President Obama speaking at the Alcoa plant in Bettendorf, Iowa.
"I believe in an America where our government lives within its means while investing in things that will help us grow, like a world-class education system and cutting-edge innovation and the best transportation and communication systems anywhere in the world. That's how we're going to make America the best place to create good, middle-class jobs. That's how we're going to win the future -- by doing the smart things right now to help the middle class grow and feel more secure."
Why be concerned with unemployment? Why not be concerned with the root of unemployment, hunger and disease?

Is the Labor Department report based on unemployment checks or a census of all Unemployed People including Soccer Moms. Unemployed means that you were employed and no longer became employed. There are Millions of At Home Mothers. Do they Qualify as Unemployed??

Banks believe that they can use its financial and political influence to manipulate the truth… that they DID NOT defrauded us threw their Ponzi Scams. “TOO BIG TO FAIL” should never mean “TOO BIG TOO JAIL”

Please GOOD PEOPLE take time to take your money out of these PONZI banks, so they can do no more harm with it to you & us. Put it into small financial institutions like Credit Unions. That is still highly regulated. Moreover, they are not harming the world economy any FURTHER OR have in the past. DO THIS FOR YOUR SELF, YOUR CHILDREN OR YOUR FUTURE!
