Washingtonpost.com

The Senate today passed an economic stimulus bill that President Obama and congressional Democrats called crucial to pull the U.S. economy out of its downward spiral but that drew scant support from Republicans...Obama, speaking a day after a similar appearance in Elkhart, Ind., said the stimulus plan "will save or create up to 4 million jobs over the next two years, ignite spending by business and consumers alike and make the investments necessary for lasting economic growth and prosperity."
He said the package "includes $1,000 of badly needed tax relief for middle-class workers and families," as well as "a partially refundable $2,500-per-student tax credit" to help families send their children to college.
"Most importantly," Obama said, "this plan will put people to work right now by making direct investments in areas like health care, energy, education and infrastructure -- investments that save jobs, create new jobs and new businesses and help our economy grow again."
