We aren't talking about what past presidents have done, the post asked if called the other presidents by first name or not.
Well, he shouldn't only be focusing on jobs. It would be a bit stupid to only focus on jobs when many of the issues we had help create the job problem, so clearly some things have to be corrected first, like keeping our entire economy going.
Shortly after he took office he actually did start paying attention to the job market, the skyrocketing problem stopped, the rate has come down, and jobs have been created, in and out of his stimulus. Point being, he did not ignore it, at all.
Anyway, Obama's plan, which was put together by 26 leaders in the private sector, included things such as:
- Job education for todays jobs.
- Cutting the b.s. on construction and infastructure projects, also putting back construction workers which is a few million people.
- A huge focus on the tourism business which is extremly large employment and money wise, by making it easier/quicker to get visa's - something that greatly slows this business down right now, even with our weak ass dollar.
- And SBA loans being more available.
Some other aspects that he's already done is investing in new technologies that we can own and produce and sell to the world. Which is why he has such a push for green technology, even if it doesn't happen today or tomorrow, it will happen, and we should be the leaders of it.
While it's fun to think the free market takes care of this, as history has proven, it needs a little bump from the fed now and then to get the free market to wake up. And every time it does, we've seen the biggest economic growths in our Countries history.
