In my experience I have seen the decrease in full time employees is primarily because companies have realized it is cheaper for them to pay 2 part time employees than 1 full time one. Those companies are looking out for their bottom line not the employees welfare. Its sad but wont change unless the companies attitudes change no matter how much money you give them.

A (one) thing to consider is an ongoing personal finance advisory project that citizens can tap into on an ad hoc/ongoing basis, to optimize their debt-reduction and wealth-building options.

Something ~like~ Robert Kiyosaki AND Suze Orman, but without them, specifically, as personalities.

Economics 101 video.

I look forward to hearing more from Christina Romer. She is one of the best macro-economists and Obama is lucky to have someone like her in his administration. I personally think the stimulus plan should be bigger, we'll have to see what actually gets through congress.

Sorry but there was no substance in this video. Just hoping that we can look forward to something is certainly not enough. How about the economic fundamentals? The banking system is a giant ponzi scheme, we are throwing good money after the bad money, powerful people get bailed out because they're "too big to fail"... I'm an Obama administration supported, but there are no redeemable qualities in this video. Inflating the bubble again is not good enough, we need a sustainable economy.

She needs to stick to history and not predict the future. Give tax cuts to the wealthy and employers. This will do more then building a new school. Might do better and even give someone an idea of building a new private school that doesn't cost a fortune because of taxes.

Well done Christina and well articulated. But let's see the details. You mentioned job retention and job creation in health care and education but later when you summarized only manufacturing and construction got named.

I don't want to see a long list of pork barrel projects.
