Obama says stimulus is 'major milestone on our road to recovery'; GOP's Murkowski says it's not
Saturday, February 14, 2009
President Obama uses his weekly video/radio address to hail the late Friday passage of the $787 billion economic stimulus package that he and his fellow Democrats supported. And he says of the economic challenge the nation faces that:
"America, we will prove equal to this task. It will take time, and it will take effort, but working together, we will turn this crisis into opportunity and emerge from our painful present into a brighter future. After a week spent with the fundamentally decent men and women of this nation, I have never been more certain of that."
Alaska Sen. Lisa Murkowski delivers the weekly Republican address.
She says that:
"Democrats, it seems, settled on a random dollar amount in the neighborhood of $1 trillion and then set out to fill the bucket. Republicans, on the other hand, thought that we should figure out what was at the root of the problem, and then see how much it would cost to fix."
