With Loan Guarantees, Obama Looks to Nuclear Energy for Jobs

This is the VOA Special English Economics Report, from http://voaspecialenglish.com

One year ago, President Obama signed the economic recovery bill aimed at pulling the country out of recession. The bill promised jobs — including many in the nuclear energy industry.

In February, the president announced plans for the government to guarantee more than eight billion dollars in loans for two new nuclear energy centers in the state of Georgia. The Southern Company plans to build the nuclear power centers. The first would start operations in twenty sixteen.

Mister Obama announced the plan at a job training center in Lanham, Maryland. The message was that nuclear energy projects will create jobs. President Obama said: It is a plant that will create thousands of construction jobs in the next few years, and some eight hundred permanent jobs — well paying permanent jobs — in the years to come.

In February, the Federal Reserve predicted that unemployment will remain near current levels through the year. The present rate is nine point seven percent. The central bank said unemployment could remain high for the next two years.

President Obama has received sharp criticism from Republicans over the lack of progress in job creation.

The seven hundred eighty-seven billion dollar American Recovery and Reinvestment Act is also unpopular because of its cost. Critics said the money is being spent too slowly with less than sixty percent being spent so far. But the administration said the measure has saved or created two million jobs.

By supporting nuclear energy, the president may be seeking common ground with Republicans who have called for building as many as one hundred new nuclear power centers.

Mister Obama has linked clean energy with economic growth. He also warned that the United States is falling behind in developing nuclear energy. He said: There are fifty-six nuclear reactors under construction in the world: twenty-one in China alone; six in South Korea and five in India.
The United States has not built a new nuclear power plant in nearly thirty years. American public opinion about nuclear energy has been mixed. In recent years, public opinion studies show more than half of Americans approve of nuclear energy. About one-fifth of the nations electricity is generated by nuclear power.

And that’s the VOA Special English Economics Report.

We Don’t Care- Kanye West

The College Dropout-Track 2

We Don’t Care Lyrics
Artist(Band):Kanye West

Oh yeah
I got the perfect song for the kids to sing

And all my people that’s
Drug dealing just to get by
Stackin money till it gets sky high
We wasn’t suppose to make it past 25
Joke’s on you we still alive
Throw your hands up in the sky
And say we don’t care what people say

[Verse 1]
If this is your first time hearing this
You are about to experience somethin so cold man
We never had nothing handed
Took nothing for granted
Took nothing from no man
Man I’m my own man
But as a shorty I looked up to the dope man
Only the dopeman
I knew that wasn’t broke man
Flicking starter coats man
Man you don’t know man
And we dont care what people say

This is for my niggas outside all winter
Cause this summer they ain’t finna say next summer im finna,
Sitting in the hood like community colleges
This dope money here is little Tre’s scholarship
Cause there ain’t no tuition for having no ambition
And ain’t no loans for sitting your at home
So we forced to sell crack, rap, and get a job
You got to do something man your is grown

[Chorus]
Drug dealing just to get by
Stackin money till it gets sky high
(Kids sing, kids sing)
We wasn’t supposed to make it past 25
Joke’s on you we still alive
Throw your hands up in the sky
And say we don’t care what people say

[Verse 2]
The second verse is for my dogs working 9 to 5 that still hustle cause a nigga can’t shine off 6.55
And everybody selling make up, Jacob’s, and bootleg tapes just to get they cake up
We put on layaway then come back
We claim other people kids on our income tax
We take that money, cop work then push packs to get paid
And we don’t care what people say

Momma say she want to move South
Scratching lottery tickets eyes on a new house
Around the same time Doe ran up in dude’s house
Couldn’t get a job
So since he couldn’t get work he figured he take work
The drug game bulemic it’s hard to get weight
Some niggas money is homo it’s hard to get straight
But we gonna keep baking to the day we get cake
And we dont care what people say

My niggas

[Chorus]
Drug dealing just to get by
Stack your money till it gets sky high
(Kids sing, kids sing)
We wasn’t supposed to make it past 25
Joke’s on you we still alive
Throw your hands up in the sky
And say we don’t care what people say

[Verse 3]
You know the kids gonna act a fool when you
Stop the programs for after school and they
DCFS, some of them dislexic
They favorite 50 cent song 12 Questions we scream
Why ‘spose we start?
See now we smart
We ain’t retards the way teachers thought
Hold up, hold fast
We make more cash
Now tell my momma I belong in that slow class
It’s bad enough we on welfare
You trying to put me on the school bus with the space for the wheel chair
I’m trying to get the car with the chromy wheels here
You trying to cut our lights out like we don’t live here
Look at what’s handed us
Fathers abandon us
When we get the hammers go and call the ambulance
Sometimes I feel no one in this world understands us
But we dont care what people say

My niggas

[Chorus]
Drug dealing just to get by
Stack your money till it gets sky high
(Kids sing, kids sing)
We wasn’t supposed to make it past 25
Joke’s on you we still alive
Throw your hands up in the sky
And say we don’t care what people say
