Assignment # 2 Rmiskelly

A passage in The State newspaper, Cindi Scoppe's article entitled "Government has to make choices families, businesses don't" brings to light the financial situation our state is facing. Many of the analogies she uses prescribed to family money burdens seen like cut and dry plans to quick, easy bailouts for our economy. However, the reality is that our government has obligations to not just us, but everyone. Regardless, where we cut spending, cut jobs, increase funds, somebody else is going to suffer. The question remains whats the quickest way out of this situation with the least casualities.

Scoppe is addressing South Carolinians, taxpayers, whom are angry that we should be out of this mess already. Those folks that say "let them eat cake." She is trying to bring awareness to the situation.
