This article is entitled “States and Cities in Scramble for Stimulus Cash” written on February 16, 2009, by Monica Davey of the New York Times. This is a very interesting article to me and I think it is by far the most interesting article we have all read yet. It really gives you a great idea as to want is going on in the economy behind almost closed doors.
This article is speaking to the people of America to allow them to know the whole truth about the stimulus packages. It is letting American’s know what some states are planning on doing with it and if a certain state isn’t really to have the money immediately hooked on a project, then they may receive none at all. In a way it almost made our legislatures look greedy to me, but at the same time, it almost makes it seem like over a trillion dollars isn’t enough. I am very amazed by a fact that was stated in this article saying, “For every job the bill creates, American taxpayers will spend $223,000,” written by Mr. Sanford. This amazes me in so many different ways, being that, yes we need to create jobs but should it really cost $223,000 to do so? It seems a little outrageously pricey to me.
