1. The American car industry can save themselves. If they did not advertisie on t-v. Anyone who wants an car is smart enough to use the internet Or do like we did in the old days go to the car lots. I really think they can dig themselves out of their hole. 2. I am all for building new interstates; make the new ones for the cars/suv/small trucks, and put the 18 wheelers on the old interstates. This would certainly put alot of people to work. 3. I am all for the animal rights, but what about human rights. Wish you could have seen the 21 week old baby that used its tiny hand to grasp the surgeons finger, while he was doing an operation before it birth. Why are animals more important than little unborn or new born babies. I think they are all God's creatures. How can we kill our babies or pets. 4.Lastly, having taught public school for 30+ years. I would love to be your Sec. of Education. I think our public school education is dumbing down our children,wasting tax payers money.I also know how to correct this problem, and how to make kids WANT to be in school to learn something new everyday.Public school kids use to have to learn Latin in elementary and high school.
If they had to work in the heat or cold to build a wall around our boarders, they would beat the teachers to school to learn the lessons that teachers had spend preparing for them all weekend. They would not think of walking around with their pants to their knees, and the crime rate would drop quickly. We need to give kids a love to learn. I do agree that we do have teachers that need to find another job. Teaching is a 24/7 job. The pay is sad, but if you can reach one kid it will put a smile on your face. If you can't smile find another job. I am glad your kids are not in public schools for now. Well those are my comments from Alabama. I hope my thoughts are read.
Time will tell
Didn't the changes, i.e. relaxing, for the credit requirements for people to get a home loan get changed prior to the Bush administration? Wasn't this first done back under Jimmy Carter and then revisited under Bill Clinton? It seems to me that the roots of the "mess" could actually be traced to the 1990's dot com bust as well. And it also seems to me that this happened under both Republican and Democrat dominated Congresses alternately during this same time??? If we are more interested in assigning blame than getting the world's financial house in order, then we should be giving credit, i.e. blame, equally to all who deserve it.
Obama's Birth certicicate
Has Obama ever produced his Birth Certificate to prove that he was born in the USA?
What Mr. Obama has done in protecting US jobs
What Mr. Obama has done in protecting US jobs, especially fighting off-shoring high value knowledge jobs such as IT and high tech positions? I would feel extremely betrayed, if all his promises turned out to be nothing but election rhetoric.
Time will Tell
If President Elect Obama fails then the non believer will say" I told you so" but if he is successful then no one can blame him for the success he achieves. After all he inherited this mess, which took 8 year to create, from the Bush administration. The USA is still a young country that will learn from the mistakes that all past and present leaders have made and will make. Yet we as a nation will rise to challenge and prevail throughout the test of time.
Give him chance and let time be the judge of his actions.
Not Religious but praying
Let's all please take a moment and not only give this man a break from politics but let's also pray that God gives him the ability to get us out of the turmoil we are in.
HASTE
WE NEED TO GAVE HIM ALL THE HELP WE CAN. AFTER ALL HE DID NOT START THIS MESS. WILL NEED TO SIT BACK AND WATCH AND WAIT TO SEE WHAT HE WILL DO. HIS APPOINTMENT TO HIS CABINET IS LOOKING GOOD. HE HAS BEEN MADE THE LINCOLN OF ARE AGE. ONCE AGAIN LINCOLN DID NOT START THE MESS, BUT HE HAD TO SOLVE IT
Old Policy
High expectation, but the same old Democratic party's policy, with big spending, and big well-fare system...
sorry for the negativity
I agree with you on some aspects, Margarita. Problem is, the world doesn't work that way any more. There aren't that many places you can get money for scrap metal, as there aren't many places in the states that will use it. As far as a check to the treasury, I don't feel we should be doing that at all, seeings how they already take it out of the paycheck. And the biggest debt is to the citizens themselves. They've taken money out of Social Security over the past 30 yrs that, with the interest it would have earned, would be plentiful and we wouldn't be talking about the end of SS.
Another big problem, is that this is not a problem we can get out of individually. I scrimp and save as well, but then I turn on the news and am told that I am the reason for the down economy. That the less I spend, the less a retailer makes, and the less people they keep employed. A few months ago, I was told the consumer was the problem for buying more than they could afford. Seems like no matter what bad decisions these companies make, it's always their customer's fault.
I think the best thing we can do, is as you suggest....take care of ourselves first, and then do what we can for others. Hopefully Barrack will put the government on our side, but I am not holding my breath.
