This iReport is part of an assignment:
Stimulus: Has it helped you? |
Stimulus: Has it helped me?
The billion dollar question. How has President Obama's $787 billion stimulus program affected me or my community? Well as far as the community I don't think we got any stimulus money and if we did I haven't seen it.
Am I seeing a benefit from the additional 25$ in unemployment benefits? Well for me they started giving me 25$ separate from unemployment and after a week they cut my benefit amount by 50$ so the federal government gaveth and the state taketh away.
Am I seeing construction jobs or other stimulus-funded work in my neighbor hood? Hmm nope.
Did stimulus funds save my job? Hmm nope.
What do you think of this story?
