Democrats, led by President Obama, are trying to gain more followers by putting tax breaks and government backed loans for small businesses first on the agenda. The democrats submitted a multi-billion dollar package of tax breaks and loans to congress for approval, and received approval on Thursday. Obama and the democrats are attempting to “illustrate their efforts to revive the faltering economy, and to define republicans as obstructionists.” Democrats are using agenda setting to gain support from US democrats and to make the Republican party look bad. This relates to our class because we have been discussing the agenda-setting process, and here is an example of agenda setting put to use in politics.
