The article this week discusses President Obama's stimulus package. His stimulus package is set to create money and jobs through increasing infrastructure by builing roads and bridges. The author writes about this topic for the people of America so that they begin to understand how the stimulus package. The author talks about how the money should be spent by these state officals and the majority of the officals, showing the thoughts of the autor I believe, are in the belief that the stimulus package is not as good as some may think. If the author thought that stimulus package was a good thing then I am sure that he would have mentioned more good comments then the comments that he did write.
The state officals believe that there are more projects than there is money out there. The state officals are affraid that if their states are in not a need for the money towards sthe building of roads or they do not have the ability to make alternate energy they will lose their chance on the money and it will go to another state in "more need." For this being the case there are several states officals thinking of rewriting there budget plans "to secure more federal dollars." "We don't want to be penelized for not haveing a deficit."
Lastly, the author puts in his article how big the deficit is and to give the idea that the budget is big and it does need to be fixed with some type of stimulus package which I believe wraps the authors main point. The stimulus package that Obama plans is so large that "[I]f the stimulus bill were a country, it would be the 15th largest country in the world."
