Ironic, that's the fact of life 2

I Geez, it has been a while since I din't post any blog recently, due to ampules of bad trade that I derives recently, my personal problem dealing with hmmmmm, not girls (trust me), but Arithmetic.

The fuck that I gave a bloody care about the arithmetic and mathematics, I'm not Einstein....... but Ironically, I was a little bit carried away by Einstein Theory, the Quantum.......about relativity.

Well, that's was not what I'm suppose to talk about it today.... need to continue the last blog that I've posted several weeks ago.

Well, as what I was quoted before, education plays a substantial roles in creating the next valuable citizen in any respective nation..... Education make people think, interpret, innovate, invent, damage and protect. Education set a person status in the community, whether the person is being respected or neglected. But in economic perspectives, every person in the community plays a vital roles in economy growth. We can't expect everybody be rich, having the same things other haves, we can't expect everybody drives a ferrari, and we can expect every men in this world wore Jaeger-Le Coultre watch and ladies carrying Valentino handbag.

That is insane, the market wont be equilibrium.

I'm not encourage peoples in this world to become poor and I'm not planting an idea that the not-so-lucky person should forget their dreams and stick to the status quo. Hey.... I have several dream that I myself also haven't be fulfill, such as getting a ferrari, buying a boat, own several luxury watches and own a Vertu.... And believe me, this dreams is not impossible, just need to do something (I mean something right..) to get what we dream of.

Abraham Maslow states that there are two need that human are trying to achieves, first is needs, second is wants, and human are trying to fulfill the needs first rather than fulfilling the wants.

Question relies here then....

If a person holding a degree and worked as a CEO in a big company, his pays would be huge and his spending will be huge too. If another person holding the same degree and worked as a teacher, his pays wont be that huge and his spending power wont be that big compared to the lucky CEO.

Why that there's a big gap in between these two? Aren't the idea of getting good education is to get a good job and well paid salary in the future? (well, that were most parents are assumes of)

It's easy to says that CEO contribution towards the economy are more significant compare to the teacher.

A CEO with his company create an economy, but a teacher creates economy lesson.

So the idea of getting a good education for a good job and well paid salary in the future are totally absurd. Why can't I get a job that gave me a huge paycheck? Why does my Director in my previous company only hold a diploma (just acquires it recently) Why does my late schoolmate can own a Porche Cayman in just 2 month even he drop school at the age of 15? (yes, he deals drugs, but that's not the point here...)

Parallel with the title of this essay, that it is ironic, for the fact of life....

Economic theory is all about making a decision, whether someone choose to become this or that, it determines the quality of someone life.

Obama Unveils New Projects, Says Economy Has ‘Long Way to Go’

By Kim Chipman

June 8 (Bloomberg) -- President Barack Obama, trying to bolster an economy he says still has a “long way to go,” announced 10 projects aimed at creating or saving more than 600,000 jobs, according to the administration.The plans are meant to boost the effectiveness of a $787 billion stimulus measure sought by Obama and approved by Congress in February.

The projects will be a key focus of recovery efforts during the next three months and create or save four times more jobs than during the first 100 days since the rescue bill became law, according to a White House news release.“We have a long way to go on our road to recovery but we are going the right way,” Obama said in a statement. “Our measure of progress is the progress the American people see in their own lives. And until that progress is steady and solid; we’re going to keep moving forward.

The new projects are being framed as the beginning of a “summer of accelerated Recovery Act activity” by the administration and include new services at health centers in 50 states, work on 107 national parks, improvements at airports, highway locations and veterans’ medical facilities. They will also provide funding for schools to hire more teachers.

White House officials said yesterday they are encouraged by a slowing rate of job losses. The economy lost 345,000 jobs last month, fewer than expected and the lowest number since September, the Department of Labor reported June 5.

Rising Unemployment

Still, unemployment rose to 9.4 percent, higher than the 8 percent the administration projected when it pressed Congress to enact the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act.

“Hopefully, that is a sign that this is turning,” David Axelrod, senior adviser toObama, told CNN yesterday. “While it’s going to take some time for these unemployment numbers to turn around, for the momentum to completely stop and turn in the other direction, it feels as if we’re moving.”

Vice President Joe Biden, who later today will formally present Obama with the administration’s latest economic stimulus goals, said a “good foundation” was laid in the first 100 days of the Recovery Act.

“We plan to build on that foundation and accelerate our efforts so we can accomplish even more,” Biden said in a statement. “We’re going to get more dollars out the door, more shovels into the ground and more money into the pockets of workers and families who need it most.”

Committing Funds

In the three months after the Democratic-led Congress approved Obama’s stimulus plan, the government doled out about 11 percent of the emergency stimulus funds, according to a progress report released by Biden’s office on May 13.

The administration says it will commit about 70 percent of the money by the end of the next fiscal year, less than the 75 percent that White House officials projected in February.

Biden, citing “significant progress,” stressed in the May report that most programs and projects were running ahead of schedule and under budget.

The act resulted in 150,000 jobs being created or saved in the first three months, the assessment said.

The 10 new projects to be financed with stimulus funds include hiring or retaining about 5,000 law enforcement officers, starting 200 new waste and water systems in rural areas, creating 125,000 summer jobs for young people and initiating 2,300 construction and rehabilitation projects at military facilities across the nation, the administration said.

“We will not grow complacent or rest,” Obama said. “Surely and steadily, we will turn this economy around.”
