There are three main procedures for nominating presidential candidates: primaries, caucuses, and national conventions. Primaries and caucuses are used by each party to select a single nominee to represent that party in the general election. At the national convention, delegates formally select their party's nominees for president and vice president. The candidates then campaign across the country leading up to the general election in November, where citizens vote for electors who will ultimately choose the president through the electoral college process.

Yahowa Yari is a song that praises God, saying that with God's wealth and protection through angels, and showering of true love, God makes everything possible.

The White House has been the official residence of US presidents since 1800, with the exception of George Washington. It was designed by Irish architect James Hoban and built between 1792-1800 near the Mall in Washington DC. The White House was burned by British troops in 1814 during the War of 1812 and was rebuilt after the war. It has since undergone many renovations and additions by different presidents and first ladies.

The document discusses President Obama's proposal to extend middle-class tax cuts. It proposes extending tax cuts for families making under $250,000 per year. This would benefit 114 million middle-class families. Failing to extend the cuts would increase taxes by an average of $1,600 for each of these families. The plan aims to reduce the federal deficit by $1.16 trillion over 10 years by not extending high-income tax cuts for those making over $250,000 annually.
The Obama Administration recognizes that the interconnected challenges in high-poverty neighborhoods require interconnected solutions. The Neighborhood Revitalization Initiative is a community-based approach to help neighborhoods in distress transform themselves into neighborhoods of opportunity.
This document discusses reversing declining middle class jobs and incomes in the United States. It provides 12 figures analyzing job and income trends since the 1950s which show that (1) job growth was much weaker in the 2000s than previous decades, (2) median earnings have stagnated since 1981, and (3) the share of middle class incomes has declined since 1980. The figures also show that economic growth and job growth resumed in 2009 and have continued since.
The House Republican budget would cut taxes by an average of $150,000 for millionaires and billionaires by ending Medicare as we know it and reducing investments in education, medical research, and other programs that benefit the middle class. The budget fails tests of balance, fairness, and shared responsibility by disproportionately benefiting the wealthy at the expense of programs that help ordinary Americans.
The document summarizes the plans for Prime Minister David Cameron's state visit to the White House, including an arrival ceremony welcoming Cameron and students, a visit between Mrs. Obama and Mrs. Cameron at American University, and a state dinner that evening featuring a locally sourced menu and performances by Mumford & Sons and John Legend.
The Obama administration has pursued an "all-of-the-above" energy strategy to increase domestic energy production from various sources and reduce U.S. dependence on foreign oil. Domestic oil production has increased under Obama, though gas prices are impacted more by global supply and demand. The U.S. needs to develop alternative energy sources because domestic drilling alone cannot meet energy needs given that the U.S. has only 2% of global oil reserves but uses 20% of the world's oil.
The document is a blueprint from President Obama outlining his plan to build an American economy that lasts. It proposes policies to create manufacturing jobs in America, train skilled workers, develop energy resources, and ensure fairness. Specific policies include eliminating tax deductions for outsourcing and creating credits for insourcing, lowering taxes for manufacturers, reforming corporate tax codes, strengthening trade enforcement, and investing half the savings from ending wars into rebuilding infrastructure to create jobs. The plan aims to strengthen the middle class and reward those who work hard through a fair set of economic rules.

Unpredictable Earnings: The volatility of pay packets and its impact on livin...ResolutionFoundation
油
Most people are used to receiving regular monthly pay cheques, hopefully with the occasional bonus and an annual rise. But while this is often taken for granted, for other workers the size and timing of their pay cheques are far more volatile with knock on effects on their ability to pay bills, save, plan ahead and smooth their living standards over time. But with Brits notoriously adverse to talking about pay, the scale of earnings volatility across the country is unknown.
How many workers are subject to volatile earnings, and how much does the timing and size vary from pay cheque to pay cheque? Who is most likely to experience earnings volatility, and in which industries is it most prevalent? What are the wider living standards consequences for families? And what can policy makers do to mitigate the impacts of unpredictable earnings?
