Dear President Obama,
I am pretty sure that you are aware of the fact that we are in a recession at this point in our lives.
As you know, the country is in debt and needs to focus on our own financial problems and less on
the financial issues of other countries. The marshal plan is a genuine attempt at stronger bonds
between nations, economic cooperation, and controlling inflation, but at this point in time, it would
be unwise to get involved with foreign affairs. In the past, this has cost Americans $11,820,700,000
in tax money in four years. This money could be going towards other things, such as paying off the
debt we are in, for example.
The plan was revolutionary when George C. Marshall first came up with it at Harvard University
in 1947, and it still is, but American needs to wait for her own problems to be settled and dealt
would need to multiply the program's $13.3 billion cost by 10 or perhaps even 20 times to have
the same impact on the U.S. economy now as the Marshall Plan had between 1948 and 1952."
In conclusion, things need to be done, and it would make a better country and a better world
to have international bonds and connections, but when it comes to the amount of money that
would be needed to help foreign places such as the Middle East and Africa, it cannot be done
right now. I hope you take this into consideration.
Sincerely,
Marlene Barajas
