Blog #7 Change

For my sixth blog about change, I decided to write about an article from the NY Times called "Responding to Recession." This article is from last year, so Paul Krugman, the author, discusses the presidency and how each of the candidates can change the recession. The article was a little biased towards the Democratic Party so it was said that Obama, in theory, had the best economic plan. But the main reason why I chose to use this article as a topic for change is because the recession has cost so many people money and jobs that they had to completely change their previous lifestyle. An example to show this scenario in the economy is the statistic of unemployment. Since last year, unemployment has gone from 4.9% last January, to 7.6% this January. If over 1,000,000 jobs lost doesn't show change, I do not know what will.
