First, the Manpower Training and Development Act, to stop the waste of able-bodied men and women who want to work, but whose only skill has been replaced by a machine, or moved with a mill, or shut down with a mine; \nSecond, the Youth Employment Opportunities Act, to help train and place not only the one million young Americans who are both out of school and out of work, but the twenty-six million young Americans entering the labor market in this decade; and \nThird, the 8 percent tax credit for investment in machinery and equipment, which, combined with planned revisions of depreciation allowances, will spur our modernization, our growth, and our ability to compete abroad.

1.  Roosevelt responded to the Great Depression by creating new federal agencies and making new jobs for people\n\n2  One of those things was creation of the Social Security system, so that old people could retire and leave jobs that could be taken by younger people\n\nBonus:\n\n3.  Roosevelt led the nation during the Second World War.\n\nNow, do you homework!

Kennedy had chosen to visit Dallas on November 20 for three main reasons: to help raise more Democratic Party presidential campaign fund contributions in advance of the November 1964 presidential election; to begin his quest for re-election; and, as the Kennedy-Johnson ticket had barely won Texas (and had lost Dallas) in 1960, to mend political fences among several leading Texas Democratic Party members who appeared to be fighting politically amongst themselves.

1) Correctly implemented policy for proper economic growth. Slow growth based on actual production is preferable to boom growth based off of hype. The economy is in good shape. Granted more has to be done now that the economy is on the right track, to cut spending back down in certain areas, but the spending was necessary to properly boost the economy and support the military actions.\n2) Has a focus on homeland security and taking the battle to terrorists instead of giving them more opportunities to attack on American soil.\n3) Sticks to his guns. Follows through. Not every decision is right, but he follows through on actions til conclusion.

He wasn't the greatest President ever, but at least the economy as growing steadily and people had jobs (including the Prez himself - LMAO). Oh yeah, and I do believe we had a balanced budget once again, didn't we? ; )\n\nI'm no fan of the Democrats nor the Republicans, so I vote third party all the time. But things seemed to get done on his watch.

It was the mob.  Look back at how many ties the whole Kennedy family had to the mob.  President Kennedy changed his mind about some issues.  The mob didn't like that.

He succeeded Kennedy.  He has the policy of the Great Society.  from wikipedia.org.. The Great Society program became Johnson's agenda for Congress in January 1965: aid to education, attack on disease, Medicare, urban renewal, beautification, conservation, development of depressed regions, a wide-scale fight against poverty, control and prevention of crime and delinquency, and removal of obstacles to the right to vote. Congress, at times augmenting or amending, rapidly enacted Johnson's recommendations. Millions of elderly people found succor through the 1965 Medicare amendment to the Social Security Act.

Nixon came up with a smash hit. He announced a wage-and-price freeze, tax cuts, and a temporary closure of the “gold window,” preventing other nations from demanding American gold in exchange for American dollars. To improve the nation’s balance of trade, Nixon called for a 10 percent import tax. Public approval was overwhelming.\n\nNixon then became the beneficiary of some good luck. An economic boom, which began late in 1971, lasted well into the 1972 campaign season, long enough for Nixon to parlay its effects into reelection that November.

he managed to\n\n\n* de-regulate the country’s tractor industry\n* shorten the alphabet by 33 letters\n* re-introduce the wheel\n* reduce the maximum working weekend from 18 to 16 hours\n* tie Molvania’s currency (the strubl) to the Latvian lit\n* establish the ‘Balkan 7’, a loose regional confederation of land-locked republics\n* amend the Constitution to include a Bill of Rights guaranteeing all citizens the right to bear a grudge\nBut for all these extraordinary reforms ‘Bu-Bu’ is perhaps best remembered for his visionary economic guidance during the 1932 Great Depression. These were dark days for the world and Molvania; hyper-inflation forced people to walk around with wheelbarrows full of money simply in order to make basic grocery purchases. In a move that out-foxed the global financial community, Szlonko Busjbusj dealt with the problem by declaring wheelbarrows legal tender.

Kennedy lent American military assistance to the Bay of Pigs Invasion of Cuba in April 1961. The amphibious assault had been planned by the Central Intelligence Agency under the Eisenhower administration. The actual invasion was Kennedy's decision, however, and he properly took the blame for its total failure. Later in his administration he tried to diminish anti-Americanism in the Western Hemisphere by backing development projects under the Alliance for Progress, but the small sums involved had little impact. The Peace Corps program was developed with similar goals in mind. Kennedy's chief adversary abroad was the Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev. As early as June 1961 the two men talked in Vienna, but the meeting served only to harden Soviet-American hostility. Khrushchev then threatened to sign a treaty with East Germany that would have given the East Germans control over western access routes to Berlin. Kennedy held firm, and no such treaty was signed. The Soviets responded, however, by erecting a wall between East and West Berlin. Kennedy used the crisis to request from Congress, and to receive, greatly increased appropriations for defense.\n\nBy far the tensest overseas confrontation of the Kennedy years occurred with the Cuban missile crisis. In October 1962, U.S. intelligence discovered that the Russians were constructing offensive missile sites in Cuba. Kennedy recognized that such missiles would add little to Russian military potential, but he regarded the Soviet move as deliberately provocative. Resolving to show his mettle, he ordered a naval and air quarantine on shipments of offensive weapons to Cuba. At first armed conflict seemed likely. But the Soviets pulled back and promised not to set up the missiles; the United States then said it would not attack Cuba.\n\nAs if chastened by this crisis, the most frightening of the cold war, the Soviets and Americans in 1963 signed a treaty barring atmospheric testing of nuclear weapons. Kennedy nevertheless remained as ready as before to stop Communist advances. He continued to bolster American defenses and stepped up military aid to South Vietnam, where revolutionary forces were increasingly active. By November 1963, the United States had sent some 16,000 military personnel to Vietnam. His administration also intervened in South Vietnamese politics by at least conniving at the overthrow of Ngo Dinh Diem in November 1963.

1.  Income tax increases.\n2.  Increase in the capital gains tax.\n3.  Activist judges will be appointed to the bench, and constructivist judges will be Borked.\n4.  Possible impeachment of the President in the House, without conviction in the Senate.\n5.  Heavy regulations on trade will spur higher prices.\n6.  Monetary policy will spike inflation.\n7.  Increased regulations on energy will raise prices, discourage competition, and forestall innovation.\n8.  The Fairness Doctrine could be re-established, and curtail free-speech rights.\n9.  Federal limitations on Municipal bonds would be reduced, lowering the availability of smaller counties and cities to get money from places other that the Fed, and hurting the available capital for infrastructure development.\n10.  Democrats proposed two bills to re-instate the draft in the last decade.  The shift from a volunteer military to a conscription military will erode moral in both the civilian and military sectors.\n\nHonest, Intelligent, and no hatred.  Hope this satifies.

Actually, no. A lot of the reforms he tried to implement by executive order were declared a few years after they were decreed as un constitutional by the US Supreme Court. Most of the programs did work, and they were only meant to work in the short term to get the economy rolling again. Some of the things he decreed were wage and price controls, minimum wage, right to organize labor unions, etc. All the things that were implemented to help the working man.
