from running out of work under Bush and being laid off for 7 months. I have worked 50 and 60hours per week under Obama and the company I work for has about 4 years work right now. so thats a change I like.
when Obama took control, jobs were going down the drain at 100, per month to add to the total job loss of 9 million. he spent a lot of money and stopped the job drain. and it takes a while to clean up a disaster before you can rebuild. Obama has created 4 and a half Million jobs in the last 27 months and adding about 100, per month. a change I like.
he put forth a health care plan, where in the past the rest only talked about it. while 35 million people were without healthcare. Millions of Americans—from the women who can now access free checkups to the seniors saving on their prescriptions to the 105 million people that have seen lifetime limits on their insurance coverage lifted—can continue to enjoy these important benefits. And now, we can move forward on implementing the provisions to come, like new state insurance exchanges, and making sure no American is denied coverage due to a pre-existing condition.
12.8 Million Americans Receive Insurance Rebates
Before health care reform, insurance companies routinely spent up to 40% of premiums on overhead and administrative costs. Today, thanks to Obamacare, insurance companies are required to spend at least 80% of your premium on your health care—and if they don’t, you get a rebate. This summer, nearly 12.8 million Americans will start receiving their rebate checks, averaging $151 per household—and totaling more than $1.1 billion.
3.1 Million Young Americans Gain Health Coverage
Before the Affordable Care Act, young people could be kicked off their parents' health insurance as soon as they turned 18. But thanks to health care reform, 3.1 million young Americans who would otherwise be uninsured have been able to stay on their family's coverage until age 26—coverage that often includes free preventive care, like checkups and flu shots. a good change.
he spent about 30 billion on green jobs, the
absurd allegation that the stimulus did not create any American jobs (when the Congressional Budget Office’s economists
state that it created or saved between 1.2 million and and 3.3 million jobs) and the
overreaching claim that President Obama has “wasted” $34 billion on investments like Solyndra (when in fact only 2 percent of such loans have gone bad).
I have a long memory span, it goes back more than 4 years. I think the man will get reelected, and get us back on track. he has a rough road ahead. things are bad around the globe. and maybe Mitch Mcconnell will have something other than making Obama a one term President his number one priority. which would help.
and there's not much that can happen, that surprises me anymore.
