But we are nearing the end of his first two years in office during one of the most prosperous periods in modern times. What's up with that?

But what marked {him} as a failure is the abiding sense that he was simply out of his depth in the White House. He loved playing poker and womanizing, but was less interested in running the country. His cabinet and official appointments included a large coterie of old pals including several of his relatives. Many of these people made personal fortunes from taking bribes and astonished congressmen and worldly Washington journalists alike by their ignorance of the responsibilities of the offices they held. The most egregious scandal of {his} administration involved the corrupt sale of licences to drill for oil on public lands.

That’s according to the Guttmacher Institute. So a lot of women died in that period.”No: that is the number of illegal abortion performed not number of mother's deaths. It would be the number of baby's deaths. The actually death rate of the mothers in 1950s to 1960s was approx 300-200 annually. Still too many but certainly not 1.2 Million. less

This method would shield more of the gains from taxation because the initial cost of the asset would be adjusted upward to account for inflation over the time period between buying the asset and selling it. Such a change would provide a major tax benefit to wealthy Americans. By one estimate, two-thirds of the $102 billion in cuts would be enjoyed by the top 0.1 percent of America's income earners. Households in the bottom to 40th percentile of income earners would see no benefit, while those in the 40th to 80th percentiles -- the middle class -- would see just 1 percent of the benefit.https://www.cbsnews.com/news/how-trumps-next-tax-cut-would-benefit-americas-richest/ less
