2011 State of the Union

This year’s state of union address was different than the past. For the first time Republicans and Democrats sat together for the President’s speech. The president speech talked about money being saved, the US expenses, education, future technology and the war in Afghanistan. For the financial portion of the speech Obama planned to freeze 400 billion dollars in spending, reduce health care expenses, increase tax on oil companies and reform social security. When talking about the future he pledged to have more electric cars by 2015, to have 80 percent of the country's electricity come from clean-energy sources by 2035, and to invest in biomedical research, information research and clean energy.

I would have to agree with the President where I think new energy plants can fix the economy by putting people to work from the energy power plants.
