Obama trying to create jobs

In an article in the New York Times,http://www.nytimes.com/2009/02/08/us/politics/08address.html
Obama urged Congress to resolve their differences in the economic recovery measure and "put this plan into motion" so that it can bring some relief and create jobs.

Even though the Democrats and Republicans came together in the Senate, there seems to be
sharp differences and the White House is working to bridge the gap so that legislation can be
ready for President Obama to sign in the next few days.

In his address he states that two states who would benefit from this package one is Maine and the others Indiana. In these specifics states it would save or create 3 million jobs with the next two years.In Maine, 16,000 jobs would be created or saved. In Indiana 80,000, "almost all of them in the private sector."

President Obama is scheduled to vist Florida on Tuesday, 485 schools would be upgraded which
will create hordes of jobs. In Ohio, he states that 4.5 million wokers would receive tax relief of up to
$1,000.

Also in the New York Times http://www.nytimes.com/2009/02/06/us06cops.html?_=1&ref=politics
there is an article about hiring more police which is also President's Obama's economic plan which
totals $1 billion for local government's to hire police officers.

Senator Patrick J. Leahy, Vermont's Democrat who is the Chairman of the Judiciary Committee says that the money to hire police officers is an appropriate part of the stimulus bill because it would help the economy.

Mr. Leahy goes on to state that in hiring police, nearly 100 percent of the money goes into creating
jobs.

If this is just part of what's in the stimulus package, then why can't Democrats and Republicans stop
bickering. The whole purpose of the stimulus package is to create jobs and get the economy going

Let's take a breakdown of the stimulus package thus far:

1) You have Maine, where 16,000 jobs will be either saved or created.
2) In Indiana 80,00 jobs will be created mostly in the private sector
3) In Florida, you have 485 shcools that will be upgraded, creating jobs
4) Finally, you have $1 billion going to hire police officers

So far, this seems to be a start to getting the American people back to work and bringing down the
unemployment rate. So Democrats and Republicans let's stop the bickering and get this stimulus
package moving
