Economic stimulus bill heads to the White House
After hours of negotiations between the House and Senate, an economic stimulus bill emerged from committee. It is expected to be voted on by the House and Senate this week and signed into law by President Obama on Monday. We are now joined by New York Times writer David Herszenhorn who can provide the details of the plan as well as Jeff Zeleny, also of the New York Times, who can tell us the background of the bill.
