In the six months that the Obama administration has been in office the administration has begun the effort to restore America’s financial system and economy.
In an op-ed, in the July 12, 2009 Washington Post, President Obama states, “Now is the time to build a firmer, stronger foundation for growth that not only will withstand future economic storms but that helps us thrive and compete in a global economy.”
In his article, he lays out his plan to build the foundation: “To build that foundation, we must lower the health-care costs that are driving us into debt, create the jobs of the future within our borders, give our workers the skills and training they need to compete for those jobs, and make the tough choices necessary to bring down our deficit in the long run.”
Obama also emphasis the importance of providing skills necessary for jobs of the future and discusses the necessity of reforming the community college system.
