Reaching out to Cuba and eliminating our embargo.... Was capitalist! Opening up new markets to sell goods?
...true, but it seems that we either get someone who is too far right or too far left. Like I said I'm a bit liberal on some issues yet quite conservative on others....I just don't simply see things in black and white.
...some of his programs/policies did help us out of the great depression...of course part of the remedy was WW II too.
We haven't had a far left president since.... Not since I've been alive. Clinton and Obama were both Center Right. Carter? I don't remember his presidency. He did put dollar panels on the white house.
Bro, @MarAzul is a participant in the most successful of programs in American history. A program that was created by FDR. This program took us from over 50% poverty rate for senior citizens to the 6% we are at today. Social Security.
and now the current administration wants to cut back on Social Security. First they steal from the funds and now want to reduce it all together. Crooks.
Something they promised not to do. Also something Paul Ryan has wanted to privatize (after paying for his college with SSN dollars). @MarAzul do you support privatizing Social Security?
My Alabama grandparents had nothing but social security and a tiny black lung disease pension. They partially fed themselves from a back yard garden that my grandfather worked up until he died at 77. Being from rural Alabama meant he smoked unfiltered cigarettes, ate a lot of pork fat in one form or another and drank plenty of moonshine. Amazing that he lived that long. All I can say is that for an awful lot of people thank God for social security.
No. We, way out here are far, too vulnerable to insiders an even those way closer to the info. But I would like it to be a workable system. This one sucks but we are forced to participate even though it has been and is piss poorly managed.
