Assignment #4 pgriffin

This article was written by Monica Davey who writes for the New York Times. The article was written in response to the signing of the stimulus package by President Obama and the passing of it by the US senate. Monica Davey was directing the article to the American public and the state and local governments who are waiting to receive the stimulus checks.

Moncia Davey was not making an argument but was trying to inform the governmental agency and the American public to the fact that the money comes with strings attached to it. South Carolina governor Stanford said he may not accept the money at all because it puts the American people into a deeper deficit than before. The state and local governments are already arguing over who gets what and it has not received the money as of yet. It seems as if the stimulus is causing problems and it has not reached the people it is intended to help. State governments are talking about changing their budgets in order to get a bigger piece of the pie. The county is in a mess and it will take more than a stimulus package to fit the mess. Only God and true faith in Him and His power will change and save a dying America.
