This article, "Trade-offs in the Stimulus Package", by Madison Powers appears on CQ Politics and addresses the American public. The basic idea of the article is the effect and efficiency of the new stimulus package currently in debate. The article makes a good point to me; we do expect and deserve "the most bang for the buck".
I think it makes sense to spread the money out to numerous needs and projects, but there definitely needs to be accountability for where it goes. The author makes another good point that state budgets would be a good choice to start with, as well as education, and "basic local services". This saves jobs and helps the taxpayers in key areas that are important to almost everyone.
Maybe it is a good idea to "think small" to make a huge impact on the economy. The last stimulus went to big business and it doesn't appear to have had the impact the economy needed and certainly didn't have the accountability it needed.
