Book description
The United States confronts its greatest economic crisis since the
1930s. President Obama has taken quick and decisive action to enact an
economic stimulus package strong enough to address problems of historic
proportions. What does this new package mean for American families,
businesses, investors, and taxpayers?
The Audacity of Help unrolls the blueprints and offers insights
on how the economic stimulus package-as passed by Congress and signed
into law by President Obama-will affect healthcare, education, the
environment, energy, taxes, and more. The book includes analysis of
sectors and industries that will benefit, as well as those that will
not. Wasik's conclusions are firmly grounded in a comprehensive and
enlightening evaluation of the final economic package passed into law.
Extensive study and interviews with experts from each economic sector
support his analysis.
