President-elect Barack Obama said Saturday that he had started work on a sustained, two-year economic stimulus plan designed to create or save 2.5 million jobs, funnel money toward public works programs to repair the country’s failing infrastructure and invest in alternative energy programs.
Mr. Obama’s plan, which he announced in the Democratic radio address, is broader than the pledges he offered while campaigning for president. He said the deepening financial outlook demanded more robust action, so he directed his economic team to devise “a plan big enough to meet the challenges we face that I intend to sign soon after taking office.”
Let's hope for the best because the situation is truly dire.
I can hardly stand to look at anything on any site because the news is so depressing. That's one reason why I haven't done much posting since the election, which is reflected in my stats. Another is I am busy with other things, including trying to get caught up on the DVDs.
