i gave an sugestion a few years ago about a flat tax rate for everyone . now i see where the rebublicans have sugessted this same thing however it not to late for you. a flat tax is a good idea .however for all those who make less then 20,000 should be exempt. the first 20,000 should not be taxed that would inculde everyone. i dont know about social security but that rate should be droped to equal that flat tax

Given that clean water is still a scarcity and contaminated by factories. and land is completely depleted due to constant reuse…North America shoud grow food grain/ food products for 3rd world countries…southern state will be condusive..for this.

My suggestion is to give a tax break for a certain amount of time (maybe 5 years) to Corporations that increase their head count in USA.
This will keep republicans happy as well as give incentives to Corporations in US to hire in US.

Since the outsourcing of jobs to other countries is creating the job shortage in the US which is causing unemployment where there need not be unemployment in this country. Make those companies causing the increase in unemployment and the need for extended benefits pay for this increase through an unemployment subsidy tax that target only the companies outsourcing jobs rather then create more deficits for the general population of taxpayers.

Instead of making stamps for collecting, we should put advertisements on the stamps and have the companies who want to advertise on the stamps pay the government to cover the print costs. i think that would be a win/win for the government and companies who want to advertise to millions of people.

Mr.Obama,
I would like to suggest you a three easy steps to improve the economy and jobs right away as follows;
1.Lower all house morgage interests from avg of 6.3% to 2.3%.How?Not allowing brokers to charge consumers all the want from .25-.50(Federal’s Rate)to 6.3%.This will leave about $1,254 savings or higher a month for all American Families all across USA.Consumers will start spending a creating jobs.
2.Healthcare budget creation to control an affordable health insurance for all Americans’ companies,and individuals by not allowing health companies to charge premiums that avg $1,200 a month per family.If budget is created then gov & families/companies can contribute 50%/50% leaving another $600 savings a month or higher.
3.Gasoline prices must be control by finding new ways not to depend on gasoline so much.We all need a car to be able to drive miles,and miles through this beautifull country,and we have no choices unless you leave in mayor cities where you can find another way to move around so,I suggest you create a budget to develop solar power electric cars,and use all this free energy all across USA to finally create this by partnering with all mayor car inductries to start really doing something about it.
It is all about changing ways of doing things.
Best Regards,

Why doesn’t ALL of the campaigning for office seats be televised on a special network channel? Does america know the financial expense for the president just to visit ONE place in america? RE: Security, Airforce-1, local traffic rerouting, enhanced personal for security and added payroll expenses on local governments. I find this spending a total waste of american tax payers money.

I think the President should fight for the postal service.
As Americans, mail delivery is one of the things we
value highly. I don’t want to see the day when that
service, at an affordable rate, is compromised. Post
office jobs have traditionally been good paying jobs
with good benefits. War vets have a high priority
when applying for post office jobs. Why would our
government not fight to preserve this great service
that Americans have needed and enjoyed for so many
years? Mr. President, ask Congress to pass legislation
that would preserve our postal service. If it’s all about
jobs, jobs, jobs this makes perfect sense. I am so dis-
couraged when i think of the postal service being in
jepoardy, not only as a vital service, but also in regard to
the good job it has always been. I can see wages and
benefits going down for postal workers not to mention
job losses. This is not
good. It seems like all the cost saving measures going
on in the country are lowering wages, lowering the
standard of living for the middle class and continuing to
hurt the economy. Mr. Obama, please speak up for the
postal service.

Having been a Principal for many years I found that many people tune-out if they are not auditory. Please try visuals along with your speeches. I’m in your corner. You are a terrific President. Let’s catch all the people.
