1/27/12 GS-114 AB State of the Union Reflection Paper On January 24, 2012 the President of the United States of America gave his State of the Union address. The speech was titled “An America Built to Last”, I wanted to hear how he plans on fixing our financial crisis that has left over 10% of Americans out of work. Obama addressed many topics but one that really caught my attention was his plan to bring manufacturing jobs back to the United States. President Obama wants to bring manufacturing jobs back to U.S. and he wants to start by giving companies tax breaks for staying and hiring here. “In the six months before I took office, we lost nearly 4 million jobs.

Obama’s whole bill page was more than 2000 pages when Romney’s was only 70 pages more than half of Obama’s. Romney would not increase
The New Deal led to a huge change in American economy at the time. The amount of unemployed people was halved. But the national total of personal income fell by $13 billion, this shows how the money in the economy was spread around the people in a fairer way than in my opinion at any time in American history.

Currently the Baby boomers have the highest labor force participation of any generations in American history. (Crain, 2006) The generations following the Baby Boomer generation will not have the numbers to replace the Baby Boomers place in the workforce. According to Crain (2006) nearly 90% of the Baby Boomer generation works, which is over half of the entire workforce in the nation. About 80% of female Baby Boomers worked which was also a contribution to the two income family.
He also says that if more forceful implementation of immigration laws were put in, each U.S. household could save in the neighborhood of a couple thousand dollars per year (Fahmy, 1). Some people even go as far in saying that it isn’t the war that is making us bankrupt, it is really illegal immigration.
