My Reaction:

The economy crisis has influenced all over the world including Taiwan. Because of the low prosperity, the government decides to disturb NT$3,600 shopping vouchers to each of the nation citizens early next year. Now, there are many different opinions about the government’s new policy. Some people agree the policy because they think it will be a good way to spur the consumption. However, the others boycott it for they think the government should give people tax rebates or cash instead of wasting money to printing the coupons.

In my perspective, I think the Ma government is trying to save our economy but I disagree with using this way. First, where the money come from? Actually, the government’s money is ours because we pay the tax and they have money to do things for us. Second, we have to spend more money to print the shopping vouchers.
In other words, I admire the spirit that they want to improve our situation positively, but I think the policy is implemented hastily without deliberate consideration.

Maybe they can use the way to distribute the coupons that can discount the price. Thus, people will use the money in their pocket and it will definitely spur the low prosperity. However, the government’s policy will not stop and my advice is useless for them. In summary, it will be nice to me or other university students to have extra money without earning by ourselves. It seems the special “red envelop” gave from the government. (247words)
