1. Has Obama tried to reverse the disparities in wealth since before taking office by speaking about, "redistribution of wealth" and then actually pushing for wage increases for those working minimum wage jobs, pushing for and getting a higher income tax on the wealthiest, etc? Was Obama fought at each instance by the Republicans?
2. Did Obama, "bail out wall street"? I've suggested he pushed for the SECOND bailout of GM and other automakers as they were about to go belly up and those moves saved the industry in the USA. GW Bush bailed out wall street.
3. What is inaccurate about this statement: "We have a Democrat President that bailed out Wall Street, has pumped tons of money into QE 1, 2 and 3 that has all helped very wealthy people."(hint: a few things, not just one)
a. Does the POTUS direct the FED? Does the POTUS have any say in FED policy other than in choosing a FED chief?
4. Is the following statement largely correct or largely incorrect: Wages have been stagnant since the 1970's with concern to inflation.
5. Is this statement true: Baby boomers are retiring in record numbers and the labor participation rate has been falling since the 1970's when the baby boomers reached their largest numbers in the labor markets.
6. Is this statement true: Can baby boomers be seen as working longer, i.e., to ages not seen before WHILE ALSO retiring in record numbers which lowers the participation rate?
Those are NOT difficult questions to answer yet one of our posters struggles mightily with them year after year after year.
