Current Event Assignment (Week Three - Greg Gayes)

This video discusses the recent stimulus package that President Obama has presented to the American people and to Congress. It recently passed the House of Representatives with a 244-188 vote, with no Republicans supporting the plan. There is a great deal of debate over the effectiveness of this plan, since it includes spending more than $800 billion. This video reveals both sides of the debate, with the Republicans saying that the money is not being spent properly, and Democrats insisting it is the best way to stimulate the economy. I will attempt to discuss both sides of this debate.
