Monica Davey wrote "States and Cities in Scramble for Stimulus Cash" for the NYTimes. It is an article about the problems America's government is having with President Obama's Stimulus Package. It seems as though there is high tension for each state when it comes to figuring out how much money and for what projects the stimulus money will be spent on. Monica's article gives examples of a few states and the challenges they are faced with in dealing with stimulus money decisions. There is great debate in the need to spend the money on transportation, education, medicaid, and infrastructure projects. Yet, one thing is certain, whatever is done should be done fast so that the money is put into our economy as soon as possible.
I think the question is, can America's government and politicians get things organized and swiftly figured out so that the Stimulus Package does what it was intended to do and help America's sinking economy before it is too late.
