Obama, here's an idea ...

If I had the opportunity to give some advisement to our new president I would start with the whole idea of cutting down taxes. In my opinion the best way to go about money is investing it. Yes, maybe it would be nice to not have to pay that extra dollar when we buy our new jeans, but wouldn't it be better to actually have a well job, and not have to worry about that extra dollar because we have a stabled salary.
If the new president and the government make better decisions about spending money in creating jobs, instead of supporting people that DON'T have jobs that would help them more. Maybe at first when we don't get jobs or tax cuts, we as citizens wouldn't understand and would reveal against Obama, but eventually it would be better and more effective.

In 1961 John F. Kennedy talked about the economic recovery and how it should relate to jobs. He said: "Expansion and modernization of the nation's productive plant is essential to accelerate economic growth and to improve the international competitive position of American industry ... An early stimulus to business investment will promote recovery and increase employment." If JFK lived that would probably be one the advisement he would have for Obama. Create more of the good stuff that the country has and take advantage of it.

If Obama is not careful enough and instead of creating jobs he lets only the big companies be in charge of the job percentages and take control in that matter. It can happen the same tragedy that occurred during the Gilded age. Industries owning peoples lives and week people letting them do it because of the great necessity they had. It may sound a little bit extreme and over the top to compare this time we are going through to the gilded age, but it is always a possibility to go back to the same mistakes we once made. The great depression is a good example of regression instead of moving forward.

Another thing I would tell Obama is to be more careful and strict about the billouts the goverment gives to the companies. You should be more cheap when it comes to spending money on them and ask for better excuses from them. That way the money will be spend more wisly and thinking more about the people that don't have even a job, and not concentrating on the few CEO's of this world.
