This, friends, came out to five pages MLA. I wrote most of it with the exception of one and a half pages written by others (edited by me). This is based on a economic situation of 9% inflation, 12% unemployment, etc, etc. Terrible economic situation, just like the one the Reagan administration pulled us through.
I can seriously see and hear Mr.Bush delivering this. It's just what he'd do.

The Presidential Dilemma Address
As every pocketbook is feeling, now, the United States needs to make urgent changes to get the economy back on its feet, using both long and short term policies. To stabilize the economy using monetary and fiscal policies, I will address the current economic situation of widespread displaced unfortunate persons, high unemployment, and inflation, regarding annual drops in GDP in terms of extensions of quarterly changes including a viable solution to the high demand in oil. In this time of financial struggle, the people have appealed for the presidency’s administration to take a stand.
To help the average American consumer and worker I ask to decrease the funding of less than crucial programs. Following the acceptance of this proposal, NASA and will no longer be benefiting from tax dollars while Americans suffer from inflation and tight financial situations. I have encouraged federal government commissions which plan building of 1000 automobile and vegetable farms across the United States. These farms will promote general sector industry within the area, and will cut the spike in crime and homelessness by offering these job opportunities, gradually putting more money in circulation while we provide more jobs, and tax breaks to encourage spending. To bring relief now, the federal tax on gas will be lifted. The automobile industry has indicated that they are hurting along with all other sectors, in accordance to deal with the automobile industry and aid Americans, a lift on taxes for vehicles that run on gas for alternative engines will be put into effect. These farms that will be built will create jobs, and (with tax break incentives from the federal government, to the automobile industry for cooperation) they will be equipping, retooling, and farming for the vegetables as a new, alternative renewable fuel source called ethanol. These tax break incentives will cut benefits from the NASA program, and tight educational programs, such as ‘No Child Left Behind’.
Americans today are hurting for money and jobs; with 1000 auto and farming partnerships opening, jobs will be available to workers in many different fields. Many of the workers will be those who are hurting now in this recession.
The federal gas tax is 18 cents per gallon; if one person fills up their tank and have a 30 gallon tank they have spent $101.70 if gas is at $3.39. Now, without the federal and state gas taxes they have saved 5.7 dollars. With the American car needing to be filled up per month and no definite future in oil, it is of utmost importance that the American people begin filling up with alternative resources to keep costs low, and money in their bank accounts.
We understand citizen’s concerns about assets. As far as the amount of money in senior citizen financial futures, new policies set to be implemented will not affect fixed social security.
As far as inflation goes, we have taken several steps to combat this problem. We will start by lowering interest rates, allowing people to buy on credit more often. With this plan it will create more jobs in the farming and auto industries, keeping the agricultural traditions of this country alive. By putting more regulations out, the economy will be tighter and thus, combat inflation.
There are a couple of major economical issues that we want to address, inflation, unemployment, GDP, middle management, and the homeless. All these problems have a practical solution that we have come up with.
Government owned farms will be implemented in giving it subsidies to keep it going. From there we would start mass producing vegetables. This would start opening up jobs for the low income, widely unskilled, and recently laid off workers. The incentives for the car makers are for rapid changes in auto manufacturing for renewable vegetable fuel efficient cars. Long term tax break incentives will encourage the automobile industry to make a switch over to alternative transportation and continue expanding, putting more money into circulation and combating inflation. These incentives will be available for the next three years, effective immediately, depending on the growth of the economy.
The agricultural parks will retrain employees, moving them back into the work force. Tender will gradually experience a new flow of circulation by making cuts in the budget in the immediate implementation of this proposal.
This proposal acceptance is vital, before any natural disasters, or issues rise that drive the price spike of oil higher—even speculation makes the economy for oil nervous, which drives up the prices out of fear for security in company market. “When enough speculators come in and start going long, it drives up prices not of a piece of paper, but of products whose pricing impacts me, you and everyone we know and don’t know” (Cuban).
I ask the Federal Reserve and the American people to take an extreme interest in this proposal—Cuba and Brazil have already switched over to renewable energy such as ethanol, keeping prices of fuel low for the good of the economy. This situation has been foreseen and long in coming, and now I hope this solution comes in time before drastic situations occur. In comparison, this proposes small, rapid changes for the better. This could have taken place long before; other countries sneak upon us to challenge the American people’s right as one of the greatest countries in the world. Still, Americans suffer from staggering inflation, low GDP, and sluggish politicians. Now is the time to act. What have we done?
