Impossible to Escape

The stimulus package originally was made to support or rebuild the economy in recession by the revenue created from taxes of income, back to the tax payer in hopes that the tax payer would spend it, so that it would stimulate the economy out of the "recession." The United States' national debt is rising and it was last recorded on March 15, 2009 a national debt of 10.99 trillion dollars. Ever since September 28, 2008, our national debt continues to increase at an average of 3.72 billion dollars per day. How will the U.S. ever pay back the debt if it continues to rise and if our per day collected taxes can not even match up the the national debt per day? On March 12, 2009, as President Obama stated at the Recovery Act Implementation Conference, "money is being spent as it needs to be spent -- to rebuild our roads and our bridges and our schools, and making sure that we are putting in place the kinds of infrastructure foundations that are necessary for economic growth over the long term" if President Obama is going to spend it on that, when will we ever pay back the national debt? Generation after generation, the United States will be in the same situation; the national debt is going to rise and the people of the United States will still be paying large amount taxes. In my point of view, as President Obama worded, the "recovery" package isn't going to do any good because all President Obama gave us it the hope and his saying at the Recovery Act Implementation Conference, "I think you're up to the task; I think you guys will do extraordinary work with using these precious tax dollars that the American people have given up in order to deliver on the kind of economic growth" but no action has been taken.
