The stimulus bill passed a while back and some people are still under the impression that they are going to personally profit from it. Unless you are able to get a new job that comes directly out of the stimulus bill, the ordinary man on the street is going to see none of this money that is being thrown around so freely by the government.

Politicians see many of the big companies of today as being so important that they cant allow them to fail. This means, although these companies have been run poorly, made innumerable mistakes, and sometimes even headed by crooks, the government is going to come to the rescue and save them. Of course, the government is really just our tax dollars so we will be paying for all their mistakes in the form of higher taxes. It is true that Obama inherited a terrible economy with many problems but is this really the answer?

The amount of the stimulus bailouts is astoundingly high and those of us that have played by the rules are the ones having to foot the bill. It also seems that things might still get worse even with the stimulus package no matter what Obama does or doesnt do. This makes one wonder whether doing nothing at all would have been the right choice and letting things happen naturally.

The amount of the stimulus package is so large that it is hard for the average person to comprehend the numbers. Money is being passed out in a variety of ways to businesses, ecological causes, politicians pet projects, and state and local governments all across the United States. It is impossible to get a handle on where this money is going.

It seems that everyone is in line for some of this money except individuals who might really need it. Some people are getting assistance with lower mortgage payments but there doesnt seem to be many ways for the common person to benefit. People all over the country are hurting financially and it might be nice if they could get a piece of the handouts.
