President-elect Obama - Adding A Little Truth to It
Hello Everyone,
Evelyn here,
In his address yesterday President-elect Obama added some already well known truths about the path of economy recovery and employment before recovery is seen.
---------------
Politico.com Breaking News:
-----------------------------------------------------
In an address on the economy to be delivered this morning in suburban Virginia, President-elect Obama warns that the economy “could become dramatically worse” and the nation could face unemployment above 10 percent without bipartisan support for his $750-billion stimulus plan. Using his signature word “change” twice in brief excerpts released by his aides, Obama calls for "a new course for this economy" and declares: "Only government can break the vicious cycles that are crippling our economy.”

A Special Message from Governor Charlie Crist
Hello Everyone,
Evelyn here,
With a message from Governor Crist about the new stimulus package and how the fund will help Florida businesses recover and generate new employment.
----------------------
January 6, 2009
Dear Friend,
Today I had the pleasure of meeting with economic development organization leaders to discuss my Economic Stimulus Plan targeting small businesses, a proposal that will help Florida’s small businesses expand and reach their fullest potential. The result will be new jobs and a stronger economy for current and future generations of Floridians. Now more than ever, our Florida businesses need the resources to grow. By helping them build their futures now with a modest investment of taxpayer dollars, we can plant the seeds that our homegrown businesses need to flourish.
This two-pronged Economic Stimulus Plan would require a state investment of no more than $10 million. A loan program of $8.5 million would support companies with between 10 and 99 employees that demonstrate high potential for growth and expansion. The loans, up to $250,000 per business, would help these companies purchase new capital, train existing employees, and hire new workers. In addition, my plan calls for $1.5 million for economic stimulus. This economic infrastructure will assist small businesses so they can grow and prosper.
Already, we provide support and incentives for new startup businesses and for larger companies in specific sectors that are considering relocation to Florida. We will continue to work to help new businesses form, and to recruit companies here to Florida. But we also have small businesses right here in Florida that are ready to expand and create new jobs. They just need a little push, a little help. I believe government should provide that push so that small businesses can expand now, creating new jobs even during these challenging economic times.
Research and data have proven the wisdom of focusing on the expansion of small, existing businesses. Businesses of this size have the highest potential for growth and new jobs creation. Between 2005 and 2007, just eight percent all Florida establishments were companies with 10 to 99 employees. Yet those companies created nearly 36 percent of the new jobs during that period. These are significant, impressive numbers that illustrate the wisdom in adding this plan to our economic development strategies such as Accelerate Florida.
Florida is feeling the effects of the economic adjustments that are impacting the nation, and we must continue to explore pioneering and smart avenues to strengthen our economy. These challenging economic conditions require us to join together, and with multiple approaches, to aggressively focus available resources on activities that keep Floridians employed and move our economy forward. By making this conservative investment in our small businesses, we can make a dramatic and positive impact on Florida’s economy and your quality of life for decades to come.
May God continue to bless the great state of Florida and her people in the coming year.

FREEING A NATION IN DEBT
FREEING A NATION IN DEBT
Hello Everyone,
Evelyn here,
with a few words on Obama’s weekly president-elect pep talk to the nation.
Obama wants to start this relief stimulus by putting the nation deeper into debt. The current national debt is fast approaching the $11 trillion mark, and this is the downward swing. Now, Obama is asking for an amount of money ranging between $675 billion to $775 billion for next two fiscal years, and some say this amount could rise to $850 billion by legislators adding additional packages to the deal.
No one doubts that America needs change and some immediately relief from the hardships cause by the economy going south last year, but will shelling out billions upon billions to stimulate a failing country the answer. The plan behind this stimulus will supposedly created millions of jobs and gives some “immediate but short term” relief to families hurt by the lost of their employment, and ergo, the necessary income to pay bills and keep up with their monthly mortgages.
Furthermore, this new stimulus is also being granted to outset major companies on the verge of bankruptcy that will then and supposedly lower the cost of goods and adding more relief to the consumers’ wallets. There is also the hope that once relieved that of these companies and others that consumers will then buy more goods, which frankly was a dismal failure early last year. Families were already feeling the affect of last year’s economical failure, cutbacks and lay offs. They used their stimulus funds to help keep their heads above water and their creditors from their front doors. The notion that this new stimulus plan would not have a similar affects at a time when millions upon millions of more people have become jobless since the issuing of the first one and the threat of more jobs being lost during this new year of 2009 would be remiss.
Sure, the country needs to recover and change does take time, and we need the strong beliefs that this country can and will be turned around for the better, but still, let’s hope Obama and the other decision makers up there in Washington are not gambling our nation away and the future of it people along with it.
Here is where we are as a nation at the time you have finished viewing the video and reading this article.
National Debt Clocks and Savings Clocks
Obama Urges Congress to Pass Stimulus
So you know that I am not alone in my thinking that we need to be concern about how our govenment in handle the debt and deficit problems check out "Great News: National debt may jump $2 trillion this year" by Rick Moran.
We want change, but let’s keep it real.
