this article was written by Madison Powers, a columnist for CQ politics, an online news outlet. this heavily educated article was written to people (probably those of only higher education could really understand) whom are in the dark the current stimulus plan and what exactly the trade offs of the stimulus are.
The writer's basic argument is about the 2 most important and debated trade offs of the stimulus deal and their need to eliminate them both as best as possible before the deal passes through. The writer is informing people whom are unsure what the package really consists of just what to expect from it in the short term and in the long run. She is also explaining how both sides are struggling on how to get the most bang for the buck on the return and getting as close to a dollar return near that of a 2:1 ratio.
The stimulus deal is extremely complex and long, its almost twice the size of "War and Peace." Most Americans are in the dark as to what this package does and most importantly, how will it affect us individually and exactly how surefire is this deal? We can only hope that this is the savior it is advertised to be unfortunately.
