Is the stimulus package a good or bad idea for U.S. business?

Our organization believes that many of the programs included in the stimulus package represent good development programs for U.S. businesses and non-profits. One specific fact that we like is the development of broadband lines and the computerization of healthcare data. Not only will this develop new high paying jobs, but it will lower costs and make U.S. businesses and non-profits more competitive. Currently many businesses do not qualify for cable broadband and are unable to afford to have dedicated T1 or T3 lines installed due to their high cost. Dedicated T1 and T3 lines can cost between $400-$600 per month which is simply too much for a small business to pay.

We believe, that developing our broadband network will improve the U.S. overall competitiveness and lower small business and non-profit costs. This is a great investment for the future. Some of the criticism of the stimulus package are warranted as well as some of those programs are not very stimulative and are a true waste of money. As it is normal with politicians they will always try to push their limits and include certain projects that might be worthy but should not be included to further drown the U.S. population into debt.

Please let us know how the current economic crises is impacting your business and non-profit organization? What your thoughts are about the current government actions? Is the stimulus package a good idea? We look forward to hearing from you.
