Predictions

The Obama Administration has a lot of expectations to fill for the new year. I personally think we will see a slowwww but steady increase in the economy and new jobs. Economists are saying that the economy is currently pulling out of the recession, but I don't think there is reason for celebration just yet. The economy is still terrible; for example, next year is looking pretty dismal for Fairfax County schools. This large school district which has a great national reputation is facing huge deficits in the budget, so I can only imagine that other school districts and state funded systems are going to be facing similar if not worse problems. It will get better though; it just takes time. The Health Care bill will continue to be debated on (though it looks less promising with the recent republican senator elected to MA, which takes away the democrats vote of 60 in the Senate).
