Education is an issue discussed in the Presidential Debate. Bush and Gore both agree that there is nothing more precious than educating a child.

Both President Bush and President Obama had very different ways of running the country during their presidencies. Overall, President Bush used less persuasion on major domestic and foreign policies than President Obama. With these differences among the presidents, they both passed and approved laws that would try to better the nation and it’s citizens.
The U.S. president is a person deemed to be the most fitting person to lead this country through thick and thin. It’s been such a successful method that it has led to 43 individual men being put in charge of running this country. However, this doesn’t mean that each one has been good or hasn’t had an issue they couldn’t resolve when in office. But no matter what, each one has left a very unique imprint on the history and evolution of this nation. However when two are compared against one another, some rather surprising similarities may be found. Even better, is what happens when two presidents are compared and they are from the same political party but separated by a large numbers of years between them. In doing this, not only do we see the difference between the two but the interesting evolution of political idea in one party.
Bush v. Gore was a controversial case that was heard on December 11, 2000. This case decided the outcome of the 2000 presidential election between Vice President Gore and Texas Governor George W. Bush.
In the United States of America, every four years, American citizens sit down and vote upon who they would like to be the new up and coming president. Citizens often debate on different aspects that would affect their presidencies, such as their domestic and foreign policies. The two past United States Presidents of Theodore Roosevelt and Franklin Delano Roosevelt are two presidents that are often compared on their different policies due to their family background. After realizing that the two are brothers, individuals often assume that the two are similar in their policies, while in fact, this is certainly not the case. While some Americans may believe that Theodore Roosevelt and Franklin Delano Roosevelt are similar in their presidencies
In theory, political campaigns are the most important culmination of the democratic debate in American politics. In practice, however, the media shrouds society’s ability to engage in a democratic debate with unenlightening campaign coverage. Because of this, it is difficult—if not impossible—to have educated political discourse in which the whole, factual truth is on display. After years of only seeing the drama of presidential campaigns, the American public has become a misinformed people.
He knows that having a strong middle class is what makes a strong economy. He was able to lower taxes for the middle class, allowing working families to save $3,600. This allows for those lower class families to build up to the middle class without seeing it all being taken away by taxes. Obama believes that instead of reducing taxes from the upper class to increase them. Mitt Romney plans to reduce taxes of the upper class would lead to large tax cut for those making over $3 million by an average of $250,000. That drop of cash flow would very negatively affect the economy. It would lead to the loss of many jobs overseas. The Obama tax plan demonstrates a functional plan I see for America. (Republican Views
Economics is the study of currency and how it is made and distributed through our economy. Taxation is one of those main issues in this category. The Democrats and Republicans both consider taxation a major issue but both have different ways they are trying to deal with the problem. The Democrats believe that extending tax cuts to the middle class families of America that make less than 250,000$ a year while raising taxes on the extremely wealthy and huge corporations to help parents pay for college (“Democrats Unveil”). While the Republican Party says it would “try to eliminate taxes on interest, dividends and capital gains altogether for lower and middle-income taxpayers also would work to repeal the estate tax and the alternative minimum tax” (“Democrats Unveil”). They both want to change the tax policy to try to help pay off our debt and or help Americans to live an easier life. Another Key issue in this category is Medicare. Both parties believe that the Medicare policy should be changed. "Democrats adamantly oppose any efforts to privatize or voucherize Medicare" when the Republicans pledge...
In 1992 the incumbent president George Bush was seeking reelection. It was the general consensus that he would be the 'hands down, no contest winner'. When the smoke had cleared and the votes were tallied, many were shocked at the results. Arkansas Governor Bill Clinton had defeated the incumbent by a landslide! How could this be? How did the commander and chief of what could be considered the greatest victory in modern American history defeat the Iraqi army and one year later lose the election for the presidency? The answers to these questions as well as explanations for the outcome lie within the campaign strategies and tactics used by each candidate. There were various major political events and public opinion data that occurred throughout the general election stage of the campaign. This paper will analyze both the political events and the public opinion data, in hopes of developing a better understanding as to what helped shape the overall outcome. There were three candidates in the race for the presidency, President Bush (R), Bill Clinton (D), and Ross Perot (I). Each of the three, to a greater or lesser extent, focused their campaign on the economy. President Bush focused more of his campaign on criticizing his opponents primarily Bill Clinton. He would often compare the economy to that of other nations, claiming it wasn't all that bad and resumed attacking his opponents. Bill Clinton on the other hand focused his campaign strategy on implementing the need for 'change.' At that time the national debt and unemployment was rising. Clinton vowed to improve the economy and the quality of life for the American people by bringing about change. Ross Perot was more of a crusader against Washin...
President- elect, Donald Trump, and Vice President- elect, Mike Pence, have stated their views on Planned Parenthood and how it should be defunded; especially Vice President elect, Mike Pence, who has a history of trying to defund Planned Parenthood. In 2007, Mike Pence introduced a bill to defund Planned Parenthood, and kept pushing for it until it passed in 2011. "If Planned Parenthood wants to be involved in providing counseling services and HIV testing, they ought not be in the business of providing abortions," Pence told Sarah Kliff in 2011. "As long as they aspire to do that, I’ll be after them." So after this troubling statements and bills, I decided to set the record straight. Planned Parenthood is a nonprofit reproductive health care organization. It’s services provide STD testing, pregnancy prevention, contraception, counseling, cancer and HIV tests, and abortions. Planned Parenthood is a well rounded health care organization for men and women. They use their resources to help you not the other way around. Planned Parenthood is a program designed to help all human beings. Planned Parenthood shouldn’t be defunded; instead it should be keep being available to all human beings visiting or living in the
Some may say that the values are infact similar because they both value experience. This is displayed in the debate of Dan Quayle, a young and inexperienced candidate, and Lloyd Bentsen who was older and well respected for his experience.
Although both Presidential speeches are in different eras, they still had an equal effect of empowering the United States. The similarities enforced past ideas while the differences present new ones. A considerable similarity is the fact the speeches were given just before the United States of America went to war. A major difference between these two Presidential addresses is the way they persuade Americans to commence war: Franklin D. Roosevelt uses heated anger to fuel the fire of the American hearts and in contradiction George W. Bush guides Americans to battle with visions of unity and alliance. Although the speeches have an equal amount of similarities and differences they complement each other as day and night.
Both Presidents are similar in some ways because they both are trying to help the U.S tax policies become better. They both have plans that involve laws or programs that can help the tax rate be equal in their own way they think it is fair. They both have one way that helps the taxpayer like acts that they both have passed and some that they left enforced. They set budget limits in which how much they can spend a year for certain amount of years. They are both trying to help but in some ways, they make it unfair for all taxpayers in certain and different ways.
The Democrats have a liberal ideology and “tend to represent urban areas where most voters favor social welfare spending and environmental and other business regulations…also tend to take a more tolerant view of the diversity of racial, ethnic, and sexual identities”(Davidson, p.98). The Republicans tend to be traditionalists and are, “…economic and cultural conservatives who promote business large and small, advocate certain religious causes and generally support military expenditures” (Davidson, p.98). These opposing views are the bases for candidates’ with polarized ideologies within both

The agenda starts with education. Whether you’re conservative or liberal, Republican or Democratic, practically every economist agrees that in this digital age, a highly educated and skilled workforce will be the key to not only individual opportunity, but to the overall success of our economy as well. We cannot be satisfied until every child in America-and I mean every child- has the same chances for a good education that we want for our own children.
