The outlook is grim and the solution is costly. President-elect Barack Obama didn't have much in the way of positive news to give on the American economy in his recent speech at George Mason University. "In short, a bad situation could become dramatically worse," he said as he outlined the numbers on unemployment, falling revenues and the mind-boggling national deficit.
However, the future president was not without hope. "I don't believe it's too late to change course, but it will be if we don't take dramatic action as soon as possible," Obama said. That dramatic action comes with a $775 billion price tag.
Obama's stimulus package would include an oversight structure known as the Economic Recovery Accountability and Transparency Board, which would track how the federal government spends the money. There would also be a website that would outline his plan and allow the public to track the money and the progress of the plan.
According to Obama's speech, his proposal would be called the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. Although his speech did not give great detail about his plan, some of the spending would be roughly broken down like this:
300 billion in tax cuts, both for individuals and businesses. According to Obama, 95% of middle-class, working families will receive $1000 tax cut.
$77 billion to extend unemployment benefits, including subsiding health care for those without jobs.
$398 billion in job-creation projects, such as rebuilding roads and bridges and expanding alternative energy programs. Obama promises to create 3 million jobs over the next few years in the areas of infrastructure, energy, health care and education. "It's a plan that recognizes both the paradox and the promise of this moment -- the fact that there are millions of Americans trying to find work, even as, all around the country, there is so much work to be done," Obama said in his speech.
Not included in this project, but on Obama's list of problems to tackle are the growing number of foreclosures, shoring up financial intuitions from future failure, and rewriting financial regulations to ensure better accountability. The number of problems facing the nation are daunting, but Obama's speech indicated his willingness to get right to work.
The most difficult part of Obama's economic recovery plan will be gaining bipartisan support and getting the bill passed. Until Obama has political support, his plan will go nowhere and help no one. He has also promised to eliminate pet projects and other government spending that is difficult to track, but makes the bill more appealing to some politicians. Perhaps that is why he included these words in his speech, "For every day we wait, or point fingers, or drag our feet, more Americans will lose their jobs. More families will lose their savings. More dreams will be deferred and denied."
There is little doubt that Congress will pass some sort of stimulus plan in the near future. How much of Obama's proposals make it into a final bill and how effective the stimulus package will be is going to be the story of 2009.

Ever Wanted to Drive a Drag Racer?
Do you find yourself obsessively watching car racing on TV or driving to the local racetrack? Do you love tinkering with cars out in the garage, getting oil on your hands? Does the sound of a super-charged engine get your blood pumping?
Well, maybe you're the kind of person who would love to get into the hobby sport of Drag Racing. Here's some insight.
Drag car racer, Lorne Walters, worked on his drag car for over two years, making it one of the fastest cars on the strip. He even competes against cars that have a higher rated horsepower than his 1984 drag racing street car that he picked up for next-to-nothing. He collected inexpensive, used parts for it for over a year, until he finally bolted it all together and cranked the ignition.
Since then, he has put a couple of seasons of driving and fine-tuning under his belt. He explained that it is not major changes that produce big leaps in performance but many little changes over time that makes the difference between winning and losing a race.
Removing the muffler increased his engine's horsepower. Removing over three hundred pounds of non-essentials made the car lighter. Removing the belt-driven fan and replacing it with a battery-powered fan reduced the load on the engine. Changing from street tires to tires that get sticky when you lay rubber and heat them up increased his car's traction. All of these changes increased his car's speed.
When you're counting your racing time in tenths of a second, every little change brings you closer to winning.
One of Lorne's motto's to live by is, "You can't learn it if you don't do it." If you want to become a better and more successful Drag Race driver, you can't just read about it or watch it, you must do it! The more you do it, and apply what you learn from the experience, the better you become.
Before he ever thought of driving his own car though, Lorne joined a pit crew for a stock car driver, which allowed him to network with other enthusiasts and also get into the thick of it. Once he got bitten by the race car fever, getting behind the wheel became a driving obsession.
Consistency is also one of the major keys to winning. In Drag Racing, it isn't always the fastest car that wins, but also the one who stays consistent in doing the little things right. Good race timing scores must be repeated often.
Lorne also learned quickly that when you're on the strip, ready to go, you don't hang around waiting to be "told" to go. Waiting for the tree of lights to reach green-for-go cost him 1.2 seconds. Which meant that his competitor, who exploded his engine's horsepower into forward motion just prior to green, left the gate just as the tree hit green and was way out ahead of him. There is always a lag time before the car will actually burst forward.
When Lorne started out with his own car, tagging along with a successful racer who knew the circuit and all the ropes placed him car lengths beyond his competition. He also gained much of his knowledge by asking lots of questions, searching the Internet for free information, and by hands-on experience.
Drag Racing is no longer a hobby to Lorne, it's a passion - a passion that pushes him from race to race throughout the season.
Maybe this could be your passion, and like Lorne, you may get some or even your entire car sponsored by local businesses.
Not sure if you would like it? Some drivers are allowed to take passengers during certain parts of the day. Why not get to know one and go for a trial spin?
Happy super-charging!

A small poem i did please comment?
What do you think of it?
GTA Petrol Head
We've a petrol head suspect in sight
a trusted police patrol tagging,
black skid marks tread tight
grand theft auto justice lagging.
Tilt left but right dodging through
motorway race, Drag & Drift,
sirens blare crazy red even blue
dozens on hand quick to shift.
Adrenalin addict upholding
Winning!
no intension to bottle,
oncoming traffic sent off roading
recessive racer quick on the throttle.
Screached, ripped, rubber burnin'
like fast and furious up a gear,
thrust with momentum, sent spinning
tail whipped from the rear.
ok how can i make it better?
Your subject is coming off as too simple! Do something to it, describe it more deeply. For a subject that unpoetic, you really need to go above and beyond for it to be enjoyed.
But, it is complete and fine, as poems go. It's just the subject that's making it harder. But, never change the subject of the poem because someone didn't enjoy it, just work on it harder!
65 out of 100. If you don't agree, that's fine, it's just an opinion, but, what good is literature without opinion?
Hear, Say... Your weekly entertainment gossip
Monday, April 26th, 2010 14:06:00 A million disappointments The Press conference by One In A Million 's Ayu last week to answer rumours of her shotgun marriage and having a child out of wedlock must have been the highlight of the week's gossip. Strangely enough, much of it was left for readers and TV viewers to 'decide', despite Ayu denying any of it was true.
