So get this, i am waiting for the bus and as i wait in the trickling rain and breezy sea air, i find myself thinking about the $787 billion STIMULUS Plan that Congress approved and Obama signed today in Denver. (the plan was originally $900, then both the house and congress agreed to the current plan. but it only got 3 Republican support and no Republican support).
This is the breakdown of the plan:
STIMULUS PACKAGE
$240bn in tax breaks for individuals and businesses
$140bn for health care
$100bn for education
$48bn for transportation projects
Mr Obama said: "I don't want to pretend that today marks the end of our economic problems, nor does it constitute all of what we're going to have to do to turn our economy around, but today does mark the beginning of the end."
