" column....at least so long as Trump is still president.

 

"You know what uranium is, right? It’s this thing called nuclear weapons. And other things. Like lots of things are done with uranium. Including some bad things.
But nobody talks about that." - President Donald Trump.

 

I'm really not comfortable with this guy having the launch codes and unilateral authority to use them.

Well he is not wrong. Uranium can be very very bad. But yeah i don't think we should use nukes anymore but instead bombs. This should have been done many years ago honeslty.
