President Obama And The Presidential Election

extra spending mostly comes from the high-end taxes that if they weren't being spend would be saved and used to produce

First, I must make an observation on the criteria many believe the definition of both parties. According to the encyclopedia Britannica the criteria for being a republican, “The Republicans advocate reduced taxes as a means of stimulating the economy and advancing individual economic freedom. They tend to oppose extensive government regulation of the economy, government-funded social programs, affirmative action, and policies aimed at strengthening the rights of workers. Many Republicans, though not all, favor increased government regulation of the private, noneconomic lives of citizens in some areas, such as abortion, though most Republicans also strongly oppose gun-control legislation. Republicans are more likely than

The 1980 presidential election of the United States featured three primary candidates, Republican Ronald Reagan, Democrat Jimmy Carter and liberal Republican John Anderson. Ronald Reagan was the governor of California before he decided to run for the presidency. John Anderson was a representative in Illinois and Carter was the incumbent. The lengthy Iran hostage crisis sharpened public opinions by the beginning of the election season. In the 1970s, the United States were experiencing a straining episode of low economic growth, high price increases and interest rates and an irregular energy crisis. The sense of discomfort in both domestic and foreign affairs in the nation were heading downward, this added to the downward spiral that was already going on. Between Carter, Anderson and Reagan, the general election campaign of the 1980s seemed more concerned with shadowboxing around political issues rather than a serious discussion of the issues that concerned voters.

The Democrats have diminished spending in military and sunk money into activities that’ll accommodate the nation. Whereas, Republicans have increased their spending, regardless of the nation’s debt.

            If the party was like that over seventy-five years ago, and many would consider such thoughts corrupt, the Republican Party surely must have changed over such a long time. The success of the Democrats during the Great Depression and World War II led many to believe that the Republican Party was the cause of the Great Depression. Its policies certainly would direct themselves toward the contrary yet still the blame rested on them. The blame still rested

The election of members to Congress in the United States of America is contingent on the financial muscles of the candidates and their supporters. It all starts with a deep pocket investment. The recently concluded election will yield a new administration with new cabinet members. The election of Donald Trump as the next U.S President is partly attributable to the synergy and efforts made by some of the most influential people in the Republican Convention. With Trump already appointing some of his chief strategists, it is necessary to conduct a deeper analysis of the financial input of other members of the Congress in an attempt to gain seats.

The position of president has evolved in the almost quarter millennium since the framers created the Constitution. The main issues facing the framers included the position’s structure, independence, and power. Although the modern presidency is different from the framers’ design, they would approve of it, since the concerns that the framers had with the executive still have been prevented. When creating the presidency, one issue the framers decided quickly was the structure, particularly having one president. This satisfied the needs of both the Conservative and Radical Republicans, by allowing for quick action, while still providing clear accountability.

Growing up in the red-state of Kansas, I naturally gravitated towards the republican party, and it was a commonsense choice when I learned of the ambitions of those who occupied the alternative one. Fox News pundits, conservative bloggers, and God fearing Christians, all informed me that the Democratic party was a party full of lazy anti-Americans who wanted to raise taxes because they chose living off the government instead of taking personal responsibility to achieve their goals in life. They also told me that the party was full of libtards, idiots, communists, and socialists, who lacked a healthy understanding of economics and history. And let’s not forget the immoral god-haters seeking to destroy our society by evicting every trace of

One significant issue in the Republican Party is Audit in the Federal Reserve. The Republican Party supports it because the Federal Reserve's monetary policy actions affect both inflation and economic activity, which should be transparent. One significant issue in the Democratic Party is outsourcing healthcare. Democrats believe that the government should take care of all its people's health care (Eleanor, 2015).

Democrats fight for economic justice and security in the U.S. and global economies. For example, fairness is the core principle for the Congressional progressive caucus. It also embodies national priorities that are consistent with the values, needs, and hopes of all our people, not just the powerful and the privilege. They want to invest in America and create new jobs in the U.S. by building more affordable housing, re-building America’s schools and physical infrastructure, cleaning up our environment, and improving homeland security. They also want to ensure working families can live above the poverty line and with dignity by raising and indexing the minimum wage. Whereas the Republicans believe they shouldn’t be spending money on the homeless. Conservatives believe that giving away handouts decreases incentives to work and that, generally, welfare is the enemy of freedom. As a result, The House bill was an attempt to end the Housing Trust Fund. Housing is a human right and people should not have to live in poor conditions. I know someone that was homeless when he was young and that alone affected his mental health because of the

The Republican Party has had numerous attempts to move the otherwise known, GOP more right. The GOP is more favored at maintaining a "limited" government than the Democratic left side liberals who favors a government whose finances and expenses are handled by the government and other high ranking officials. The Republican party is more aimed at conservative values such as minimizing taxes, cutting back government welfare, the death penalty, government regulations of drugs and abortions, and many more. Recent attempts such as embracing non traditional issues such as cutting back government welfare and also their concerns to have the government regulate drugs and also abortions, have made a noticeable difference in public interest in the GOP

With the presidential election coming to an end on November 8th, everyone who is planning on voting has essentially made up their mind. Whether it’s Hillary Clinton or Donald J. Trump, many citizens have taken sufficient amount of time to come up with a decision on who to vote. Months ago, although I knew I would be voting for Hillary Clinton, the most important issue for me being immigration wasn’t entirely discussed by Clinton. It was hinted she was for immigration reform, but it wasn’t entirely clear compared to Donald Trump, whose main goal was to “build a wall.” With this interaction I wanted to learn more about the specifics of her immigrations reform. My main interactions was an email and couple of campaign stops by both Hillary Clinton and a big supporter of hers Bernie Sanders.

At the conclusion of President Barack Obama’s historical consecutive terms in office there is going to be a large number of candidates that are vying for the nominations of the respective parties. Due to the constitutional term limits imposed on the President, Obama is barred to seek re-election in 2016. While there are about 10 candidates running for the republicans, there are only two still in the running for the Democratic Party. The way candidates are recognized by their respective parties to become a candidate for the United States Presidency is first by receiving an invitation to compete in the primaries, then being included in the nationwide polls, as well as being on the ballot for at least 75% of all states. At the conclusion of the February 1st caucus there were 3 Democrats and 10 republicans who were still in the Presidential race, since then one Democratic candidate had dropped out.

The third category, spending and interest, accounts for the littlest of the three categories. In lament terms, Social security, military and healthcare account for the majority of our budget. This is no surprise because Social Security and healthcare are both mandatory spending (services our programs we rely on) and the military is discretionary spending (services or programs we rely on), and as stated above, this accounts for the majority of our spending, thus our debt. We rely on these services on a daily basis, and the baby boomers continue to age, the cost spends on social security and Medicare will continue to grow. The same goes for healthcare. As healthcare continues to be costly, the amount spent on Medicaid and insurance providers will continue to grow as well. After reading and understanding where the money is spent, when I took the Concord Coalition’s Federal Budget Challenge, I had a better realization of how little things can improve the deficit in big ways.

After a gruelling long primary for both major parties, the Republican and Democratic Parties, Hillary Clinton emerged as the favorite-to-win the 2016 election, and several magazines stating before Election Day that Clinton had already won. On November 8th, Newsweek released “125,000 copies” of magazines with the title of “Madam President: Hillary Clinton’s historic journey to the White House” (Greenslade). During the Democratic Primaries, Hillary Clinton’s campaign had already decided on Tim Kaine to be her Vice-President, and decided whom to pick for her Cabinet. Additionally, Hillary Clinton was endorsed by The New York Times, The Los Angeles Times, The Washington Post, and a dozen of other newspapers, and endorsed by hundreds of politicians, celebrities, businessmen, and activists, thus, a great sum of people had confidence that she would win the 2016 Presidential Election (Berke, Harrington). The day before Election Day, pollsters from various organizations, such as New York Times, FiveThirtyEight, and the Huffington Post, predicted Hillary Clinton would win the Presidency of the United States by overwhelming margins, such as 85%, 71%, and 98% respectively.
