Pelosi Quick And Lean Stimulus Plan

Pelosi stood in front of cameras today, one day after the presidents State of the Union, stating that the Congress has launched the Stimulus plan quickly and kept it lean. It is reported to be a $146 billion dollar, keeping within the guidelines. It is expected to boost the economy, lifting it from the slump. Pelosi stated that it is now up to the Senate to keep the stimulus aid package lean and sent it off quickly for the president's approval. She is concern that adding items to the plan can stop a recovery for the economy. "It's important that this bill not get overloaded."

Already in the Senate, however, there is talk that there are some who do want to put a few changes into it, adding that it is very unlikely that it will be decided upon quickly in the Senate. Reid stated that he expected some Democrats and Republicans alike to want to make it better.
