Tentative Stimulus Deal Reached

It seems like the price tag might be more palatable for Americans as well.

At $780 billion, the legislation would be smaller than the measure that cleared the House on a party-line vote last week. It also would mean a sharp cut from the bill that has been the subject of Senate debate for a week. That measure stood at $937 billion.

At $780 billion it is about the same size as the TARP so that Trillion dollar figure won't be thrown around as much. Now I just need to see the bill in order to pass judgment on the thing. There better be tax cuts for me and no freebies for liberal fat cats or I will not be happy.
