1. The Economic Stimulus Package is a bill passed through the congress. The purpose of this bill is to boost the failing economy and keep the recession from becoming a depression. The things this bill will help are the job rates( along with unemployment rates), education budgets, and certain business prices. The stimulus is necessary because the country will succeed into a depression without it.
2. They have disagreements on the price of the package. Some don't believe it is enough and they think we will need another one in a few months. Others believe it is too much, they think we will go into a worse plunder. President Obama responded to these arguments by saying that this is just what the country needs at this moment to keep us from having an even worse economy.
3. The bill is 825 billion dollars. The money of the package will be spent on things that will raise the economy now and will keep t in good condition for the future. It will be spent on certain businesses such as companies that will help the economy and education such as schools so the future generation will be well prepared for future disruptions involving the economy. The bill is also going towards medical payments.
4. Obama emphasized the budget cuts that will happen if the package isn't distributed. He explained the unemployment rate rising without it. The article told what the unemployment rate was and how much the bill will lower it by. The article had many other statistics and facts that deal with the issues in which the package encounters.
5. This bill will help Afrikan Americans along with other citizens in the United States. I don't think it will help us more than others but it will help. It will help us finance the things we need in life, along with our children. I do believe that the amount of the handout will vary because of race and gender. Only because racism and sexism is still a big problem in our country.
