The Stimulus Plan: How to Spend $787 Billion

The U.S. Congress passed this plan a while ago. Our teacher wants us to write about three parts of the bill that we feel actively support progressive ideals like renewable energy, changes in American education for the better, and job creation for sustainable jobs. Here are the three parts that I think are more important.



1. Education and Job Training; Aid to States. Help states prevent cuts to essential services like education.
2. Tax Cuts for Businesses; Energy. Expand tax incentives for renewable energy facilities.
3. Unemployment. Extend and increase unemployment compensation.

Education is the most important first step if we want to change the world. Educating the next generations carefully can let them learn from our mistakes, and innovate new technology.
The other part, using tax credit for wind energy and other renewable energy could reduce the gasoline needs and carbon dioxide productions. Last thing, extending unemployment benefits program could save more people from this exhausted economic crisis, and stimulate the people to consume more products. This will help the companies to produce more, and provide more jobs. I think all of the plans are good. I hope these will help our society and Earth become a better place to live.
