An idea of President Clinton’s for improving the economy was
Margarita [4]

D. Running the country more like a business.


When Clinton took office as president in 1993, the government needed to balance its budget, just as a business would do. Under the Clinton administration, tax rates were raised to increase revenue. The Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1993 (also known as the Deficit Reduction Act) raised the top income tax rate from 28 percent to 36 percent persons with income above $115,000, and to 39.6 percent for persons with income above $250,000. It increased the corporate income tax rates and ended some corporate subsidies.

Government spending was cut also by reforming welfare. The Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996 pushed for welfare recipients to seek employment, and limited the total time they could receive benefits to five years.


Clinton also increased the business marketplace for the United States by signing the North American Free Trade Agreement, eliminating tariffs between the United States, Canada, and Mexico.


Ultimately, Clinton's economic policies paid off. More than 22 million new jobs were created during his presidency. Unemployment went down, from 7.5 percent to 4.0 percent. The government's budget deficit dropped from $290 billion to a budget surplus of $128 billion.

Why was the role of women equal to men in the haudenosaunee group?
xenn [34]

Answer:

The women were equal to men in the Haudenosaunee group because they were a matriarchy. That means a social organization where every or most of the powers derive from women and/or femininity.

Explanation:

In the Haudenosaunee matriarchy, families followed a matrilineal system: children and property passed on according to their mothers, not fathers. When a couple married, the man came to live in the woman's family house, not the other way around.

It was a clan of mothers that appointed leaders and could discard leaders. Women had rights to their property and the products of their work.
