Very meaningful work. I applaud you for your insightfulness. Thank youuu. I encourage you to keep writing in your blog because you have and will continue to inspire many politics-interested scholars. Also, i agree the stimulus package is necessary. I suggest that your next blog is about cash-for-CLUNKERS, as I am very interested in this topic and I’m sure that many others are as well. Thank you for your time, and remember, “C4C”, (cash for clunkers).

I appreciate you managing this site. But I disagree with you and think that the stimulus package may bring us out of the reccession it may also permanently criple the U.S. Because of the spending put into this bill America will be tied to nations and the inflation of the U.S. Dollar will increase so much that it will become virtualy worthless. We will be broke. The Stimulus is saying to all the big companies that you are to big to fail. All of the banks will be contorlled by the Fed government which is Socialism. I praise and support Governor Rick Perry for keeping Stimulus money out of Texas!

Welcome to my blog Tanner! I apologize for not getting to this post sooner, I’ve been extremely busy with my studies. I agree that education would be a great thing for this country to be investing in, and that there is a lot of garbage in the system right now. I suppose my only concern would be if each state would use the federal funding effectively, but that’s a whole other issue.

Thanks for commenting.

Dear Alberto,

First of all I have to say that your site is very informative and I greatly appreciate you managing it!

Although I agree with most of what you say, I beleive that investing in the educational sector would be beneficial to the long term prosperity of our economy because this money could help reform the ineffective and inefficient aspects of our schools.

Reforms would include researching whether all the payed teachers and administrators are really necessary. I beleive that we should use computer programs to teach “some” classes that are applicable to them, such as Rosetta Stone for a foreign language. Personally, I used Rosetta Stone and within the first 6 hours I learned almost more Spanish than I had within my entire first year of Spanish class in school! Even though layoffs to replace teachers with computers would not benefit the current crises that we face, we could layoff unnecesary teaching staff in the future to save money. This would help depreciate our deficit. To help prevent a drastic amount of layoffs we could somewhat persuade people not to go into the teaching feild now so that we arn’t neccesarily laying anybody off, but the number of teaching staff is decreasing, rather.

Perhaps, this is not the best time to initiate such a program due to the fact that it would cause so many layoffs, thus worsening the recession. If we don’t start this program now, we should definitely start it in the near future to make our education sector more efficient and reduce our national, and state, deficit.

I agree that time will ultimately fix the market, but what to do about people hurting now?

Thanks for visiting and voicing your thoughts!
