If Obama did, I think it will help Trump with his base. Trump can cop out saying he cannot deport 12 million people now ignoring the fact that it is impossible to do.
This notion, Bernie would have definitely beaten Trump is just a ludicrous assumption. 66% americans view socialism very negatively and Trump would have the same message against Bernie that he hadn't done anything in the last 40 years of public service. Only thing that would be going for Bernie would be his "trustworthiness".
If you are in the low income bracket or a farmer, you can accept the money and deposit in the bank without any ramifications. All this will happen before the deadline.
It is hardly going to fix the black money problem. Rich people have so many employees to do the bank run for them. Within the next month, you will see a huge spike in real estate market. People with black money will dump it in the real estate market. (If you are not an Indian, this is how it works. You buy an apartment/home/building for the amount X. But you declare it to the government that you bought it for X/10. The guy who sold it now has the black money which he can reinvest or based on his income level, can deposit in the bank. If he is a farmer, he can pretty much claim it as agricultural income and pay no taxes). So, basically, black money will trickle down rapidly in the next month or so.
It is comforting to know. the world is same!
As a student from a government run poorest rural village school in India, my college professors constantly questioned how I was outperforming and even suggested that I might be using the bribery system to get good grades in standardized final exams. TBH, I actually enjoyed that experience.
I ask a dude standing on a corner to give me directions to a place. Now,the dude is supposed to publish his logic as to how he arrived at those steps in the directions?
Another destination: India. If you are a female, then south India. You can stay at descent hotels in Bangalore or Chennai for $25/day. Another $20 per day for food. Watch how multinational IT companies treat their employees. Feel good about yourself and come back rejuvenated.
So, basically, what she says is, if you earn in US, healthcare is affordable in India. She seems to think $4,300 is cheap and affordable for all Indians. Only the upper middle class and the rich in India can spend that kind of money. (Only about 25% of Indians have health insurance).
Ok..I did it in the early 90s. In my case, It was nothing but a slave labor. What I meant is, while I was doing the same kind of work that I currently do for corporations, I got paid a pittance while the school and the project sponsor gained much. Having said that, I would do it all over again. I really enjoyed the campus life 5 more years! :)
