This article is wrote to the United States citizens to let us know how most states want to spend their stimulus money. In Missouri, it is prepared to begin 34 transportation projects, costing $510 million and promising 14,000 jobs. In Florida, Mayor Frank C. Ortis says, "We have a wish list, making the repairs aging sewer pipes in his city of 150,000 number one." In South Carolina, Governor Mark Sanford thinks this is the worst idea to do. He says, "If we add the cost of this bill to the previous efforts of the Federal government to deal with the financial crisis the American taxpayer is on the hook for $9.7 trillion. Sanford also said, "If the stimulus bill were a country, it would be the 15th-largest country in the world.” It should not matter how big of a deal this stimulus package is, this package is suppose to help the Economy come up and out. It will be great-great grand children paying off the debt.
American society is already falling off the cliff, Obama just wants to make things better and efficient so America can have the jobs and better technology to improve in the future and climb great distance.
