I have always been for the Stimulus Bill.... Therefore I am impressed with how the money is being used and the percentage being given to each group or category they have listed in the article! I really do hope this Bill goes well and helps our economy out a great deal!

I believe that the Stimulus Bill will help out a lot of people. It creates provisions for education, healthcare, the unemployed, and the restoration and improvement of national infrastructure. Hopefully, it will also counter the recession. The downside to this is what it will add to an already astronomical national debt. Like it or not, taxpayers (i.e. us) will have to repay it.

The Stimulus Bill Is A Great Idea. It Will Help Plenty Of Americans, Especially Those Who Are In Need. The Stimulus Bill Provides Education, HealthCare, & The Unemployed & Many Other Things. Even Though This May Cause A Little Bit More Of Financial Debt I Believe We Will Be Able To Recover From It.

I am in favor of this bill. I especially like how it said it can help families with paying for their children to go to college and help purchase a new car. College isn't far off, so it's reassuring that we might get some financial aid.

The stimulus bill definitely has it's positives and negatives. In some ways I am for this bill, and in others I am against it. This bill will help families who are struggling to get by, this bill will also help with education. College is becoming a major thought in my head and I have started wondering how exactly it will be paid for, but this bill promises to help that. On the negative side though, this bill will just add to the national debt. Taxpayers will have to pay this money back, which I believe will just come back to hit us in the face.

The stimulus seems great on the outside. But I think it lacks the power to have any kind of long term benefits. While it may very well lessen the short term effects of the recession, especially on lower and middle class families, it seems like there isn't a long term plan on how to handle the problems that face us. Definitely not a "New Deal". It would be great to see more invested in alternate energy and education which are the future of our country.

my sister acually bought her first home just days ago, and the bill got approved just in time so she gets the "first time home buyer" tax cut which is helping her alot. Also all the money seems to be going to fix things i am glad to see the money that is gonna help familes pay for colleges hopefully it will be in place and working before i have to go.

The stimulus bill to me is a good idea. This bill will help out alot of people by giving money for families to buy new homes or money for us to go to college. I think that we will all be surprised of how well this bill actually works. Not only does this bill help out families, its helps with the economic downfall we are going through.

I agree that the bill is good for us. People that needs help with money issues, the bill will help them get out of dept and pay off loans. I plan to go to college and the bill will help out alot just incase i dont go for sports

The stimulus bill seems to be a good idea. Through some research and reading i have found out that even though it is a good idea it is being approached badly. The amount of pork in this bill is out of control.

I believe that the Stimulus Bill is a awsome bill. IT will help a lot of people out that needs money, and hopefully it will help our economy.

I think the Stimulus Bill is a good idea. It puts money back into the American peoples pockets which helps them buy a new house, car or could pay for college. I believe this bill will do a lot of good for the economy.

I think the stimulus is an imperfect solution to our current situation and only time will tell how much of a solution it really was, but it's nice to know there is an effort to ease the burden on the middle and lower class families while making a real effort to create jobs.
