Reread the excerpt from President Obama's "Jobs Bill Speech." Tonight we meet at an urgent time for our country. We continue to

face an economic crisis that has left millions of our neighbors jobless, and a political crisis that has made things worse. This past week, reporters have been asking “What will this speech mean for the President? What will it mean for Congress? How will it affect their polls, and the next election?” But the millions of Americans who are watching right now: they don’t care about politics. They have real life concerns. Many have spent months looking for work. Others are doing their best just to scrape by—giving up nights out with the family to save on gas or make the mortgage; postponing retirement to send a kid to college. I am sending this Congress a plan that you should pass right away. It’s called the American Jobs Act. There should be nothing controversial about this piece of legislation. Everything in here is the kind of proposal that’s been supported by both Democrats and Republicans—including many who sit here tonight. And everything in this bill will be paid for. Everything. The purpose of the American Jobs Act is simple: to put more people back to work and more money in the pockets of those who are working. It will create more jobs for construction workers, more jobs for teachers, more jobs for veterans, and more jobs for the long-term unemployed. It will provide a tax break for companies who hire new workers, and it will cut payroll taxes in half for every working American and every small business. It will provide a jolt to an economy that has stalled, and give companies confidence that if they invest and hire, there will be customers for their products and services. You should pass this jobs plan right away. Pass this jobs bill, and starting tomorrow, small businesses will get a tax cut if they hire new workers or raise workers’ wages. Pass this jobs bill, and all small business owners will also see their payroll taxes cut in half next year. If you have 50 employees making an average salary, that’s an $80,000 tax cut. And all businesses will be able to continue writing off the investments they make in 2012. Pass this jobs bill, and we can put people to work rebuilding America. Everyone here knows that we have badly decaying roads and bridges all over this country. Our highways are clogged with traffic. Our skies are the most congested in the world. The American Jobs Act will repair and modernize at least 35,000 schools. It will put people to work right now fixing roofs and windows; installing science labs and high-speed internet in classrooms all across this country. It will rehabilitate homes and businesses in communities hit hardest by foreclosures. It will jumpstart thousands of transportation projects across the country. And to make sure the money is properly spent and for good purposes, we’re building on reforms we’ve already put in place. Pass this jobs bill, and thousands of teachers in every state will go back to work. These are the men and women charged with preparing our children for a world where the competition has never been tougher. But while they’re adding teachers in places like South Korea, we’re laying them off in droves. It’s unfair to our kids. It undermines their future and ours. And it has to stop. Pass this jobs bill, and put our teachers back in the classroom where they belong. Pass this jobs bill, and companies will get extra tax credits if they hire America’s veterans. We ask these men and women to leave their careers, leave their families, and risk their lives to fight for our country. The last thing they should have to do is fight for a job when they come home. Pass this bill, and hundreds of thousands of disadvantaged young people will have the hope and dignity of a summer job next year. And their parents, low-income Americans who desperately want to work, will have more ladders out of poverty. . . . Then answer the question that follows. Do you think this type of argument is convincing? Give at least three reasons to support your answer. Your answer should contain the following: Your opinion Reason #1 Reason #2 Reason #3

Answer:

I think this argument is really convincing.

<u><em>Reason # 1:</em></u>

All of the people will be benefited from Jobs Bill.

<u><em>Reason # 2:</em></u>

The argument seems to be really convincing because all points of the speech are surrounding one main point that is welfare of the people and helping them get out of poverty.

<u><em>Reason # 3:</em></u>

People will also like it and convinced from it because they find out that doing Jobs, there would be no more poverty and they will at least receive money to feed their family.

Answer: A cantankerous black stallion named Old Whip might be one of the great, unsung heroes of the Texas Revolution. The big horse was a tall, muscular half-thoroughbred that belonged to Allen Vince, a gentleman from Missouri. Vince came to Texas as part of Stephen F. Austin’s colony. We can only speculate on why the horse was named Old Whip, but it seems possible, given the stories about the horse’s independent nature, that his owner was forced to resort to the whip occasionally to modify the stallion’s behavior
