Ladywriter 7,783 Report post Posted February 10, 2009 Democratic leaders vow to deliver legislation to president within days President Barack Obama's economic recovery plan has passed the Senate and is on its way to difficult House-Senate negotiations. Just three Republicans helped pass the plan on a 61-37 vote and they're already signaling they'll play hardball to preserve more than $108 billion in spending cuts made last week in Senate dealmaking. Obama wants to restore cuts in funds for school construction jobs and help for cash-starved states. Those cuts are among the major differences between the $819 billion House version of Obama's plan and a Senate bill costing $838 billion. Obama has warned of a deepening economic crisis if Congress fails to act. He wants a bill completed by the weekend. Anybody else twitchin? Seriously tho its bad and we need the cash. There's stuff in there we've been needing for a hella (8 years or more) long time. I know NY is bummin hard for money and this will help. Schools and infrastructure, connecting the country and educating people; its all an investment in the now and for the future. Look at the flowers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
