U.S Government:Into the Third Depression

        Over the past few year many Americans have found themselves without a job. Companies are becoming to big causing them to lay off people. America is saying to cut Government spending but what will that do?? It will just end up with more families finding themselves without a job and trying to meet ends meet. Yes, the government is spending a lot of money and we are in huge dept, but what about us? We spend money on stuff we don't even use; such as television shows or new "toys" whatever that might be for one. The government spending can help us get out of the recession which is what we want! Yet we blame the thing that can help us get out of our situation because we can not face the problems ourselves. We too can pull ourselves out of this hole. I understand that it might be hard to get a job once being let go, but it is not impossible. You can get a job, may not be one that you want but instead people will just blame the government instead of looking at themselves and saying "I can take this job until something better comes up" America should start doing things themselves and not blame other people.

Sea life

            A few months ago everyone was wondering what we should do about the oil spill. Few people put it into their own hands like Leanne Sacro did. True everyone wanted to help; but wanting and doing are completely different things. Mark Guarino told Leanne’s story. Leanne went around collecting crabs from off the beach and cleaning the crabs off, after they were clean she took them to a clean beach to be free into the ocean again. Soon she had a few people helping her out from around the area and before you know it she had plenty more. How did she get so many? She used one of the world’s most addicting webpage, facebook. By telling the story she was able to get people involved instead of them wondering how to help she told them. Guarino tells how anyone can make a difference it’s just an idea that you put into action. Guarino should tell more stories of how to help the sea life. It isn’t hard that if someone who did really want to help could. The more stories there are the more people get inspired. Though Leanne’s story is, there are plenty more to help everyone get involved and so many ways there are which Guarino leaves out. We can all help and we all have the power to do so. Just like Leanne, many people are helping and we should all follow their example.

Retirement

Many people have their dream of what they wish to do when they retire. Some wish to pick of things that they enjoyed when they were younger, some to travel and some to just relax and enjoy life. However for small business owners that opportunity seems to be declining. Now over 69% of people say that they will retire when they are over 65 years or not at all; in fear that they will not have enough money. In 2007 8 in 10 owners of small businesses said they had enough money to retire comfortably now today in 2010 fewer than 2 in 10 feel that way.
Regardless how you view retirement, small-business owners do have retirement worries that the recession and financial crisis of the past several years have exacerbated. Many people worry that when they retire they wont be able to maintain the life they now live and enjoy. The economic crisis has done great damage, seeing that many Americans have lost their jobs, incomes have declined and lost their homes. Many Are now seeing a economy that will never be rebuild.
Jacobe is right when she states that small business owners do have an advantage, they love what they do. Does that mean that one day they will want to retire but cant? Or do they just say they cant so they still have what they all love so much. In away it would be retired if they love it, isn’t that was retirement is about; doing something you love?
