Economy

Many people are saying that we need to get out of debt. Many have good proposals to get out of our 13 billion dollar debt, although nobody is willing to listen to others' ideas. Some say tax the wealthy, others cut taxes to get people to spend more. Many say cut government spending, the only question to go along with this is where is government spending cut? In the school systems, government jobs? I have heard people blaming everything that is going wrong with our economy now on George Bush, I have heard Bill Clinton being the blame for this.
 George Bush was delt a bad hand for when he was the President of the United States, it was not his fault that the attacks on the World Trade Center on 11 September 2001. The sudden plummit in the ammount of jobs in the United States I feel was largly due to the President before George Bush, Bill Clinton. Bill Clinton signed the Fair Trade Act, which allowed companies to go else where for production and labor. As soon as Clinton signed the Fair Trade Act jobs left the United States for cheeper labor so more of a profit could be made. If we bring jobs back to the United States we will not rely on forgien countries for all of our goods and we can once again be a self susstaining country.
