February 08, 2009Schumer Predicts Stimulus Compromise
AP: Sen. Chuck Schumer of New York says there are only minor differences in the House and Senate versions of the economic stimulus package and that Democrats in the House and Senate and the three Republican senators supporting the effort all understand the need for a bill. He says the value of the bill after a compromise is reached would remain around $820 billion.
Alabama Republican Sen. Richard Shelby says he remains opposed to the stimulus measure. Shelby says the economy's biggest need is to straighten out the banking system, and until that's done, the economy is going to continue to struggle.
