The reason i think that the stimulus plan is receiving criticism from both parties is because both believe that there way is the best way, and no one is going to be able to change their mind. They criticize Obama because he's not siding specificly with anyone in particular and wants to put in play what he believes to be the best plan for this economic crisis to be resolved. I believe Obama needs to follow through with his plan and what he has said he wants to do, because the way i see it is that what he has in mind of creating new jobs and relying less on foreign oil, etc. is the way to go to get the economy back on it's feet. :]Gladyshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07439218165261206497noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2621554286907004541.post-89578296348875093042009-02-16T20:55:00.000-08:002009-02-16T20:55:00.000-08:00sorry this is late....but i think obama's stimulus...sorry this is late....<BR/>but i think obama's stimulus plan is being criticized so much because people want a fast solution to the economic crises.

Great ideas and plans usually take a couple of tries, it is very rare that some ideas are perfect on the first go. You have to set an idea find all of the problems and you reconstruct it to perfect it. In my opinion I think that the people in congress are right to not approve this plan. This is a great deal of money at stake and we cannot just throw it away on the first "solution" that comes our way. Yes time is running out but we don't want to make things worse by jumping the gun trying to make a speedy recovery which might complicate things even more. I think the elected officials should maybe create a new plan since not everyone is happy with this one. <BR/>-JennahJENNAHwithaHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07835460052419230873noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2621554286907004541.post-88683433553170434672009-02-12T22:07:00.000-08:002009-02-12T22:07:00.000-08:00I think that Obama's stimulus plan is getting so m...I think that Obama's stimulus plan is getting so much criticism because not many people belive it will work and want to get out of the recession right away.

I dont know much about democrates and repulicans and there stands on things, but if I was one of them that is what I would be worried about!I am not positive that the stimulus plan will work, but the way Obama is confident about it makes me feel a little better about this plan. I am not big on politics so I dont know things that would really help the econamy in a huge way because I dont know about other plans that have worked or failed.

It just caused our economy to run itself into where we are at today. Another thought comes into mind that what if the Democrats and Republicans dont want to be just remember as congress that passed a plan that sunk our battleship (economy). I also think that many congress men and woman were caught off guard when Obama came into office and already had a plan and wanted it to pass. Unlike in the pass with Bush that really didn't have a long term solution as Bush knew that he was going out of office and the next person to take office has the job to fix it. The congress must see that like Obama has said government is the only thing now that can stop this reccision and put back our economy back on track. I also agree with Dorkyboy ?? about communism idea if we weren't to have someone to step in our economy would hit rock bottom and then government would have to become communism as there isnt any other part of the economy that could support this nation. For this plan to work government just cant just step in and give buisness billions of dollars hoping them to spend , hire , and expand. It will also take the private sector to make this work as Obama says that 90 % of the job create and saving of jobs will be in the private sector.<BR/><BR/><BR/>Alright well Palo I can go on for days about this giving more opinion and facts on this subject but I have a ton of homework and I am tired form pratice.<BR/><BR/>See you tomorrow at school Coach.Jp #24https://www.blogger.com/profile/10717193267292640576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2621554286907004541.post-82679955643773773442009-02-12T17:43:00.000-08:002009-02-12T17:43:00.000-08:00At this very moment due to the economic crisis, ev...At this very moment due to the economic crisis, everybody is leaning on Obama for support. The first stimulus by Bush did not work so people are hoping that with a new president maybe we have a chance to turn the economy around. The stimulus in my opinion sounds good, hopefully everyone is able to keep track of spendings. And hopefully people spend their money wisely. For example people should not buy houses that they can not pay off, maybe it looks good at the time, but people need to think if they are able to pay it off in the long run. This stimulus plan is not a quick fix for the economy and people need to be reasy to make risk at this moment because our economy has become really bad. Gas prices for example will rise but in the long run it could go down back to normal or even lower.mnguyenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09436475211279490164noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2621554286907004541.post-88861086572311964472009-02-12T15:47:00.000-08:002009-02-12T15:47:00.000-08:00The reason people are criticising is because of th...The reason people are criticising is because of their fear. They fear that the plan will backfire and will only perpetuate our countries debt. Eveyone is already afraid of what has become of our economy and these fears are then transferred to the political parties. There may be people that support the plan and maybe that is because they understand that this is one of the best solutions at the momment or maybe it is because they fear that not taking action will only make it worse. Although, no matter what plan is put into place, there will always be people who reject it but if we allow people to bicker about it and not allow us to take action then the country could possibly collapse.Frankhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12490177111853447295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2621554286907004541.post-7826689003329413552009-02-12T13:50:00.000-08:002009-02-12T13:50:00.000-08:00I think that Obamas stimulus plan is getting alot ...I think that Obamas stimulus plan is getting alot of critisim from both political parties because they probably want a plan that will help out our economy fast.
