Government Handing Out A Possilbe Future

From April 22nd

This is one of the best stories I've read all semester.  I really like the way the author goes back and forth between Mr. Moore and Mr. Perez with another story thrown in the middle.  As a reader, I got a really good understanding of the problems that each men were facing and it really created drama within the story.  Plus the subject matter itself is just dramatic in general, you have to feel sorry for everyone involved within this story.
On the subject and article itself, I think that the way this stimulus plan was handled by the White House is atrocious.  These are the leaders of our country and they were put in charge to lead, not just throw out money.  They need to set the guidelines on who to give money to and how to advertise it.  They have the experts in Washington to help them, they need to get the job done and not let local authority, who are overwhelmed by the masses clamoring for the money, out to dry.
