Ieri, prezent in Congresul american, presedintele SUA dl. Barack Obama a sustinut un discurs adresat poporului american, in care reintareste principalele elemente din agenda sa economica, prezentate ca solutii pentru iesirea din criza a acestei puteri mondiale.
Asa cum guvernatorul Bancii Nationale a Romaniei, dl. Mugur Isarescu, ne marturisea aseara noua, studentilor din FSEGA, se pare ca focusul principal al americanilor in timpul crizei il reprezinta salvarea joburilor si scaderea somajului, prin imense investitii in infrastructura, energii regenerabile (solara, eoliana), tehnologie si sistemul national de sanatate.
Planul lui Obama vizeaza ca pana in 2011 sa fie salvate sau create peste 3.5 milioane locuri de munca. Totodata, din luna Aprilie a acestui an peste 95% dintre americani vor simti efectele reducerii impozitelor.
Barack Obama promite ca le va impune membrilor cabinetului sau, primarilor si guvernatorilor americani un sistem de control fara precedent, pentru a preveni cheltuirea nejustificata a bugetelor si situatiile de frauda.
Alte aspecte importante din discursul presedintelui Barack Obama in limba engleza:
Madame Speaker, Mr Vice President, Members of Congress, and the First Lady of the United States:
I’ve come here tonight not only to address the distinguished men and women in this great chamber, but to speak frankly and directly to the men and women who sent us here.
I know that for many Americans watching right now, the state of our economy is a concern that rises above all others.
And rightly so. If you haven’t been personally affected by this recession, you probably know someone who has a friend; a neighbour; a member of your family.
You don’t need to hear another list of statistics to know that our economy is in crisis, because you live it every day.
It’s the worry you wake up with and the source of sleepless nights. It’s the job you thought you’d retire from but now have lost; the business you built your dreams upon that’s now hanging by a thread; the college acceptance letter your child had to put back in the envelope. The impact of this recession is real, and it is everywhere.
But while our economy may be weakened and our confidence shaken; though we are living through difficult and uncertain times, tonight I want every American to know this:
We will rebuild, we will recover, and the United States of America will emerge stronger than before.
The weight of this crisis will not determine the destiny of this nation. The answers to our problems don’t lie beyond our reach.
