On the recordFebruary 10, 2009
Right. We need to pass the stimulus. The other thing the economists tell us, and they are absolutely right, we know that, besides--the first thing they tell us is, It's got to be big enough to make a difference. The second thing they tell us is, It's got to be done quickly. So we really have to come to agreement this week and get on with taking care of the recovery that people need in this country. We need to be making people first, we need to have people in need--we need to help them. We need to create jobs, we need to spur innovation, and this economy can and must get back on track.
