How many Eisenhower golf games during his presidency?

88

Under Eisenhower there was a large governmental economic stimulus in the form of legislation establishing the National System of Interstate and Defense Highways. Construction began on new highways that linked the nation. It was modeled on Germany's highways -- the autobahn -- which Eisenhower had experienced during his tour of duty in Europe. Ninety percent of the construction was to be paid for by federal tax dollars and ten percent by the states.
The Eisenhower years were marked by low unemployment and low inflation. And the national debt indeed declined further, as it had under Truman. When Truman left office the gross federal debt was down to around 71.4 percent of GDP; when Eisenhower left office it was down to 60.4 percent. The U.S. Economy from Eisenhower to Carter



During the administration of Republican President Dwight D. Eisenhower, a 92 percent marginal income tax rate for top earners in the United States remained from the previous administration of Harry S. Truman. At the time, the highest tax bracket was for income over $400,000.

This was nearly the highest tax rate for top earners in the century, just under the 94 percent rate for income over $200,000 instated during World War II under Franklin D. Roosevelt's presidency.

In 1954, the 92 percent marginal rate decreased to 91 percent under Eisenhower. The maximum tax on long-term capital gains was 25 percent -- a rate that remained in place for a decade. From Eisenhower to Obama: What the Wealthiest Americans Pay in Taxes - Yahoo! News


Eisenhower’s budget for 1954 reduced former president Tuman’s proposed expenditures by $5 billion and he cut the $10 billion defecit nearly in half. Throughout the rest of the 1950′s the average life style of the American increased. One reason for this was the transition of more people from urban areas to the suburbs. Over the decade, the housing supply increased 27% (1950s Economics).

Also under Eisenhower’s presidency, he decided against any government organized health insurance and also refused to allow tax cuts. His goal from this was to gain economic stability. Throughout his eight years in office, the economy grow at an average of 2.4% each year Economic Policy Dwight D. Eisenhower
Life styles improved for most American families throughout Eisenhower’s presidency.
The country was in good shape under Eisenhower. He could afford to take time off to play golf. In Obama's case, America is burning and Obama is fiddling at the golf course.

Yet another stab at women from the left. Obviously, anyone with small children at home can't be as good a leader as those without them. so all those single moms out there just need to accept thier limitations and stay home on welfare.

That's the question isn't it. Will Obama be able to straighten out the problems despite not being interested in the duties of his office. He shows no interest in getting a Federal budget passed but he is going to fix the economy? Not likely.

Obama, straighten out?

What in the world are you talking about? Seriously?

Look being a defacto Marxist, is your business. But how in the world at this point could you expect this Administration to fix anything? A blind man three days dead at the bottom of a coal mine in the midst of a solar eclipse -- on Charon, could see that these people are incompetent.

Hey, you won't get me to say anything bad about Truman. He is one of my heros.
