The Politics of Your Money

What is the best way to spend tax dollars to bolster the economy? Should they be spent at all? If your life depended on it could you answer the following question: Did the last stimulus package work? The Washington Post has a provocative editorial today (Why You Care is not necessarily agreeing/disagreeing with their argument) due to the issues they bring up on what Congress is thinking about doing next when it comes to the economy.

Here's why you care: If your tax dollars are going to be used, don't you want to know that the "how" and "when" is executed without politics and with the greatest hope of success? We hope the Washington Post keeps these questions hot on their editorial page and that you reward them with a few minutes of your time. Why You Care thinks the political conventions are upon us, and the details outlined in the editorial may get painted over in the broad brush strokes of political speeches.
