Obama is now the president of the United States. Will this be the end of the free market federalist America that we know, or will it just be changed to work better? At this moment you have conservative talk show hosts saying that Obama wants a socialist market, others say he will simply fix the system to make it stronger. What the future holds no one knows. Despite if you like or dislike Obama everyone can admit he gives a good speech. His inauguration speech was very good. I believe he truly does want to help the country, even if I do not like the way he wants to do it. I believe that the economy would fix itself if the government backed off and let companies control more of itself and not have to change just to fit what the government says. I believe responsible companies want to just fix themselves so they do not fail and have everyone lose their jobs. Also I think it would have been a better idea to take the 750 Billion dollar bailout and divide it equally among all eligible tax payers. Everyone would receive roughly 400,000 dollars after taxes taken out. Any responsible person would pay off credit cards, mortgages and any other bill they had. If they were responsible that is. Giving money to Wall Street didn’t help the people, if you want Wall Street to recover you first help the people. People push the economy; help the people help the economy. Maybe the government will finally understand that one day. Hopefully Obama can at least fix the deficit that the U.S. has.
