Helping the Middle Class

With the State of the Union address approaching, Obama is targeting the middle class in order to help ease the consequences of the recession. Obama sees lowering our national deficit, creating jobs, and changing the way Washington works as the three necessities to aiding the struggling middle class. Obama's appeal to the middle class seems to be at the right time after the struggles with healthcare and the election of a Republican Senator in Massachussets has brought criticism of the Democrats. The administration finds job creation a priority and has successfully created approximately 2 million jobs, but unfortunately the recession took 7 million, so there is still room for improvement. It will be interesting to see on Wednesday what Obama's goals for this coming year are, and what he deems as important for our country. I'm sure there will be plenty of blog posts about that.
