Assignment #3 T Gombar

Madison Powers wrote the article “Trade-Offs in the Stimulus Package” for CQPolitics.com. He is a Senior Research Scholar at the Kennedy Institute of Ethics for Georgetown University. I believe this article was written to help explain the stimulus package in a way that is more understandable for the American people who may not be very savvy when it comes to politics. Some news channels and other articles are so vague when it comes to exactly what this stimulus bill will do exactly. I thought this article was very well written and helped me understand a little bit more, of what this will do.

I think this article will also to let people know that this bill is not going to produce an immediate change. These will be small changes that will begin to put America in the right direction, but this will not fix everything. Hopefully, this is the beginning and the worst is behind us. We can only wait and see what the outcome will be, because no one can say for sure what will happen.
