Can you not see? The Republicans are doing it again. Just like the recount in 2000 when Republicans interrupted the count by banging on the doors and stomping and yelling in the halls. Now it's the Economic Recovery and Reinvestment Plan the Republicans are trying stop why? They never stopped any of George Bushes spending programs. What would work better? Their answer as always tax cuts, tax cuts tax cuts Republicans are a one trick pony.
George Bush promised that tax cuts would create jobs in 2000 so here we are eight years later with eleven million Americans out of work. MIT Grads standing on the corners in NYC handing out Resumes. So if the highly educated can't find work what do you think your high school education or a couple of years of college is going to due for you?
Let's look at the problems. This economy like and onion has many layers: first jobs, then lack of credit and the housing losses. The banks will not lend money because so many people are losing their jobs, they won't lend to small businesses because they are losing business or are afraid that they will be going out of business. Banks are over burden with foreclosed property they can't sell and they cost the banks money sitting empty.
We sent President Obama to the White to change this country and to make things better for us. We need to tell the Republicans to get the heck out of the way if they don't have any new ideas to help the country. All of a sudden they are the watch dogs of tax payers dollars. Who was it that got us into this mess in the first place. They try to place blame on the housing industry but they forget the Republicans allowed the regulations to be relaxed resulting in risker loans. Thus creating the current foreclosures all over the USA.
If you don't think this is a us vs them you need to think harder. Why do they always want to cut education for our children, most of their children go to private schools. Is it not the job of the Government to educate our children, to turn out the next generation of leaders? President Obama came from the public school system he has given hope to so many who have for so long thought they didn't had a chance.
We need the Economic Recovery and Reinvestment Plan to get people back to work. If your working you are buying food, paying taxes, paying mortgage, dry cleaning, credit card bills, car payment etc... the economy is moving.
We also need to make the banks aware that if we bail them out they must lend us our money. It is not for them to make themselves bigger and stronger but to help us the people.
As far as housing mortgage melt down is concern I think going forward we should do the following if you have a ARM the banks could rewrite they mortgage for the same amount without the adjustment, go fixed, give folks ten more years to pay them off keeping the payment they can afford. No loss to the banks, city, state or home owner, and It doesn't cost any money.
We voted for change not for the Republicans to try and tell us what will or will not work who do they think they are? What they keep putting forth (tax cuts)didn't work and they keep pushing they same thing. Help or get out of the way!! America needs new leadership and we put President Obama in office.
President Obama believes that if we do not act quickly, this recession could linger for years – and America could lose the competitive edge that has served as the foundation for our strength and standing in the world.
That's why the President has put forth an American Recovery and Reinvestment Plan that will jumpstart job creation and long-term growth by:
* Doubling the production of alternative energy in the next three years.
* Modernizing more than 75% of federal buildings and improve the energy efficiency of two million American homes, saving consumers and taxpayers billions on our energy bills.
* Making the immediate investments necessary to ensure that within five years, all of America’s medical records are computerized.
* Equipping tens of thousands of schools, community colleges, and public universities with 21st century classrooms, labs, and libraries.
* Expanding broadband across America, so that a small business in a rural town can connect and compete with their counterparts anywhere in the world.
* Investing in the science, research, and technology that will lead to new medical breakthroughs, new discoveries, and entire new industries.
We Won! The American people! The constitution says "We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, ensure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America."
The Constitution of the United States of America is the supreme law of the United States. Empowered with the sovereign authority of the people by the framers and the consent of the legislatures of the states, it is the source of all government powers, and also provides important limitations on the government that protect the fundamental rights of United States citizens.
So come on people write your Congressman and Senator. Let them know you are hurting. See he or she has a job you don't. They own two or three houses you don't you get the picture. We don't have the luxury to sit back and debate we need action. We the people back our President and for all you who don't we will see about you losing your job come the next election.
