The article is "Trade-off in the Stimulus Package" by Madison Powers, came out in the CQ politics Feb,4 2009. She is telling the readers about the Stimulus package, what its going to do for the country and how the stimulus may help save the country. It also gives to cons and pons about the package. I think that the stimulus will only make things worse because the first stimulus package didn’t go so well. But we just have to believe in our president to make things better or make thing worse, who knows we will see in the end what happens to the country. Madison Powers also says in the article that spending nearly $1 trillion dollars in small sectors will hopefully ensure long-term economic stability instead of a quick fix for the years to come. We need to focus more on the smaller things rather then everything as a whole. I do think that the government needs to designs a system of checks and balances that will keep the population confident that this money doesn’t go to waste and will be used for good use.
