Assignment #2 ECapps

Cindi Ross Scoppe, associate editor of The State.com posted "Government has to make choices families, businesses don't" Jan. 22, 2009. This article shows the complicated situation our government is in. They must weigh the better of several evils so to speak. The question is, does our economy benefit more from raising taxes or cutting taxes. Should we take from the individual families and give more to the government or should we take from the government to give to the individual families? Both scenarios have good and bad outcomes but our government has to try to figure out witch is for the betterment of our united nation, they must do what is best for our society as a whole. People are nervous with the buzz of our economic situation and job losses. There is a great impulse to hoard instead of continue spending. There is also the issue of what can be cut. Should college students suffer so k-12 can be more productive? These are issues Cindi Ross Scoppe wants to everyone in America to take note of and take into consideration. Then perhaps we can rationalize what the best decision is for our economic future.
