Stimulus Bill for Our Economy

Our country is in desperate need of being rescued. With this in mind our President has apparently come up with a stimulus plan that is supposedly going to give our country many things it is in dire need of. Although, the Republicans have a different plan in mind that will be cheaper so they say. What is being talked of is raising the employment rate, supplying all medical facilities with electronic medical records, and making our energy usage more efficent to save money.

Obama is proposing that this new bill will create 3.5 billion new jobs. Wouldn't that be great for our country? Republicans state that they could pass a bill creating twice as many jobs for half the amount. It will take plenty of money to do what needs to be done either way it goes. What matters most is that which ever bill is used, it does what it is suposed to do, like the creating of all those jobs.

This bill is supposed to supply the medical facilities with electronic records abilities. The savings over a ten year period will outway the cost to make this possible incredibly. A few years ago only 12% of physicians and 11% of hospitals were using the new computerized records technique. (Robertson, and Bank)



Also the President wants our energy to be used more efficiently. He proposes that we learn a new way of saving energy. This in turn will save our country a tremendous amount of money. Some improvements expected would be better power lines that can handle more energy, and a way for homeowners to see how much energy they are using.


If this new Stimulus Bill is passed hopefully all will go as expected. I am sure that most improvements for the greater of our country will take a period of time to accomplish. In the long run though, it will be worth it..
