The New York Times reports that Democratic and Republicans Senators have agreed on a $780 billion stimulus package after getting the sobering news about unemployment rates.

If it is approved, then there will have to be a reconciling between the Senate version and the House version, which vary greatly. President Obama had stated that he hopes this can all be done in time for him to sign the measure within ten days. That would be good news indeed.
