"Trade-Offs in the Stimulus Package" was written by Madsion Powers for the Congressional Quarterly, an online political magazine. The article was about the stimulus package the government is proposing and its effects on our economy and finances.
The author's article was directed toward all Americans, to inform us of the stimulus package details, and what it will do for our economy. The basic argument the author was trying to make is that the government needs to intervene with the country's finances. It may be small changes, but they will eventually make a big change in our failing economy. The author wrote this article because Americans need to understand what the stimulus plan is and what it's supposed to do for our country's financial failings. We need to understand how to make the plan work for us.
