Assignment #4 C.Robertson

States and Cities in Scramble for Stimulus Cash by Monica Davey pointed out that state legislatures and mayors are already planning out what they will be spending their stimulus money on. This article in the New York Times was aimed towards Americans to furter inform them of the passing and plans for the stimulus bill. Infastructure seems to be of concern to many states and that is made obvious in this article. Transportation improvements are also in the plans for some states which is expected to create new jobs. Political arguments over the money are also predicted concerning how to spend the money. The article also presents to readers that every job created from this bill will eventually cost taxpayers. The fact that the author brought to the readers attention that the amount of the stimulus bill could create the 15th largest country in the world really put the drastic amount of help needed for our economy into perspective, and I believe that was Monica Davey's purpose with that statement inserted from Mark Sanford. In my opinion, prioritizing properly will make the most difference with the passing of this bill.
