The article "Trade-off in the Stmulus Package", by Madison Powers, was in the CQ Politics on February 4, 2009. Madison Powers states that there are pros and cons of the stimulus package, but deciding what is best is the question at hand right now. She is basically saying that we need to figure out how and what the money is going to be used for. Basically the government needs to figure out a way to spend the money that benefits in the long run, but at the same time focus on the big picture at hand. Sure we all can say that we need the money, but does it really help us out in the long run. I think the best way to spend the money is to do what is best to focus on what we need as a whole, to get of the slump that we're in. Again saying, how do we spend the money the most efficiently to where it benefits everyone.
Madison Powers makes it cleat that we need to come up with a system that we know where the money is spent the best way.In conclusion, the government should look at the entire economy, and go step-by-step piece-by-piece looking at the best way to go about doing what is best for everyone.
