The House is expected to vote on President Obama’s $825 billion stimulus Wednesday evening, and the bill is expected to pass.
Obama and House Democrats created the package in the weeks leading up to the inauguration; in the last two weeks, two House committees have amended and modified the provisions for $550 billion in spending and $275 billion in tax cuts.
According to CNNMoney, House Republicans have expressed concern about the large amount of spending in the bill, and have criticized the tax-cut provisions for not going far enough. However, Obama has called for bipartisan cooperation on the bill, and met with House Republican leadership on Tuesday in an attempt to gain their support.
