Madison powers wrote the article In CQ politics. The article is written towards the American People discussing the trade offs of the new proposed stimulus plan. Just like anyone else Madison seems apprehensive about this new economic plan. The plan has two different trade offs the loss of efficiency and equality, and also the other trade off is it needs balance to its infrastructure to encourage economic growth. I hope that this package will bring us out of the bad economical times and also helps the enviroment as well.

The article, Trade-Offs in the Stimulus Package” is written by, Madison Powers, who is a CQ Guest Columnist. Powers main point in the article is that there must be tradeoffs in the stimulus package. The stimulus package must balance between two trade offs. According to Powers the first, “trade-off is between goals of efficiency and ideals of equity. The second is the need to strike a balance between infrastructure and other activities that also stimulate economic growth.” To find a balance between these two trade-offs will be very difficult.
Powers wants the people to be aware of what is happening. He wants the people to understand this economic problem will take a while to fix. He also wants the people to understand each political party has different views on how the money in the Stimulus package should be spent. Democrats want the money to spent on useless things. Republicans want the money to be spent on conservatively. In my opinion this specific stimulus package will only make the economic situation worse. Only time will tell though.

In the Article, "Trade-Offs in the Stimulus Package," by Madison Powers, a CQ Guest Columnist, the author tries to educate us on how trade-offs will help get this Econmic Stimulus Package up and running and running smoothly. Powers points out that there are two likely trade-offs that will make or break our thoughts, and opinions on the Stimulus Package. "One trade-off is between goals of efficiency and ideals of equity. The second is the need to strike a balance between infrastructure and other activities that also stimulate economic growth." The author later points out that some economists believe that in order for all of this too work we need to stabalize the economies downfall, from the past decade or so, so that we can ensure a more widespread recovery.
As for the other issue, we find ourselves looking for ways to improve our econmy, by working in more infrastructure. We need to make some decisions, that will benefit us later on as well, not just fix what we have wrong now. We cannot just scrape the surface of our terrible economy, we need to dig deeper to help prevent another downfall in the future.
All in all, there are going to many things that we will have to do from the beginning, that will ensure that we can bring our economy back to par, instead of leaving it sliced out in the rough.

Assighment #3 H.Miller

Madison Powers, writes "Trade Offs in the Stimulous Package" for CQ Politics as a guest columist. His artical defines the benefits of the stimulous package rather than the negitive effects it can have. A lot of people go oline to read about the news now days, and people can now comment on his artical. This was clearly directed towards an educated society, Powers uses a strong vocabulary and talks on politcal issues.
In summary, Powers artical addresses her opinion of the efficiency-equity issue facing America today. H explains that cutting out the "extras" such as equity will allow efficiency in the ecoomic crisis. It seems that we will have to "take one for the team" and deal with the tax increases and other cuts that go along with this recession for a greater outcome in the future.

"Trade-Offs in the Stimulus Package" was writing by Madison Powers that has appearede in the CQ Politics. This article appeared on Feb.4, 2009. This article is written to all audiences that interested in the subject.
This article talks about two things. One is the trade-offs between goals of efficiency and ideals of equity. The second talks about the needs to strike a balance activities and infrastructures that help stimulate economic growth. I do not agree with the first trade off because it is just given the american people to spend more money on useless things than just on what they really need. I agree with the second part of the debate. I do believe that we need to focus on the enviroment to help it become more humane for generations to come. Even though the governemtn is focusing more on the first part of the debate, i think that they should equal attention on both problems.

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.
