NEWS WIRE FISCAL STIMULUS: GOVERNMENT SPENDING Senate Oks Obama Stimulus Package Washington, D. C.-The U. S. Congress gave final approval to President Obama's $787 billion stimulus package yesterday. The $787 billion package is intended to give a boost to the economy, lifting it out of the current recession. At the heart of the package is a half-trillion increase in spending for infrastructure construction, high-speed rail projects, increased unemployment benefits, and scores of other government programs. The package will pump $185 billion into the economy this year and $399 billion next year. Democrats say the plan will save or create 3.5 million jobs. The Senate passed the measure by a vote of 60–38 with the support of three Republicans. Earlier, the House passed the bill by a vote of 246–183 with no Republican support.
