3.5 Million Jobs

Congress has put together a $789 million dollar stimulus package to help the economy. The plan will is suppose to create 3.5 million jobs. The new plan will provide aid of states, tax cuts for the "middle class", and money for building infrastructure. But most do not take into consideration the fact that we are already losing jobs. A total of 3.5 million people will be out of work and by this time the stimulus package would not be in affect. So this $789 million dollars will go to supporting the unemployed. The stimulus package requires economists who believe unemployment is moving toward 9% to subtract jobs faster than the government is creating them. Many believe that the stimulus package is a lie to give people false hope.
