Why do people think that they can make money with government grants? Barack Obama is now the President and it seems like people voted for him because they though he was going to give them money. This is silly if you think about it although Democrats do have a habit of giving out a lot of our taxpayer’s money. The stimulus bill is giving away lots of money to corporations and trying to keep them afloat but he is not giving out money via the grant system. People are desperate right now and they are hoping to get money any way they can.

The amount of the stimulus bill is staggering and we have all hear reports of the numbers on television and radio. This has undoubtedly led people to think that they can get some of it and they are keen to find out how. They might not care that all that money is coming directly from our taxes and the taxes of future generations. It will be our kids and grandkids that have to pay for much of the trouble that we have gotten ourselves into.

It is kind of sad that there are so many misguided people who think that they can profit from Obama’s presidency and the government. The government is there to help with certain things and keep order but it is not there to take things from one group of people and give them to another group.

There are indeed some people that will get government assistance in many different ways but no one is going to directly get free money out of this. Unless Obama decides to cut all lower income families a stimulus check, there will be no handouts. The chance of that happening though, is slim as there just isn’t enough money to go around.

People do need help but the stimulus bill is mostly going to help businesses and organizations. The individual who is out of work might possibly benefit by being able to get some sort of job that results from this bill but that might be the only way. Applying for a government grant will be just as tedious as always and not too many are handed out to individual people. No matter what your situation is, the stimulus package is not going to make your life any better in the short run.
