1. Without the stimulus, i believe things would not have gotten any better. The stimulus bill is going to change the country for the better. It may take a while, but i believe it will. The bill is going to create more jobs by going green.

2. Obama has spent $787 billion on this bill, but it has saved and created 3 million jobs. It is helping the environment out too, which is a plus. Obama believes it is a good thing. The Republicans believe it is just wasting money.

3. I believe the Stimulus Bill is a good thing for America because it is creating and saving jobs. It may be wasting money, but in the long run it is for the better.

3) Explain your opinion on the issue.  Be sure to back up your points with logic and fact (from the article or elsewhere.)

Grade: 7/9.  I need more specifics about the bill.
