Bell Ringer! Feb. 11, 2013

President Obama will soon speak again on Tuesday, about the pressing issues that basically got him back in the White House. He will be focusing on jobs and the economy. The newest thing he says that needs to be done is spending cuts, which is a given, but I think things may get worse for the middle class' I don't think the wealthy is being hit nearly as hard as the mid class. He wants to build up revenue, and I'm all for it, but he didn't agree to cuts of any kind back in 2008, so now in 2013 he can't expect to see that much of a revenue raise due to cuts, but due to the taxes that he has raised on the middle class. He wants to " build up the middle class," so why doesn't he take down the wealthy for a while and give the mid class a break. Gun control will also be a discussed issue Tuesday as there has been many gun oriented crimes recently. Obama says that we need restrictions on guns so no more children will have to lose their lives due to a sens-less act of violence, and he's right, but I can't see him wanting to truly make a compromise to make EVERYONE happy. His last issue of topic will be immigration and why our country needs it. Obama says that immigrants help make up an important part of our economy and that they will help create jobs.
