The article"Government has to make choices families, businesses don’t" was written by Cindi Ross Scoppe,and was published in "The State". It was targeted more towards the citizens of south carolina in order to inform them about the economic problems that the state and the country is facing right now. The article talks about how we are in a real crisis right now and gives various different ways in order for the government to help out. Ideas such as 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 these tough economic times we all have to make some sacrfices in order to help out in the struggling economy. If that means we all have to pay a little extra on taxes and not recieve those nice bounses during the holidays then we are going to have to learn to deal with it. It is better for us to help hundreds of people keep their jobs then to recieve nice bounses and spend it on something useless like a brand new high definition T.V or the latest high tech gadget on the market. We need to be creating more jobs for people and not cut them. The government is meant to help us, but we can't make them do all the work for us. 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.
