Answer:
1. Tax Policy
Both Democrats and Republicans are for tax cuts but they don’t often agree on the best way to achieve that. While Democrats have always insisted that tax cuts should only apply to low income and middle income households, Republicans feel that such cuts should actually apply to everyone including the big corporations and the wealthy.
2. Social Issues
If you ever wanted to see the difference between Democrats and Republicans play out very clearly, tell them to speak about social issues. You can easily tell where a person stands on the political divide based on how they view things like gay marriage, abortion, and gun control. Republicans are conservative in nature. They will always take a conservative approach to social issues. This is the main reason why many are opposed to the idea of gay marriage or abortion. Democrats, on the other hand, are progressive and liberal. While they have always called on stricter gun control, they have been pushing for the recognition of gay rights and the right of women to choose whether to have an abortion or not.
3. Labor and Free Trade
Republican are pro free market. They don’t like to see increased government regulations or interference in the labor market. This is why the GOP is opposed to increasing the minimum wage arguing that businesses need to keep costs low so that they can prosper to the benefit of all Americans. Democrats, on the other hand, believe that corporations have too much power. They favor government intervention to even out the field. For example, they believe that a set minimum wage helps to bring more money to the pockets of all Americans which is good for the economy.
4. Health Care
Health care is another area where the two parties don’t agree. Democrats believe that the state should take the role of offering health care. They want to do away with private insurance arguing that it’s expensive for ordinary Americans to afford. However, Republicans believe that too much government involvement on health care could in fact drive up costs and affect the quality of care.
5. Social Programs
Democrats have always believed that it’s the job of the government to help the most vulnerable people in society. This is why they favor social programs like food stamps and Medicaid. Republicans, on the other hand, want a lean government that spends money only on essential things like security and defense, not social programs.
Credit is essentialy a loan given that is paid back with interest. Arguably, credit caused the Great Depression. Many Americans invested in the stock market with credit when they did not have the money, so when a recession in the stock market occurred, many stockholders were in huge debt. Banks that lended money were out of money, and depositors lost money. This caused homes to foreclose, and because of the decrease in consumer purchasing power (people were in debt), companies laid off workers and unemployment rose.
