President Obama's Plan

The Obama administration has plans on reducing poverty by creating more jobs for the citizens of the United States, working hard towards passing the Fair Pay Act, what that act will protect is the rights of women to receive equal pay for their labor, also it protects workers from being discriminated against on the grounds of sexual orientation, gender identity, and expression. The Obama administration has plans on implementing a prison to work program that will improve job retention rates. President Obama will allow ex- offenders to obtain employment by first allowing them to receive free training for a trade of choice. This will also help with crime rates reducing it by allowing ex- offenders to earn an honest living once released from prison. They will be ordered to seek counseling for issues such as, mental health, and substance abuse, therefore they are mentally stable to return to society. Obama has released his budget request for the national campaign that is planned to reduce and prevent teen pregnancy, the funding will cover several years of programming for teens, and it also helps prevent teen pregnancy in foster care. The programs will also cut the cost of taxpayers’ bill by billions of dollars every year, and it will be a boost to our economic growth.  Improvement will be seen within our families, our children, and the communities. The issue on education President Obama said that he would “Provide funds for states to implement a broader range of assessments that can evaluate higher-order skills, including students’ abilities to use technology, conduct research, engage in scientific investigation, solve problems, and present and defend their ideas.” President Obama also stated that what was needed was teacher quality and retention and he offered ideas for professional development programs as a way to resolve the issue. Preschool programs have been provided for American families to promote early on education in the United States.
