Politics and our lives.

Remember not too long ago, during the campaign of 2008, how we were all told about that old stimulous bill that had to be passed. We were told that it was a necessity to prevent this nation from slipping into a depression, and wre told that the money would go out almost instantly to pay for shovel ready jobs. Well I know I have already beaten that story up in the past, and I don't want to go through that again, however I did think that this story fit in nice with that one.

This is from an article in the New York Times "State workers in Georgia are taking home smaller paychecks. So are the tens of thousands of employees in California’s public university system. The steel company Nucor and the technology giant Hewlett-Packard have embraced the practice. So have several airlines and many small businesses. " ( Louis Uchitelle, October 13, 2009" http://www.nytimes.com/2009/10/14/business/economy/14income.html?scp=1&sq=october%2014%202009&st=cse

This is a matter people should look and examine as well to determine whether or not the stimulous bill is or has been effective. It is also a matter where the media should be getting more involved in before deciding to tell the mass public that the economy is turning around and improving. Unless and until this country gets back on track in relations to those with or without jobs and the pay starts to come back, there can be no true economical improvements.
