Pelosi Slows Down Talk Of Second Stimulus
After sparking an outburst of conversation Tuesday when she admitted the possible necessity of a second economic stimulus package, Speaker Nancy Pelosi pulled back some today during her weekly press conference.
"I really would like to focus on the first one," Pelosi said, when asked about a second stimulus. "I know that people have made suggestions that we should be ready to do something, but I really would like to see this stimulus package play out. I think it's important that the American people and the Congress of the United States have confidence in the recovery package that we have passed."
Pelosi discussed the subject later in the press conference as well. "We've done a big package, several hundred billion dollars, which I never thought I would see the day that we would have a package that big," she said. "We've done that. Let's see how that works."
