A new article from Fox News says that President-Elect Barack Obama has declared the country is facing a huge economic crisis of historical proportions. Perhaps it is, or perhaps it is not.
Obama has outlined a plan to create nearly 2.5 million new jobs to rebuild the infrastructure of this country along with developing new energy sources and producing better, more efficient cars.
That is all well and good, but how about actually treating the disease, not the symptom? Maybe, as opposed to creating those jobs to prevent others from becoming unemployed as the economy crashes even further, Obama should actually fix the economy.
Some pundits compare this crisis to the Great Depression but others call it a recession, so who knows? It may actually get to be that bad. If it does, we as a nation are in big trouble. Those of us that are college undergrads may find ourselves with no job prospects when we graduate. In
If our nation gets that bad it won’t just be college grads that are out of a job. It will also affect a lot of other people, such as Joe the CEO, Joe the Plumber, and Joe Six-Pack just to name a few.
I think that Obama’s idea to create new jobs will help the economic crisis, but will not cure it. For that to happen, the nation, both the citizenry and the government, needs to spend less and save more, which hopefully, will fix the economy and its many problems. Good luck getting the nation to do that, Mr. President.

In Political Jedi’s editorial, I was able to find some excellent and concise arguments this person have made. Political Jedi succeeded in giving effective clear and evidence for their arguments concerning “Obamas New Workforce”. I agree with the fact that our government really should act promptly for the economy is drifting in a recession. Even though Obama is creating nearly 2.5 million new jobs, developing new energy sources and producing more efficient cars, he is only “treating the disease, not the symptom”; that was a great way to put it.
I want to discuss about our employment issue and I also would like to offer one simple solution regarding jobs being distributed abroad. I don’t understand why so many companies are destroying economy, giving away jobs to countries such as China and India. Sure giving away those jobs to overseas workers may cost less than giving it to American workers, however this will take money from Americans and when Americans are broke, they won’t spend money, and companies will suffer if Americans do not spending. So how are companies going to make profit? Why can’t companies just give American workers the jobs instead? To me, this is truly outrageous. Our so called fellowship, where has it gone to?
I am deeply worried for our generation and the future generations to come, for jobs are becoming scarcer by the day. How are we going to continue living in this state? I really don’t want history to repeat itself; I remember that America was once in the Great Depression, and people had to burn money in exchange to keep themselves warm.
