The House of Representatives on Friday passed the $787.2 billion stimulus package with a vote of 246-183, reports Deborah Tedford in an article at npr.org. The bill was voted against by all House Republicans, and seven Democrats. House GOP Leader John Boehner argued that the stimulus plan “falls woefully short,” and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, of course, supports the plan. In addition to merely relaying the event, Tedford describes some of the ways the stimulus money will be spent. I would recommend it for the article itself, which is interesting, and also for the access it provides to more detailed information for those who are interested. It includes the link to a more comprehensive chart of the proposed spending, and a link to the House Rules Committee website.
