President Barack Obama Stimulus Package

1. In general, what is the Stimulus Package and its overall purpose to the economy? Why is the Stimulus necessary? The stimulus Package is a package that can help our economy, to get people into jobs. The stimulus package will help people from Depression. The stimulus is to help the middle class people in America. The Stimulus Package is necessary because it will help people get a job and not make them loose it, to encourage people to know that we are organized.

2. What are the agreements and disagreements (with Democrats, Republicans, and others) around the Stimulus Package? What are President Obama's counter arguments in this debate? The agreements around the package is that we do need to be successful to help people get into jobs. I also agree that we must turn this challenge into an opportunity because we need more things to do in this economy. It will help because more building will be build putting at least 3 million or even more people in jobs they thought they would never have. I agree with modernizing our health care system, reducing medical errors, putting kids into to schools, and will provide sensible tax reliefs. This will realy make a change.

3. What are the spending details of the Economic Package? How will it create jobs? In other words, where and how will the money be spent? The spending details of the economic package is $55o billion in spending and $275 billion in tax relief, will probably change throughout congress. This would be one of the largest government expenditures in the United State of america history, which will be equivalent to 3% of the democratic product in two years. The businesses will invest for new plants, areas and equipment.Democrats emphasized government spending on tax relief because that was a faster way to create the jobs.

4. What are some other areas of the Package that President Obama emphasized in both speeches on the youtube CNN speeches? Obama stated that this was not a game to play because people needed to get jobs. He was trying to tell people that it was not to get serious, to help the economy. Obama said the stimulus package will not be perfect but it was an opportunity for people to do something in their life time. He also mentioned that it will make more jobs and people can save money on cars because of energy.

5. Do you feel that this package will help Afrikan Americans and if so how? Do you feel that racism and/or gender bias will make a difference in the output or results of the package? Explain. I do think the Stimulus Package will help African Americans because people been looking for jobs and haven't found one. So now is the time to get one. I don't feel that it will be alot of racism because blacks as well as white are looking for a job and not all white or blacks live in places that cost alot. The result of the package would be the same because many people in classes(middle) need jobs.
