Mr. Vice President President Obama spoke a lot in his address about cutting spending, and yet many of the proposals he spoke of - under the banner of "investing in the future" - sound like an increase of spending instead. How are such dueling goals going to be managed? Specifically, what is the Obama administration going to do to invest in education and address rising costs of tuition all across the country?
This is a promise the President has made over and over again, and yet from my perspective (a college student approaching graduation and facing the costs of a master's degree) nothing has been even attempted let alone accomplished. To truly invest in the future, this country must invest in its youth. This President enlivened and excited the youth demographic for the first time in years and yet halfway through his first term, I see more and more of my peers becoming disenfranchised once more.
When will the government address the needs of students? And how can doing so be reconciled with sweeping spending cuts? Thank you Bethany Simpson Western Washington University Political Science Department.
The Small Business Administration (SBA) is a Joke. Commercial Real Estate Lending is in Crisis. The Banks aren't lending to Condos, Malls, Affordable Housing Apartments or Businesses to Open New Stores and Hire.
Small Business Credit and Business Credit Cards are tougher than ever to get. Banks have money but aren't lending. We bailed out Wall Street.
When are you and the President going to use the Executive Branch to Put the Squeeze on Banks using Executive Orders? You could Ask the FDIC and all other Banking Regulators to Audit Any Bank that Doesn't give a certain Percentage of Small Business Loans or Invests more money Overseas than does here in America. You could also Enforce the Community Reinvestment Act (CRA) and Put more Auditors on Banks that Don't lend to the most impacted areas that need credit to hire or open stores or factories. Why not also have the Patent Office and SBA work together so that Every New USA Based Patent automatically qualifies for an SBA Loan without further Paperwork.
The Patent Paperwork is enough Red Tape. If you have a Patent, you should automatically qualify for up to $100,000 Loan from SBA to market and sell your invention.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
