We're going to have a stimulus bill...probably.
The bill made it out of the Senate today--this article talks about some of the big differences between the Senate and the House versions. Remember, the House is more extreme and the Senate has to appease more Republicans so the bill isn't filibustered. So why is the Senate bill more expensive?

According to this article, the Senate just barely passed a revised stimulus plan. This plan will cost a bit more than the original one that was proposed by the House. This is mainly because it will be taking in less tax revenue.
However, this revised bill will also give less money to state governments. I think it will make getting out of the recession harder, especially for a state like California. Many of the states are in debit and I don't think that this plan will give the states enough money. I would really like to know where most of the money from this plan is going because it is a lot, a lot of money and, with respect to that, the states aren't really getting all that much of it.
