Obama set to sign stimulus bill

President Obama is set to sign into law today in Denver according to the Associated Press


The 787 billion stimulus offers a huge amount of jobs which is needed to boost the economy.

In NY1 they state that the combination of spending programs and tax cuts is not a cure all


but will help turn the economy around this is according to what Obama states.


This was not a bipartism that the President was hoping for only three Republican voted for


the bill.




The signing ceremony will take place in Denver after touring a Solar panel installation project


at the Denver Musuem of Nature and Science. President Obama's decision to be in Denver is


somewhat symbolic in many ways, it is a symbol of the Support the stimulus is getting in states


that are in desperate need of help.New York Times


It is great that this stimulus bill is finally going to become law. Now the question is: How long


before the money is distrubated and which states gets more and which states gets less? This is


where the hard part comes in becuase everybody wants a piece of the pie. It will be interesting


to see how our State will handle the disturation of the stimulus package and when will our state


get the money? Will they really give money to education where it is desperately needed and will


the health care get some money, they also need it as desperately as education. Right now is a


wait and see.
