Is the Obama bailout plan the seemingly elusive way out of the crisis?
President Barack Obama’s bailout plan is expected to create and even help save at least 2.5 million jobs related to the design, building, and maintenance of renewable energy projects. These jobs include ironworking, window manufacturing, power distribution, and alternative energy as well.

These news jobs are also expected to prompt community colleges, power companies, and state energy offices to put up training programs to help both seasoned and new workers adjust well in to their new occupations. More and more people believe that the obama bailout plan may very well be providing jobs to most of the people that have been aversely affected by the global recession.
There are, however, those who believe that the obama bailout plan may very well be causing an even greater problem, and this may very well be a problem that has no immediate solution. The bigger problem is best explained by a look on a series of situations which could have a significant impact on the American economy.

The bailout plan, as proposed by US President Barack Obama, requires massive monetization of debt by the Federal Reserve, as well as huge new debt issues from the Treasury. This situation in turn poses the question: will the US dollar’s status as world reserve be threatened by this massive debt monetization? Will this be further compounded by the multiyear mutitrillion dollar issuance of new treasuries?
These are pertinent questions because of the following reason: The United States has an economy that is primarily dependent on imports for sources of energy, shoes, clothing, and even advanced technological products. Should the US dollar ever lose its current status as world reserve, the US will not be able to pay for the imports that sustains it, and this is undoubtedly a crises that is sure to be an even bigger problem than the current economic pinch.
President Obama has recently allayed fears regarding this issue by issuing a statement during a press conference, saying that the US dollar remains strong. This is on the back of the belief of President Obama’s advisers that the US will have no problem monetizing debt and issue new debt endlessly, since the capital markets of the US are the deepest and most liquid in the world.
Experts, however, still maintain that the current direction of the Obama bailout plan may not be the way out of the crisis that the US is looking for. Many believe that to avert the even bigger crisis that is looming in the background, the US must focus on saving the dollar’s status as the reserve currency. This is seen as being done by reducing the US budget and trade deficits, a proposal that may not be the most welcome for the Obama administration.
