A limited time Stimulus Package November 2, 2009
The stimulus package has created and/or saved roughly 640,000 jobs for the time being, however what is now apparent is that many of those jobs were not intended to last longer than to “stimulate” the economy. One such example of this was with the work needed for the Federal Communications Commissions. Roughly 4, 231 people were hired to help the FCC in their Tele-Tech call center, helping the nation to transition to direct television. Most of the 4,231 stimulus jobs lasted a month, putting the same people in seach for yet another job. It seems that this is simliar to FDR’s New Deal given during the 1930′s. The government starts to look for chores that need to be done, like a mother does for her child when they are hoping to save money for that very much wanted bicylce. So, is this how stimulus packages should be? or should the government try to build lasting jobs during times of economic crisis?
