The article “Trade-Offs in the Stimulus Package is written by Madison Powers, a Senior Research Scholar at the Kennedy Institute of Ethics, Georgetown University. Madison’s column appears weekly in CQ Politics. This column was written in Congressional Quarters which is an online magazine. This article was written to discuss 1 trillion dollar stimulus package proposed by our president Barrack Obama. It spoke directly to American people and seemed to be very informative but yet argumentative as well.
The author looks at the main points of the package and as well as Americans disagreements of it. One of his major arguments is one of many Americans. This argument is that the government needs to intervene with our countries finances, which I agree with a lot. I think they need to intervene with the banks finances as well though and look for the root of the problem and start there meaning the start of all the economic disaster we are in.
