As you can see, the economy is in a rut, and the citizens of America are quite displeased with the state our country is in. Our unemployment rate is at eleven percent—a mere fourteen percent away from the Great Depression. Before our economy falls any further, we need to take action into our own hands. To do this, I recommend that we first follow by Franklin D. Roosevelt’s (FDR) example. Communication with the people is crucial. I recommend that you hold speeches for everyone to hear when a big change is about to come along. We must settle the people down, and restore their confidence in not only the economy, but you as their president, before you lose your support.
From what I can see, America is in the process of creating new jobs, which should in turn give more people opportunities to work. Perhaps you could give a little encouragement and reassurance just as FDR often did. Make sure you don’t make anything sound prettier than it really is, though. We must be realistic, but optimistic as well, so our citizens don’t lose faith in your leadership, or the country. Many people have bestowed a lot more responsibility on you than they do in most other presidents because America is in quite the rut at this point. Confidence is key. Let everyone know you are here for them, and announce important changes that will be made. Only do this on very important occasions so that when you speak, people listen.
Another big step would be to get out of the war, since we are spending so much on weapons and such, and losing many men and women. This is a large goal, and of course a difficult one, but it should be on our list of priorities, or at least made known that you are putting an effort into making this happen. Whenever we do get out of the war, perhaps by slowly declining if possible, we will save a tremendous amount of money, and this money can be put back into the economy.
One difficulty I notice you have been facing is getting your ideas to pass with The Congress. I can understand this to be stressful, but perhaps you could build a relationship with them so you can gain their trust. They have many different viewpoints, so getting anything to pass by them will be difficult. One thing you can do is see what ideas they have, and try to work them in. This will give you a higher probability of getting your propositions to pass.
This is all the advice I’d like to give you for now. Every step counts. I sincerely hope this helps.
