Assignment #3 N. Orr

Article written by Madison Powers, article appeared on the internet website www.cqpolities. com. I think it was written to give readers an idea of what has to be consider of importance with a stimulus package. I think it's directed to anyone concerned with whats involved in the stimulus package and how it will stimulate our economy.

The author states there are two special signifcance in the debate. One trade off is between goals of efficiency and ideals of equity. Second is the need to stike a balance between infrastructure and other activities that also stimulate economic growth. I think the basic argument is that government has to look hard at what the stimulus package involves, and from there what programs and projects would get our economy back in balance.
