End of an era.......

Tomorrow is the inaugeration of the 44th President of the United States, Barack Obama. George Bush will retire to his ranch in Texas or his house in Dallas. He will write a book, build a library, and ride his horses. This is an employment website, not a political one so comments will be short and brief.
GW has been blamed for the current state of the economy/credit crunch/housing meltdown. Does the general population realize that by over extending themselves, buying houses they cannot afford, refinancing to purchase new cars, might be the reason? living in South Florida, during the boom years, property prices were climbing at over 30% a year. This is not a natural rate, houses being flipped after 3 months for a 25% profit? The general population never wants to accept blame for their own actions. GW, the Federal Reserve, or Congress did not force people to live beyond their means. People were greedy and got caught.
But tomorrow is a new start with a new President, same Congress though. I wish Mr. Obama the best, he has a tough road in front of him. The population of the United State will have to start living with in their salaries, and not on credit. The Federal government will have to step up regulations on lending practices, and banking overall.
Along with the new start in Washington, how about a new start in your career? Job.travel offers a multitude of opportunites in most lines of work across the country. So after the inauguration, post your reseme, and start a new page in your career.
