Remarks by the President at Meeting with the President's Council on Jobs and Competitiveness | The White House
Remarks by the President at Meeting with the President's Council on Jobs and Competitiveness | The White House
Just to brief you on this meeting: One main point made to the president is that consumer spending patterns are changing. People are not utilizing all of the available credit extended to them--either by not taking on new debt or by not maxing out cards.
This pattern has led to 75 percent unused consumer and business credit. "Alarming" was the word used to describe this emerging pattern. People are paying balances down and future extensions of credit are being recinded as lenders are becoming more conservative with the lower-middle class or the working class. It was determined by the advisory group that lower middle class consumers should have more access to credit.
Fourth quarter 2009 credit card write-offs were at 10 percent. A write-off is when credit card balances are left unpaid and companies write-them off at the end of the fiscal year as a loss. By the end of 2009 they had fallen to 7.5 percent and by January 2010 write-offs fell to 3.8 percent, which is normal for the credit industry.
Overall the credit industry is described as "bright." Some people spend to save and some spend to pay down debt.
Online spending is impacting traditional retail sales. Even with traditional retailers, the online spending is the biggest growth for them.
This advisory group reports to the president and was formed two years ago.
Feel free to view the video to find out more about how business and retail sales are affecting the U.S. economy. This is clarity in government at it's best.

There are many states who have similar training programs and can do what Cleveland, Ohio is doing to help employ those who retrain and want to work. I hope politics is not standing in the way of progress. Our president seems more than willing to help in a bipartisan way, get America working again. I know for a fact Indiana has a trades training program that is excellent.

"Mr. Obama discouraged independent groups from working on his behalf during the 2008 presidential race. Democratic strategists now believe the Obama campaign will give them the green light to create independent advertising efforts for 2012 to rival the well-funded conservative groups that appeared in the 2010 congressional elections."--WSJ
