Deep Discounts!

With the holiday shopping now in full swing I wonder how retailers profits are going to fair. I say this because with all the discounts on TVs, clothes, DVDs and even gift baskets is cutting into those profits. And this is just something retailers are going to have to live with for now. Because I tell you what, no one would end out and shop without those deep discounts. I read somewhere that this year had much better deals than years past. I don’t think that way at all. I really didn’t see any great deals worth running out and waiting in line for. Although they’re sure were a lot of people out in the morning. Anyway, I hope the world markets start and end up tomorrow because we need to turn this economy around now.

Help Is On The Way!

President-elect Barack Obama stated Wednesday that “Help is on the way.” He also said that he would have an economic plan ready to go when he takes office on the 20th of January 2009. I sure hope so, because I’m a little tired of losing money in the markets all based on fair. I would be ok with losing money if I made a bad choice, but I not ok with losing money because of other people’s bad choices. He has also announced that former Federal Reserve Chairman Paul Volcker will head a new White House panel to help create jobs. I have no idea if Volcker will be able to bring stability to the financial system. I guess will just have to wait and see what he has up his sleeves. The thing that sucks is that we still have about 2 months to see these changes in full swing when we need these changes now. We do only have one President at a time, and we’ll have to deal with President Bush until then.

Another Good Choice!

Our President-elect Barack Obama has made another good choice with adding another cabinet member. And this member is already in the position. Yes, you read it correctly; one of President Bush’s Cabinet members is staying on the job. And that member is Defense Secretary Robert Gates who is head of the Pentagon. This is a great choice in my opinion; this will also keep the Pentagon in good shape. Obama has also asked Gen. James Jones a retired Marine general to be White House national security adviser, which is another good choice. Obama we need this kind of experience in his administration to help defend America. There’s going to be more positions to be filled in his administration, and hopefully he will continue to make more good picks.
