No Money, no honey

...Uhmm Today I want to spent some Money...

America is well known for its democracy, freedom of speech, military and also unfortunately how they spent their money in big quantities.

According to the Census Bureau Americans household are spending their money mostly in these resection economy in things like groceries, clothing, transportation, housing, health care and other items.

For example in some cities like in the Northeast New york, Pennsylvania, Boston people spent more money on shelter around $ 10.500 to 15.000. On the contrary in the South Houston, Dallas Forth-Worth where people spend less in shelter around $ 9.500 to $ 10.000.

Everything is On Sale...

America is known as the most powerful country in the world by its military army, government system, freedom, leadership and also the economy. Yes yes the American dollars

US economy is having its worse moment after the great depression in 1930 families are losing theirs houses returning to rent (interrupting their most value treasure The American Dream) the level of unemployment is its highest levels never seen also parents killing their families because they don't have the economy support to bring food to their homes.

However, in some parts of the country while some people are rationing their money some ones are spending more than ever, ignoring that America is having a economy recession.

According to the consumer expenditure survey from the bureau of labor statistics a household spent on apparel:

apparel men and boys $ 435, women and girls $ 749, apparel children under two $ 93 and footwear $ 327.

This added up to $ 1604 per year, the average household has 2.5 people which means that $ 641 is spent per person on shoes and cloths.

Less Money for an IMac

Apple recently has launched the new re-design for IMac (all in one) and Mac book laptop including a handful of updates peripherals and the inovating multitouch mouse.

The big changes for the IMac are in its material instead aluminum and poly-carbon the new models come in aluminum and edge to edge glass taking a similar look as Apple's line Macbook Pro laptops. Its size will be 21.5 in and 27 in with a 16:9 aspect ratio. The prices for these newborns vary between $ 1.199 (21.5 in) and $ 1.699 (27 in). However Apple will offer a step-up models for each screen size at $1.499 (21.5 in) and $1.999 (27 in).

For the Mac Book also some changes have been made, even when the 13 in MacBook remains the same price the big change is that bring a new unibody chassis which means that the battery is no longer removable. As a part of Apple's new invention is the wireless Magic mouse, this innovation has the ability to work as a pad on Apple's laptops.

However, costumers would think that these new gagets will not help the economy but is incorrect Apple keeps a low margin sub $1000 market in laptops.

More stress Worse is the Job

When I was a child I always dreamed being a cop, teacher, singer, athlete or maybe somebody important. However to be somebody definitely you need to go to university I suppose or you can play the lotto and if you re lucky can be millionaire instantly if you wins it.
However, what if I want to be a medical surgeon and I want that people call me Doc or Doctor. That would be great but I don't think that I'll go for that, just to think that in my hands are people's live, that a mistake that I do cant send this people to the other side. And even the pay is to good around $ 230.000 starting.
I don't think that i would be a surgeon No for the money nor for the name. I think that to be a surgeon, president or someone in a high position he/she should know that the pressure is also high and that a mistake cant cost the life itself.

Now Hiring ?

Bad news New Jersey, the rate of unemployment has reach 9.8 on September 2009 according to the State Labor department .

The private sector has lost around 12,000 jobs from august to September, also public sector has been affected it lost 700.

This increase hasn't seen since 1977 when New Jersey had a collapse in the economy

Governor Jon Corzine who is up for re-election in November has propose a "Return to Work" program which pays employers up to $ 2,400 for new employees hired and the job must pay $ 15 per hour.

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev, Sen Robert Menendez D-NJ, Sen Orrin G Hatch R- Utah

are the politics to work in a new legislation that bring a solution for America as a result of the automobile crisis.

They introduced the "New Alternative Transportation to Give Americans Solutions (NAT GAS) Act"

One of the main points is to reduce the independence of foreign oil and urban pollution, the objective is to accelerate the production and use of natural gas fueled vehicles and stimulate the economy.

More Miles per pound

After Ups and Downs with the price of oil during the beginning of the new millennium, that brought us as a result the War on Terror in my "personal Opinion", the invasion of Iraq and more troops going to the middle east. I have understood that America is one of the countries that depend its economy based in oil,petroleum,gasoline. However, America like in other countries that depend on oil have started to develop new technologies to be more independent of it, like the car industry which has been suffered a lot in the recent recession.

Big companies like GM, Ford and Chrysler have had to cut personnel and as a result of this crisis, simply because people are buying cheaper cars. However, Honda and GM have started to develop new technologies to save money for the costumers and be more independent of the use of gasoline in their cars. They have beginning to built NGV Cars (natural gas vehicles). In America there are more than 130.000 NGV mostly buses, but the idea is to spread to the general public.

This NGV cars comparing to the gasoline base cars are more efficient, environmentally friendly and offers a relatively low cost of ownership also Compressed Natural gas is odorless, tasteless and colorless.

From the grill to the Steam

Some people might not know that the 16.3% of energy in the State of New Jersey comes from coal and is cheaper than any other natural resource.

In addition, the Garden State is the 9th highest electricity prices in the nation.

It looks like New Jersey is getting the energy from wrong sources instead to get it from the cheapest, most natural and efficient.

Let's not forget this facts: coal accounts for half of the electricity use in the US, using coal to generate electricity is less than a 1/3 of the cost of other fuels, America has more than 200 years of available coal reserves.
