One issue I believe has to be address as soon as possible is the issue of unemployment. Harsh economical times have left many Americans without a source of income to feed their families and provide them with what they did because they have lost their jobs. As of August 2011 the unemployment rate in the United States is 9.1%. Can you believe a country as powerful as the United States would have an unemployment rate near 10%? To me this is unbelievable. This country’s economy cannot grow without the unemployment rate being lower. The government needs to start creating more jobs in the United States, and stop watching countries like China take away jobs from Americans. According CNN the U.S. has lost about 2.8 million jobs to China since 2001. The person who wins the 2012 presidential elections needs to resolve this issue before we lose even more jobs to other countries.
