American Recovery and Reinvestment Plan

From the Washington Post: "President Obama pressed aggressively for his massive economic recovery plan yesterday, laying out the most detailed benchmarks to date of a stimulus package that would cost at least $820 billion and warning that the nation's economy could become dramatically worse without major federal investment."

The President discussed the economic recovery plan in his weekly address. The video and transcript have been posted on the White House blog. There is additional information about the plan on the White House economic agenda page.
