Washington, DC, United States (AHN) - U.S. President Barack Obama, since taking office, has rescued and is on the way to build the American economy according to a presidential economy report released Thursday.
Christina Romer, the Chair of President Obama's Council of Economic Advisers (CEA), in a statement highlighting the analytical parts of the report accepted that there is "evidence that developments on Wall Street affect Main Street."
The report in a 300-page analytical form sums up Obama Administration's first year in office from the White House point of view.
The theme of the report is "rescuing, rebalancing, and rebuilding" the economy, but Romer mostly pointed at the economic and fiscal disaster scenario when President Obama took office and challenges since overcome by the administration.
Romer said, "Over the past year, the President, working with Congress, has sought to rescue the economy from the immediate crisis, rebalance the economy toward greater investment and exports and away from unsustainable budget deficits, and begin the process of rebuilding the economy on a stronger foundation of quality, affordable health care, better education and job training, clean energy, and innovation."
One of the main themes of the administration to generate jobs gets approval with the report pointing out that "$90 billion of clean energy investments in the Recovery Act" did affect ongoing job creation mechanism.
The report reiterated earlier claims by the administration that the stimulus package saved or created about 2 million jobs.
The report suggested some worsening of the situation before improving in the long-run as it assumed an average unemployment rate of 10.0% this year.
Overall, the report blames the "inherited" situation and projected a future improvement because of "the President's commitment to address a wide range of short-run and long-run economic problems."
