Why stimulus money goes unspent

http://money.cnn.com/2009/05/05/news/economy/spending_stimulus_money/index.htm?postversion=2009050513



This article today talks about why the stimulus money that is given to citizens is not spent. Some of the reasons were that approval has to be made before the money is distributed. Legislatures have to approve the stimulus before making moves with the money. States have alot of money to spend but the process alot of times was reversed. Some of the money is being put in for services like education and social services. The reason for me choosing this article is because we as the common people need to know where the stimulus is going and if the people that really need it are getting it. I do agree with this article because I feel better knowing that our government is comng down with a solution to get our economy off the ground. I feel that this article was presented fairly because now we know what happens through the process of the stimulus checks and who approves of them. Personally Cnn is a great source to find out what we complain of being ignorant about.
