WASHINGTON, Feb. 9, 2009 -- President
Barack Obama was quoted in the Washington Post saying if Congress
does not pass his Stimulus Bill right away, "Our nation will
slip deeper into a crisis that, at some point we may not be able
to reverse."
These are very strong words, but what
if the Stimulus Package simply does not work?
Many of our nations leading Economists
disagree about whether the Stimulus Package is guaranteed to work.
It is certain that our nation's economy is in trouble, but will
getting behind an unpopular Stimulus Package be the beginning
of the end for President Obama?
The fact is, the Stimulus Package may
not actually achieve any of its purported goals.
What if we continue to see an Economic
slump and the Stimulus Package does not create anywhere near the
number of new jobs which Obama has promised? What if the American
public decides it is against the large number of pork barrel spending
provisions of this package and Democrats are the same as Republicans?
Don Swarthout, President of Christians
Reviving America's Values, CRAVE, said, "This Stimulus Package
may actually be Barack Obama's first and only chance to show the
world he is right about how to correct our Economic problems in
the United States."
Swarthout continued, "We do not seem
to remember why we got into this problem in the first place. The
reason our current financial problems are because our government
forced banks to make mortgage loans to people who could not pay
them back. In reality people like Barney Frank and Chris Dodd
should be held accountable and prosecuted for forcing lenders
to make these bad loans."
If this Stimulus Package fails will President
Obama and all the others who supported it be held accountable
and ruined? What if we spend trillions of borrowed tax payer dollars
and it turns out to be a huge mistake?
Swarthout said, "I believe we should
think long and hard about this before we jump in with both feet."
