cwIceland has a population of around 317,630 people as of January 2010, lower than the previous year. The main industries are fish processing, aluminum smelting, geothermal power production, and tourism. Over 80% of Iceland's primary energy comes from renewable sources like hydropower and geothermal. Iceland has a small, open economy that was successful until the 2008 financial crisis when its debt to GDP ratio rose and unemployment increased, leading it to seek loans to repay depositors and focus on lowering costs to boost exports.

Tengowski - Viii 2 obama domestic policy
Obama pursued an aggressive domestic policy in response to the Great Recession, passing a large economic stimulus package and sweeping Wall Street reform. His signature achievement was the Affordable Care Act to provide health insurance to millions of uninsured Americans. However, this substantial spending contributed to increased budget deficits and national debt. Obama also advanced civil rights issues like repealing Don't Ask Don't Tell and supporting same-sex marriage. His domestic agenda faced partisan opposition in Congress, leading to a government shutdown, but the economy and job market gradually improved during his presidency.
