From an outsider looking in (Aussie here), Obama tries to re-direct the course but is continually blocked by the congress. Improvements in healthcare or Obamacare as everyone calls it had the legislation watered down by the congress to make it ineffectual. Jobs are being created and your economy is gradually turning around. But 20+years of constant war and major conflict will grind any economy into the ground. Solutions are not short term and if you just stay the course things can only get better.
Some talk about the job market growing. Its really not. Gov is pushing companys to hire more people at the cost of peoples work hours. Would like to see a figure of the job market of people working 8 hr shifts or more.
At op, America is not in bad shape We lost in the knock out rounds of the FIFA World Cup, tough luck. It's all good Who cares what's going on in the news, most of its public gossip and social media at its best People getting jobs is what's Important , and according to the poles (numbers don't lie) recently , unemployment numbers are on the decrease
Being someone in that top 1% people always talk about you can go shut the **** up! You obviously have never cares to read about or listen to that top 1% 1st - There is a reason we are in the top 1% we actually understand economics and know what we are doing. Not saying you don't but obviously our way has worked.... 2nd - We actually have a 50% increase of what everyone else pays in taxes... This is why we choose to avoid paying taxes through all kinds methods. If we didn't get taxed at such a great increase we wouldn't try to avoid paying the full amount. 3rd - We do not owe any of you anything. I have worked hard my entire life. Losing my dad at the age of 12 my family had very little. All it takes is some hard work and a goal. TLR -- if your in the topic you might as well try to learn something
In reply to sazh...I am nowhere close to being in 1% but i am not hating on people that are..I am glad for anybody who succeeds...Not wanting to see them punished..The owner of my company is top 1% in world..And i thank him for my job everyday
I reread what I wrote and it sounds to me like I am trying to say we are better in a way which I was not trying to even hint at... I was just voicing my opinion. Also Chew I agree with what you said and you seem like a cool dude
I am not in top 1% but have done well for myself…that said i dont think what alot of the well off corporations are doing to the people…the top 1% owe alot to the people who have helped them get where they are…people are not peasants placed on this earth to make the rich even more so
What would make the US a better place, is that you should actually focus on important stuff snd not lame stuff like what celeb wore or who is dating who or all dat ****. Also u should focus on your own country first instead of sticking your long nose in other countries stuff that DOESN'T concern you by any means...
