Stimulus Plan: Jobs

When it comes to the Stimulus Plan, you are probably either completely for it or dead against it. I have to say that most of this Stimulus Package is a good idea. Right now you may feel tempted to shout "liberal" and click that "X" on the top right corner of this page. Don't. I plan on actually explaining my opinion (shocking I know).

There is a lot to talk about with the Stimulus Plan, so I think it would be a good idea to break it up and look at it in parts. The first thing I want to talk about is jobs.

Probably THE best thing the stimulus plan does is it creates and saves jobs. The total jobs to be saved and created is 3 to 4 million. The amount to be saved/created per state is projected to range from 8,000 in Wyoming to 396,000 in California. This plan will create jobs through various projects, such as highway construction, and through the creation of new jobs in industries like renewable energy. Saving millions of jobs means touching the lives of almost every American. If it wasn't your job saved it could be you mom's, brother's, cousin's, great grandfather's, etc. What I am saying is jobs keep the economy going.

If a person can keep their job they can buy food, clothes, and useless crap. These purchases pay the salaries of the store owners and manufacturers of the food, clothes, and useless crap. The stores and manufacturers of the food, clothes, and useless crap then make enough money to pay their employees, this saves even more jobs. Your boss pays you, you buy stuff, the people who make/sell the stuff get profit, they pay their employees who then buy more stuff. In my opinion, this cycle needs to happen as soon as possible. It can not be put off for Congress to debate for another couple months. Our country's need for immediate action is one of the main reasons I support this Plan.
