Selling the Stimulus
The U.S. Senate is expected to approve an $838 billion economic stimulus bill on Tuesday, and President Obama tried to seal the deal with the public Monday night at his first official prime time press conference. We discuss the status of federal economic recovery efforts, including Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner's plan for a "massive overhaul" of the banking bailout.
