60. How I View Our Recent Presidents
President Obama was again sent to the White House by many Americans. With this second win, our higher schools of education will be filled again, just like the GI Bill of Rights filled these schools after WWII. With the GI Bill of Rights and President Kennedy's space program, I and others became educated and invented many new things. Our higher education caused the USA to become a world leader.
After we landed on the moon in the late 1960s, the space program and military budget were reduced and unemployment increased. To reduce unemployment, the U.S. Justice Department sent me to the White House to hear a very progressive infrastructure program of President Nixon. This progressive program died after President Nixon was forced out of the White House. President Nixon's progressive infrastructure programwas very exciting to me.
From 1974 to 2012, the U.S. economy suffers three ways: (1) from rising unemployment; (2) from rising inflation, and (3) rising national debts. President Ford asked people to lower inflation (Whip Inflation Now). President Carter causes double-digit inflation. President Reagan caused increased debt and lowered inflation. President Bush (Father) caused increased debt. President Clinton caused no unemployment, no inflation and no national debt. President Bush (son) caused increased debt and increased unemployment. Finally, President Obama causes increased debt and lowered unemployment.
As seen, President Clinton was successful. And President Obama could also become successful. Both of these presidents are followers of President Roosevelt and President Lincoln. Howeve, I believe that the U.S. economy can never come to rest, as Mitt Romney proposed. I say that the economy of any nation must always become more perfect.

Again George you're talking in platitudes. Exactly what would be a more perfect economy, be specific.

Hi David
The three concepts, unemployment, inflation, and national debts, are not dull They are important because the tell us how our presidnts think and act. Romney's thoughts were too narrow and did not deal with the whole. Obama's thoughts are very wide. And he recognized the whole.
