The article "Trade-offs in the Stimulus Package" is an article written by Madison Powers for CQpolitics.com. It was written to give an overview of the problems carried within the stimulus bill, and the overall basics of it. The author is trying to show both sides of the fence by illustrating what Congress must consider when writing the package into stone. They have to consider if everything would pay off, and if we can actually weather this storm.
When Roosevelt's New Deal was still fresh, it created many government organizations to care for the people. It provided people with jobs, and that's exactly what we need right now. National unemployment is over 7%. There are going to be a lot of strange projects included in the stimulus, but what really matters is if those projects will produce jobs.
