WhiteHouse.gov ... last chance to copy stuff. here's info on economic record

https://www.whitehouse.gov/the-record/economy

MUCH more at this site...









Stabilized an Economy in Crisis and Laid the Groundwork for Long-Term Growth


 Took steps to help the hardest-hit Americans. Without the Recovery Act’s boost to household incomes, the poverty rate would have risen an additional 1.7 percentage points—which translates into about 5.3 million additional people that would have slipped into poverty in 2010

 Provided tax relief that gave the typical American family a tax cut of $3,600 over the first four years of the Administration — helping to restart job growth — and made important tax cuts permanent for working families and families with college students.

 Secured substantial reforms to improve education for all Americans — from catalyzing reforms of K-12 education to investing in community colleges to making it easier for students to afford higher education

 Invested in building the economy of the future, from physical and technological infrastructure — including roads, bridges, and broadband — to scientific research to the largest investment in clean energy in history

Helping the Hardest-Hit Americans

• Expanded and extended emergency unemployment benefits ten times, helping a total of 21 million Americans.

• Increased benefits and expanded access to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), formerly known as food stamps lifting more than 500,000 households out of food insecurity.

• Provided additional subsidies so that workers who lost their jobs could continue their health insurance coverage.

• Provided incentives for companies to hire unemployed veterans and disconnected youth.

• Boosted federal Medicaid payments to help states provide health coverage.

• Provided funding to states to support subsidized jobs for 260,000 low-income parents and youth and provided more than $1 billion for youth summer jobs.

• Oversaw 250,000 rural jobs created in 2014 and 2015 combined, and a 3.4 percent increase in rural household incomes from 2014 to 2015. Read more about how rural America is back in business.

Where you can access archival Obama White House content

After January 20, 2017, materials will continue to be accessible on the platforms where they were created, allowing the public continued access to the content posted over the past eight years.

WhiteHouse.gov becomes ObamaWhiteHouse.gov
The Obama White House website – which includes press articles, blog posts, videos, and photos – will be available at ObamaWhiteHouse.gov, a site maintained by the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA), beginning on January 20, 2017. If you are looking for a post or page on the Obama administration’s WhiteHouse.gov from 2009 through 2017, you can find it by changing the URL to ObamaWhiteHouse.gov. For example, after the transition, this blog post will be available at ObamaWhiteHouse.gov/obama-administration-digital-transition-moving-forward.

President Obama, Vice President Biden, First Lady Michelle Obama, and Dr. Biden
Archived content posted to these social media accounts during the Obama administration will be maintained by NARA at the following handles:

I'd started copying stuff off that I wanted to keep, but got bogged down because I wanted to save EVERYTHING, and I wound up getting distracted and sad. So...thanks Obama!!

articles which you may have a hard time remembering how to find in the future. Having actual saved articles helps when in a "discussion" with GOP suckers. You can bury them with documentation and quotes.

This way you're using Google's servers for storing your info in the cloud... and not using space on your computer! This also means you can access your info even with other devices when you are not at home. (If you want to go the 'stealthy' route, use a fake name and fake yahoo account when setting up your Google account )
