Stimulus bill approaching one trillion dollars

[30ashopper]

For some reason, despite efforts by Reps and Dems to pair this thing down, I read today that the current senate bill is close to 950 billion? Has anybody heard any specific numbers as the debate continues? I believe this is headed for a vote (sans the public's opportunity to look it over) by monday, with a signing on wednesday.

Amid stunning new job losses and yet another bank failure, key senators and the White House reached tentative agreement Friday night on an economic stimulus measure at the heart of President Barack Obama's recovery plan. Two officials said the emerging agreement was for a bill with a $780 billion price tag, but there was no immediate confirmation.

Hmm...everything is going above my head today.

I admit it, I am lost.

Did you get the M-16 guess?

I heard that too, but apparently they have another 40 billion that's still scheduled to get tacked on after that? so 930 billion? :shock:

I just can't believe we're all so casual about numbers like this...

$930,000,000,000.00

especially since it's our money. I think that's about 2/3'rds of what the federal government takes in in a year, including entitlement taxes.

Okay, got it. Did not see that it was a link due to colorblindness, lol.

That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

Hmm...wonder if that is why Sweetwater has a 420 beer?

Besides all that, my time stamp says 5:20.
