The main argument is that Congress is going about creating jobs the wrong way. The job market is only getting worse as the year goes on. Congress should be helping small businesses instead of bailing out huge bank companies.

The supporting evidence states that we are at the worst job market in the last seventy years. The current stimulus package is working but not to a great enough extent. Before the current stimulus we were losing half million jobs a month now we are losing a quarter of a million. Reserve chairman Greenspan, was mentioned top have made a cataclysmic error and that everything he says from here on out would be considered wrong. This is a classic form of using slippery slope technique to convince your audience. The author also refers to the people on Wall Street as cheerleaders that love to shout about their ever-optimistic imaginations. The author is using the over generalization technique and Ad hominem.

The desired response the author wants to get out of this article is four alternative e options. He proposes a stimulus package for public health and transportation. This would help the average person. His next idea is to give a tax holiday for the first twenty thousand dollars of income. His third idea is to give small businesses a “new job tax credit” for every job the business creates it gets a tax credit. The last idea he has is to extend the lending program for small businesses. Those are his four ideas that he believes will help stimulate the economy.
