Welcome, Mr. President Now Let's Get this Economy Moving Again Today, President-elect Barack Obama takes the oath of office to officially become the 44th President of the United States. And he certainly has his work cut out for him. Our economy is in crisis - and in need of an immediate stimulus to shock it back to life. At the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, we have been working with the new administration to pass such a stimulus package. As The Washington Times reported last week: R. Bruce Josten, the Chamber's executive vice president for government affairs, called the presidential transition team's outreach to the organization 'expansive and extensive,' and said Mr. Obama will have to rely on the organization to pass the stimulus plan..... We are working to ensure that ANY stimulus plan, however, includes the following important principles: Creating new jobs through targeted funding to fix our country's ailing infrastructure. Reducing borrower and lending fees through the Small Business Administration to open up credit markets and provide immediate relief to our country's small businesses. Providing meaningful tax relief for large and small employers and incentives for Americans to invest their hard-earned dollars. Supplying tax credits to the housing industry to provide immediate assistance to America's homeowners. Those are just some of the principles we are promoting to help get our economy back on track. Which of the above do you support most - and what are your ideas for getting our economy moving again? Vote in our online poll below:
