This article was written by Cindi Ross Scoppe. It appeared in Columbia’s newspaper: The State. This article was written to show the complexity of the issues, that the government is facing in trying to find a course of action to take during this recession. This article is directed toward all people. It is done so that people are aware that each decision has an upside and downside.
The argument that the author wants to make is that the governments should be making the decisions on how to fix the economic problem facing the country. This is a problem that is out of the hands of the average citizen and only government can solve the problems we face. The author also wants every reader to understand that if a decision is made, and whatever that decision is; there will be some positive effects and some negative. No decision is superlative or perfect.
