Running on Empty Running on Empty: How the Democratic and Republican Parties are Bankrupting Our Future and What Americans Can Do About It In this book P. Peterson reminded the Bush aide that the United States faced a frightening long term balance sheet. This is the same scenario we have heard before but now we are living it. “As more than 70 million baby boomers begin retiring later in the decade, the Social Security and Medicare programs are destined to sink into multitrillion-dollar deficits, causing enormous hardships for younger Americans. Bush had a chance to avert disaster, Peterson told his aide. By using the immediate surpluses to fix the looming crisis, the new president could possibly solve "one of the largest fiscal challenges
Since the Bush Administration broke America’s budget, our economy is going down the drain. “With all of the debate about taxes, the economy and domestic spending, it is hard to imagine anyone supporting the notion of taking money from programs like Medicaid and college – tuition assistance, increasing the burden of the vast majority of working Americans, sending the country into a crashing debt.”(Bush Economy 1) “During the Bush years, the two main sources of class mobility – a good job and money for higher education – have increasingly failed…” (Bush Economy 4) “But the share of economic growth that is going toward corporate profits, which flow to stockholders and bondholders.” (Bush Economy 5) If the economy keeps breaking down like it is now then our generation will have to fix it all. Right now our generation is facing a crisis which we will have to fix or else we’ll end up with no money, no job and no shelter and food. Actually the whole world will be broke, not just America; right now there are other countries that layoff people from their jobs. The only reason why those countries are laying off the workers is because America

There was a shortage of trained medical personnel including physicians in the civilian sector. Medical students began to treat the sick and ailing. Hospital facilities saw overcrowding so many businesses and schools were turned into makeshift treatment facilities for those infected with the influenza. It wiped out entire families while others were forced to dig the graves of their own family members.
The subprime mortgage crisis was the initial cause of the 2008 financial crisis, which then led to the worst recession since the Great Depression. (2) Many Americans felt the pain when those introductory adjustable rate mortgages reset to reveal higher payments that they could no longer afford. Banks, also, felt the stress as the word spread about the sheer volume of defaulted loans. As home prices continued to decline, without any hopes of a market turn around, both home owners and financial institutions where in a poor situation. In a proactive approach to the foreseeable future, on December 20, 2007, former President Bush signed into law, the Mortgage Forgiveness Debt Relief Act of 2007.
According to fnsa.org Georgia is laying off 900 correction personnel due to the high costs of the death penalty. These actions do not benefit the state.

Immigration In America In the late 19th century and early 20th century, millions of immigrants entered into the United States of America. Many of these immigrants came to America because they face persecution in their homelands. The immigrants were promised a new land of prosperity, riches, and freedom from persecution. But when many arrived they found out that this was not true and many of them still faced persecution and struggled to make enough money to live and eat well. Many of the immigrants had their own personal reasons to move to America, but there were some major push and pull factors that brought them here.
Employees need to be able to trust and have faith in their leaders. If there is constant change in leadership in an organization, how can an employee trust and believe in the organization.

They are faced with the most unsanitary conditions, dead bodies lying in the roads, no way to wash or clean their clothes, and what drinking water they can get is dirty and muddy. The people of Darfur are being attacked by the militia and burned out of their villages. They are left with no place to go but the makeshift camps that have sprung up in and around Chad. There are more than 200,000 refugees displaced in Chad due to this war, and does not include the surrounding areas where others have fled too. The people in these camps need food, shelter, clothing, and medical supplies in order to survive—and just as importantly, they need extensive psychological
People should only give to local New Testament churches or local community charities, where you can see exactly how every dollar is being spent. These big organizations usually put a lot of bias and emotion into their advertisements. Who do you think will appreciate your money more... some fat cat charity or a struggling family who has no income?
