Stand with Obama to restore economy

Posted February 01, 2010 10:00 pm

I'm writing in support of the president's plan to rebuild our nation's economy. His State of the Union address on last week highlighted several ways in which it could be accomplished.

Among them were to provide further funding assistance and tax credits to existing and startup businesses; eliminate costly and outdated banking practices that may devastate our financial system, and create and support investments that will enhance economic growth, creating new jobs.

My stake in this is that I'm a future business owner who wants to see greater economic growth in the community and state, and I'm taking the president's plan to heart. Now I've mentioned just a few of the things that the president wishes to accomplish, and I'm sure that is plenty of room for more ideas, and I'm certain that when we all pull together. There is nothing that our nation can't accomplish.
