The article "Government has to make choices families, businesses don't" was written by Cindy Scoppe, and published in "The State". Its letting the south carolina citizens know about the economic problems. Scoppe says that citizens are comparing the budget problems between people and the government and they cant its too different. The article is also talking about how we are dealing with the change right now and it gives a bunch of different ways the government can help. Some ways they gave in the article were not recieving bounses in order to hold off on layoffs, and raising taxes to increase in state spending, salaries and local purchases are all good ways to avoid laying off hundreds of people who really need jobs to support themselves and their families. During this time many people need to sacrifice a lot of things just to be able to live and help the economy. We have to think about everyone because everyone is going through the same thing in this world. Everybody has to do their own part to help out during this crisis. So we all have to make a few sacrficies in order to help out the state and the country as well.
