President Obama’s stimulus plan has cleared it’s first hurdle, with it’s passage in the House. However, it was nowhere near a bipartisan victory. The victory in the House is primarily attributable to a Democratic majority. And what’s more is that eleven Democrats actually voted against the $819 billion package.
As the bill prepares to be evaluated by the Senate, it’s fate is still not certain. Perhaps the bill with pass with some modification or with the addition of raised taxes, but regardless, the bail out is still only a proposal at this point. The Senate will vote on it’s version next week. Whatever the outcome, and whatever version is ultimately produced, it cannot be argued that the economy needs some kind of stimulus.

What’s topping the agenda for the President-elect? According to the Obama camp, it’s the economy, with the turmoil in the Mideast trailing closely behind. During his first full day in office, Obama is planning to meet with his top economic advisers. The goal is to map out a strategy for getting Congress to pass his stimulus plan–a stimulus plan that has now reached the dollar amount of $825 billion.
Despite Obama’s intention of getting his stimulus plan in action as quickly as possible, he has been reticent to promise major change in the economic situation any time in the near future. He has expressed his intentions to make an economic speech to a joint session of Congress to communicate that even if his economic recovery plan is passed into law during the first 100 days of his term, the financial crisis will likely continue for a long period of time. However, the one upside to the situation is that there appears to be worldwide consensus that the correct step to take in this situation is the one that Obama is pushing Congress to accept.
We need to be bailed out—and I mean literally!
The $825 billion bailout that Obama is sponsoring is expected to create three to four million new jobs. While that is a reassuring estimate, the problem remains—What can we do in the mean time?
