KEY WEST TRUMAN LITTLE WHITE HOUSE-A GREAT PLACE TO VISIT!
From 1946 to 1952, The Harry S. Truman Little White House was the winter White House of America, and subsequently used by later Presidents. Fourteen American Presidents have vacationed in the Florida Keys and Key West. This was a relaxing and restoring environment when dealing with the threats of the Cold War. Opened in 1991 as the only Florida Presidential Museum, almost 90% of the furnishings are original to the site, giving an intimate view of Truman’s personal life. Restoration is ongoing to bring the property even closer to its 1949 appearance. Public donations are accepted by the Harry S.Truman foundation.
Tour Guides offer glimpses into the Cold War politics, personal views of Truman, and the Naval History of Key West. The tours are occasional closed for government functions. The home can be used for Private Events as well. Your can host your own private state dinner for two or for one hundred and have an extraordinary dinner party. Weddings are held here too. From February 1 to April 1, 2010, “With Love, Harry” will celebrate Bess Truman’s 125th birthday. Included will be a display of the thousands of letters sent between Harry and Bess over 50 years. Botanical Gardens tours reveal an acre of tropical foliage and trees surrounded by the original 1890 wrought iron fence.
Christmas is a special time here, with “Harry’s Girls” decorating the house. There is a Museum Gift Shop featuring White House Ornaments dating back to 1999. Recently Truman’s 125th birthday was celebrated at the Little White House representing three of his most important decisions: recognition of the state of Israel, the berlin Airlift and desegregation of the military. The birthday cake was served by “Harry’s Girls.”

REPORT ON THE ECONOMY
The Washington Post reports that:
"There has been zero net job creation since December 1999. No previous decade going back to the 1940s had job growth of less than 20 percent. Economic output rose at its slowest rate of any decade since the 1930s as well.
"Middle-income households made less in 2008, when adjusted for inflation, than they did in 1999 -- and the number is sure to have declined further during a difficult 2009. The Aughts were the first decade of falling median incomes since figures were first compiled in the 1960s.
"And the net worth of American households -- the value of their houses, retirement funds and other assets minus debts -- has also declined when adjusted for inflation, compared with sharp gains in every previous decade since data were initially collected in the 1950s." (See: "Aughts were a lost decade for U.S. economy, workers," Jan. 2, 2010)
