House voted Yea on Obama's plan See how your Rep voted
The House has voted for a $3.6 trillion plan that includes a deficit of $1.2 trillion and more for the future.
See how your State Reps voted at http://www.postbulletin.com/newsmanager/templates/localnews_story.asp?z=16&a=392597
Quote:
Congressional Democrats overwhelmingly embraced President Obama's ambitious and expensive agenda for the nation yesterday, endorsing a $3.5 trillion spending plan that sets the stage for the president to pursue his most far-reaching priorities.
Senate leaders predicted late yesterday that their version of the budget blueprint would win approval by midnight.
In the House, fiscal conservatives fell in line behind the plan, even though it would generate a deficit of more than $1.2 trillion next year and produce large annual deficits well into the future

Fox Alert just said the Senate approved a, I think they said, $3.3 trillion plan.
Update: It was $3.5 trillion http://www.foxnews.com/politics/firs...get-blueprint/

My D rep voted NO! He's been one of the good ones on the stimulus bill, still has a brain and doesn't vote just along party lines.
