In the month of March the unemployment rate in the United States reached 5.1 percent. It can also be seen that the U.S. has lost more than 200,000 jobs this year. Presidential candidate Barack Obama said that the American people are being hurt by a poor economic policy put in place by president Bush. He claims that Bush’s answer to every problem is simply tax cuts for the wealthy.
Claiming he has been ahead of Clinton on critical proposals, Obama said he called two years ago for a crackdown on predatory lending that fueled the nation’s housing problems. He boasted that he was the first presidential candidate to call for a middle-class tax cut and the first to seek a tax rebate as part of an economic stimulus package.
It does not seem like the end of the election can come soon enough. The faster we get Bush out of office the better. No matter who the next president be, McCain, Obama, or Clinton, it will prove to be a significant improvement.
