Still Waiting for the Republican Agenda

The Republican Party sure has had a lot to say about the Democrat agenda since President Obama took office, but they have not set forth a new plan yet if they were to take control of Congress. The ideas they are focused on are:

1. Creating incentives for new jobs
2. Cutting federal spending
3. Cleaning up Congress

These are all good ideas, but there is one problem: They have not released ANY specifics on how they are going to do this. The Democratic party has been targeting this large hole in the campaign of Republicans, and so far, there has been no answer. The plan seems to be that the GOP is accumulating ideas from the America Speaking Out program into their platform for the upcoming Congressional elections. This has been projected to be ready in September.

Kevin McCarthy, who is heading the motion to prepare the new agenda, says that Democrats are simply giving up on their own agenda and, "They are trying to change the topic ... (because) they can't succeed with what they have to offer."

What do you think? The Republicans seem to have fueling support off picking at the Obama administration and promising results without any kind of tactics. Do the America people really not care about having a certain path, as long as its not the current path? This seems like it will not hold its weight come time to vote.

People need answers to problems.

President Barack Obama will be traveling to Detroit to show off exactly what his policies have done for the auto industry and our economy consequently. He will talk about his reports that the auto industry is seeing record profits once again, the largest since 1999. Not only that, but President Obama will be talking about his new plan to invest 4 billion dollars in natural gas vehicles, along with 400 million in electric vehicles.

So how has the auto industry grown?

• Exports have increased by 57%, including a significant rise to sales in China.

So how exactly has the auto industry helped our economy?

• 9 of 11 GM assembly plants are working through the summer shutdown to meet demands
• GM, Ford and Chrysler's growth is resulting in 5300 new jobs for Americans

But what about paying back the taxpayers?

• GM repaid their 6.7 billion dollar loan back in April.
• Chrysler paid 1.9 billion back to the treasury that they received from TARP and 1.5 that they received for support.
• The supplier support system was cut, giving back 5 billion dollars to the public.

So, what does this say about the decision this administration made for bailouts?
