The Stimulus

Today, February 13th, 2009, Congress approved a $787 billion economic stimulus measure. This bill is one that is highly debated, for not one House Republican voted for it. One might argue that the Republicans did not vote for the stimulus bill in rebuke of the new Democratic president, but as John A. Boehner accused, the bill is not about jobs but about spending. The stimulus package is one that is going to put America only in more debt, but at the same time, it is something that Americans need because of the economic crisis. Are we suppose to worry about the present, or plan for the future? The stimulus bill is one that will definitely make improvements for now, but as the Republicans worry, the future generations will feel its effects.

This article and ones that relate to it are important to read because it is important to have knowledge of  what bills are being signed that are effecting that Americans income. It is also important to read the benefits you will have once the stimulus bill is passed, which I have provided a link for.
