Why Obama Has to Care About the Unemployed
Wednesday, April 8th, 2009Does Barack Obama, the shining beacon of hope in the United States, have to care about more than thirteen million Americans out of work? Yes, he does. When the US unemployment rate jumped to eight percent, people started wondering whether this would be just one of the milder consequences of voting for a newcomer in the White House.
Like all industrial nations, the United States is affected directly by the decisions made by central governing bodies. These bodies of control, from the financial institutions to the juridical institutions, have direct effects on the stock market and the possible trajectory of national spending. If Obama doesn’t attempt heavier measures to stop the downturn, then there just might be a chance that Obama would be deviled by critics; just like old Bush.
