Isn't the Senator aware, and haven't we recently been briefed that we expect in the next 2 calendar years $1 trillion less in spending by the American economy, and the amount we are talking about to try to put back into that accounts for less than half of what we know is lying ahead? If we are going to invigorate the economy, create jobs, and give businesses a chance and give struggling families a chance, $900 billion, though it seems huge on its face, in comparison to the economic crisis we face, is at least proportional to the challenge.
