Assignment # 3 C Archie

The article "Trade-Offs in the Stimulus Package", is great for what it's worth. Questioning whether to think big and watch the money trickle outward to everyone, or to go after smaller projects that could use the money quickly. It's hard to decide but the longer they wait the more time everybody has with no money whatsoever. If our state doesn't get money within the near future what else can they cut? Education has already taken a big hit; with the way this state has been for so many years now I feel that is the last thing we need to think of reducing funds for.
I feel that attacking the small projects with the most force is best for our country. We don't need the better roads to drive our cars on if nobody can afford one in the first place. Having a home and a car is an American Dream and with so many people losing half of that battle how can we focus on infrastructure. The working class needs job security and then they will start spending money. The jobs need to be stable, we do not need anymore government works programs to plunge our national debt even further.
