Trump has many flaws that could cause his fall. Like our classmate Aimee Williams said in her blog about Trump, he can be racist, sexist and disrespectful. President Trump is not a charismatic person, he is rude in all the possible ways. He has not only offended many women verbally he has undermined the whole country. Outside of the country many people see Trump as a crazy person. He was no qualities of a presidents and has on many occasions given false information. Like Williams said, Trump should be impeached for all his flaws. I have read several reports and even seen some on the new that he harassed and called women names. That alone should be enough not to qualify as president. The president is supposed to represent the people. The race for presidency has changed to race for power. President Donald trump had no career background in politics, and he now is president. How is he supposed to solve all the political problems having no knowledge of it. All his public mistakes and all t

In her blog post , Carol, talked about how unevenly money is distributed. She explains how the top one percent of the richest people have more money than the lower 90 percent of the people combined. The fact that the few have more than the rest, is mind boggling. The gap between the social classes should not be this open. Carol is correct, most of the rich people have money because their parents were rich and the money just keeps on being passed on from generation to generation leaving behind no opportunity for the average person. Since the distribution of money is so far apart, the poor are left behind. In oder for the poor to study or succeed they need money but how can they earn enough money if the minimum wage is so low. I too, like Carol, believe that one way to try and fix this problem is by raising the minimum wage to a reasonable amount. Not only would allow more money to enter the economy. It would create the rich people with big business spend more money and giving more to th

Taryn Luna wrote a blog about parenting problems in the Los Angeles Times blog. In Luna's blog, "California Assemblyman Joaquin Arambula says he was arrested after spanking his daughter," Luna talks about the events that occurred that day using quotes from Arambula's statement. Arambula was arrested on Monday on suspicion of cruelty to a child. This would be considered a misdemeanor under Californian law. Knowing his political line of work, this charge could ruin his career if he found guilty. Arambula's statement says that he does spank his children only when it comes necessary, but even then he claims he only does it at last resort. Arambula said that children when growing up can sometimes act out and it is important as a parent to educate and discipline their child. I too agree with Arambula's statement, a parent is responsible for disciplining their kids when they act out. If one does not discipline their kids they can grow and become irresponsible. The a

The government issue I would like to talk about today is the minimum wage. The federal minimum wage today is 7 dollars and 25 cents per hour. That is awfully low for a family. While this amount would barely if even enough for one adult. Working 40 hour weeks this would earn a person just over 15,000. For someone who has a family this is not enough for a living. Instead if the minimum wage is increased to something more reasonable, not only would it create more jobs but it would allow for the circulation of more money. People will be making more money, therefore they will also be spending more. That is pretty much how the economy works. The more someone has to spend. The more they will spend. Also the poverty level would decrease as well. The newly created jobs will allow people to become employed, and it will also make more people be over the line of poverty. And with more people over the line of poverty, the government has to spend less on welfare programs for the poor. The government
