Anything could happen in that primary. Both Smith and Graham have personal financial resources along with one having the name “Smith” and the other probably benefiting from a name association with North Carolina’s own world- renowned evangelist Billy Graham. On top of that Graham is the only one of the three Republican gubernatorial candidates who run for Statewide office multiple times and won multiple times.

Health Care Industry Reforms – Too Far to Reach

Filed under: Information — Alexie @ 10:59 am

This is the view of many analysts who are saying that the proposed changes to the health care system would take more than simple budgetary improvements to really exact change. One of the primary battle cries of the current administration, the health care system has indeed been degrading at a very fast pace since costs rise and equally care diminishes. In this light, current studies are showing that a million cancer sufferers are not getting the follow up care and treatment they need to continue effective treatment due to cost issues, most of which tyhey have to shoulder themselves. With two possible epidemics in the world, the swine flu and less prioritized bird flu are also taking their toll on the industry and economy blamed for millions of lost dollars in profits due to productivity and absenteeism issues associated with the diseases.

Bailout Failure?

Filed under: Information — Alexie @ 10:55 am

The US’s Economic Stimulus Bill passed and was put into the works but many experts are saying that it was doomed to fail from the start. Why? The problem is that the US economy is so tied up with the rest of the world that losses at home had effects that reached well outside the country and with that in mind, the money would run out faster than the problems that it was supposed to solve. Mr. Obama has surely toned down from his tough words during the election days due to the fact that most of his proposals were simply too great even for the American Government to solve alone. The war in Iraq is coming to an end with a US troops pullout scheduled for June or July this year. This would result in some savings from the costs the government uses to fund that war, that was supposed to be a short and technologically driven one. Years after the war started, it is still claiming lives and an end would surely put to peace some of the war’s critics.

Financial Market Crunch – Banks Collapsing

Filed under: Information — Alexie @ 10:55 am

Many US banks are collapsing as result of the Wall Street crash sending millions out of jobs and all other industries down to the ground. The housing market has failed to make ground even with the billions of dollars sent to bolster that industry which was one of the main reasons for the global crisis. Homes are still being foreclosed even with the financing help they are getting from the government. Banks, exposed to the housing crisis are closing due to the said exposure with millions of dollars lost and equal numbers of jobs on the line. The major US automakers are in trouble, so much that they are all getting financial backing in terms of funds to help them stem collapse. The government is finding it hard to solve all the problems this recession has brought, but hopefully gains in Wall Street would be able to bridge the gap, enough to bring change and recovery from this global crisis.

US Military to Pull out of Iraq – Back to Afghanistan

Filed under: Information — Alexie @ 10:51 am

The end of the US military’s operations in Iraq is very welcome in the US as well as in the country where many see them still as occupiers. The war that couldn’t be won is now in the hands of the Iraqui people themselves who have to stand up and rebuild their country but for the many fighting women and men in the country, it’s off the battlefield in one country and back into another war. Afghanistan was first to be invaded by the US military who deplored the rule of the Taliban they say is responsible for the attacks in the US, but political analysts and even some military experts now argue that the link was so poorly made that they say there was no ever link except for sporradic calls and other intelligence information that couldn’t be substantiated today. US policy towards such countries are indeed shifting, mainly due ot rising costs, American Taxpayer dollars that are now harder to come by in today’s recession. The military may have saved a lot of lives and money by pulling out of Iraq, but jumping right back into another battle may soon sway more minds as to the true purpose of these wars, wars that many are now seeing as mistakes, paid with the lives of coalition forces from which a large part are Americans.

Filed under: Information, News — editor @ 6:18 pm


The Obama administration continues to reveal the steps it is taking to solve the crisis that has been plaguing the US for months now, the repercussions of which have been felt in varying degrees all throughout the world.

Obama has only recently announced an aid grant to General Motors and Chrysler, as the two biggest auto companies struggle with million-dollar losses. Obama has stressed a need to maintain an American auto industry, as many American jobs depend on it.

The first African American president in the history of the United States also indicated a more intensive campaign in Afghanistan, where he plans to send 4000 more troops specifically to root out Al-Qaeda. But part of the American campaign in the Afghan region is to win the hearts and minds of the locals through offering advancements in healthcare, agriculture and infrastructure.

The US’s Trillion Dollar Budget Deficit

Filed under: Information — Alexie @ 8:05 am

usbudgetThe world has seen him take center stage and it is now time to go to work. This is the world of US President Obama who is en tasked to do something difficult, get the ball rolling again for the recovery of the US economy. There have been a lot of critics to his proposed bailout measures to boost the economy but according to him, this is something that just had to be done. True to the point, companies are still shedding jobs as the economy bottoms and the end is yet to be seen for many who are suffering from the economic recession. Much work has to be done and he has started by taking on all the aspects of the government, from the way they project their stance in global politics to how they do business back home.
The road is long and perilous but many who pinned hopes are truly hoping for the best. The job is too great for one man to fix and it’ll take the effort of all Americans to fix the problems currently facing them in the tumbling economy. The housing market, financial markets and all other economic structures have been hit hard, just hope he comes up with the best solutions to the worst problems quick so they can get back on the road to recovery, fast.
