Yesterday the House and Senate passed the Recovery bill, and President Obama will sign it on Monday.
All kinds of dire comments have been made about it not being enough, it costing too much, not enough tax cuts...and the Republicans, who support it, didn't vote for it because they're more interested in winning elections than in doing what might help the country.
While there probably isn't enough spending in the bill, at least something will get done. And no doubt this is just the beginning. There is a lot of time to make up, after years of inaction. But at least with this in place, the president can turn his attention, at least for now, to foreign policy (where Secretary Clinton is ably restoring the standing of the United States in the world), especially Iraq and Afghanistan.
