Letter to the President

To Barack Obama,

America has been dealt a monster of a task in the home stretch of this election. The economy has deeply fallen into a hole that a bailout can never permanently bandage. Businesses have closed, jobs have been lost and there has been more controversy than ever. The backbone of America is cracking down into bits and pieces. Getting out of the pitfall will not be easy, but it is probably the most important issue on this day. Embarrassing America is something we do not need other countries to observe. We can avoid this by creating new jobs and shift our taxes.

Prices on goods will go up, and wages will go down. If this continues the citizens of America will not survive the turmoil. Wall Street and Main Street have felt the heat in the economic recession of 2008. The economy seems to be failing more and more every day, some cases nearly 10% of Dow Jones stock dropping each day. Debt and credit is failing, currency is weakening, and incomes are being shattered. The bailout plan will give businesses back their lead, and jobs will hopefully follow, but how will you, personally, keep the economy stable? How will the future be affected or inflicted by this, if anything? Food and gas prices have exploded in the last couple years, but wages have stayed the same, and middle class families are suffering from it. If you give the middle class tax breaks or better tax refunds I believe you can make a jump in the economic boom. Things will go back to normal eventually. We can't depend on foreign oil forever. We have enough resources to last us centuries. We need to make friendly environment cars affordable, like solar and hydrogen. We have the technology to do it. It is time to do something about it. Making these kinds of cars affordable would make a brand new field to work in, create thousands of jobs and most important of all, be safe for the earth.

It's important to protect the economy and keep it strong. New projects create new jobs that are vital to running a positive economy. But in the end, hope is what we need the most, and allowing that same hope to produce for our country would be inevitable. The time to change is now.

We have to stop the tax-raising war in Iraq! It's incredibly costly, and soldiers are losing their lives every day. The war in Iraq is costing nearly three hundred forty three million dollars every day. I think we should stop the Iraq war, and bring in all the troops by 2010. There are many reasons we should, and one of those reasons is that the soldiers fighting in the war all have families in the U.S. worried sick about him/her. Because nearly 3 soldiers die in the war every day, families become even more worried. One more reason we should stop the Iraq war is that because prices for the war are skyrocket high, taxes will increase, and that can lead to poverty.

On the other hand, some people say we should continue the war until we find Osama Bin-laden, I agree, we do have to find Bin-laden but there's another way besides war. That "way" is a well thought out invasion of Afghanistan and Iraq. People's feelings on this war, is that they want it to end. So many mixed feelings on this conflict, the approval rate on this war are 28%, while the biggest is a disapproval rate of 71%. You yourself have a rate of 79% against the war, and John McCain has 20%.
