His first 100 days include:


  • Proposed eliminating decades old subsidies to college loan middlemen, replacing them with direct financial aid to students, saving $48 billion.
  • Calling on Americans to volunteer, the President signed a $5.7 billion national service bill Tuesday that triples the size of the AmeriCorps service program over the next eight years and expands ways for students to earn money for college.
  • Lifted the ban on family travel, remittances and gifts to people in Cuba along with allowing telecommunications companies to pursue licensing agreements in Cuba. Begins to reopen channels of communication with Cuba.
  • Released 1,991 Iraqi detainees held without charge by the United States on suspicion of links to insurgents or militants.
  • EPA moves, for the first time, to regulate carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases that scientists blame for the warming of the planet.
  • Orders the withdraw of combat forces from Iraq by August 2010, with the residual force, between 35,000 to 50,000 leaving by December 2011.
  • Signed Lilly Ledbetter Act, making it easier for women and others to sue for pay discrimination, even if the discrimination has prevailed for years, even decades.
  • Overturned Bush administration's limits on embryonic stem cell research.
  • Banned the use of torture.
  • Unveiled his administration's blueprint for a new national network of high-speed passenger rail lines.
  • Cut off funding for the Yucca Mountain nuclear waste project.
  • Allocated $100 billion of Stimulus funds over two years for public schools, universities and child care centers.
  • Released 250,000 pages of White House papers from Reagan and Bush Sr. era, overturning Cheney’s ban.
  • Passed the LARGEST middle-class tax cut in US History -- $282 billion. Wage-earners who don't make enough to pay income taxes would get a reduction in the Social Security and Medicare taxes they pay.
  • Cut income taxes for 95 percent of families and 97 percent of small businesses. Raising taxes on couples that make more than $250,000.

Take a course in basic macroeconomics, and learn why deficit spending is not stupid in times of recession.

Then come back and make a post that contributes more.

Thank you.
