Assignment #4 A. Ogle

The article "States and Cities Scramble for Stimulus Cash" was written to explain what the government is planning on doing with getting stimulus money. The article was published in the NY Times by Monica Davey. The author seems to be a fairly neutral writer about this topic.

The author of this article is basically just laying it out for readers to know and understand what the president and congress are planning on doing with the money. The positives and negatives of the stimulus money are discussed.

Positive aspects include mainly revolve around the creation of new and more jobs for many states. The main negative about the plans is that the money distribution is not fair in some people's eyes.

In my opinion, it doesn't matter who gets how much, but how the economy will grow as a whole. As long as things get better gradually, things are going well.
