Commentary #2

After reading Ignite Incite's blog "be the voice, NOT THE NOISE" I don't think I completely agree or completely understand what your trying to say. First, I'm not sure where you are headed with the introductory paragraph. When you talk about "cancelling out" what are you trying to say. I guess what your saying about the noise is that people need to be more educated about political issues, specifically the stimulus package.

As far as the stimulus package goes I think it's fairly valid. The intent of the package is not to get people out of a jam by giving them money. It's to encourage them to spend the money on clothes, dining out, and other expendables so that the economy can stabilize. Once the economy stabilizes(if it does, I'm no economic analyst) then prices would stop rising as quickly.

I don't see the stimulus package as a form of welfare, nor do I think Americans expect these packages to keep coming every year. For one thing you had to file taxes to even qualify. If you didn't work last year you could hardly file taxes.

Of course the Government is concerned about the financial problems of individuals, the government is supposed to care about yours and my plight. That's their job. With the economy in the state it's in somebody in the government should be doing something to boost it.

Overall I think your missing the point of the stimulus package which is for the economy, not for individuals in financial trouble.
