The stimulus bill passed a while back and some people are still under the impression that they are going to personally profit from it. Unless you are able to get a new job that comes directly out of the stimulus bill, the ordinary man on the street is going to see none of this money that is being thrown around so freely by the government.
Politicians see many of the big companies of today as being so important that they cant allow them to fail. This means, although these companies have been run poorly, made innumerable mistakes, and sometimes even headed by crooks, the government is going to come to the rescue and save them. Of course, the government is really just our tax dollars so we will be paying for all their mistakes in the form of higher taxes. It is true that Obama inherited a terrible economy with many problems but is this really the answer?
This is upsetting to many as those who have played by the rules and run their companies responsibly will be paying for the mistakes of others. We will all be paying for the incompetence of these companies that did not plan well for the future and the changing economy. In the free market capitalist society we live in, wouldnt it be better to just let these companies fail like they are supposed to?
The amount of the stimulus package is so large that it is hard for the average person to comprehend the numbers. Money is being passed out in a variety of ways to businesses, ecological causes, politicians pet projects, and state and local governments all across the United States. It is impossible to get a handle on where this money is going.
