The article "States and Cities in Scramble for Stimulus Cash," was written by Monica Davey. The article appeared in the New York Times on Feburary 16th. The article was directed toward all American citizens and acknowledging those who are interested in the uproar of the Stimulus Package. Davey explains how many have already started planning how they will spend the funds that they receive.
Davey argues that not only will this bill cause chaos amongst different states but will put a strain on the states that deseparately need the funds. However, with all of the chaos amongst who's getting what, may in fact backfire for those who have already mapped out their plans for the funds. In all of the dispute of who is getting what, many have decided not to receive any of the funds based on their beliefs, even when they know their will consequences to be fixed in the long run.
