Today in Washington President Obama has called for a new round of stimulus spending for our country to help with the staggering economy. This new stimulus funding could total over $150 Billion Dollars to jolt the economy back on track.
These funds are primarily going to go be used for more road construction, new bridges, tax breaks for small businesses, tax breaks for energy efficient home upgrades and a 2010 stimulus check. All of these are aimed at getting money flowing, getting people employed and getting money in the hands of those that need it.
President Obama wants to give an additional $250 to seniors and veterans, similar to the 2009 stimulus check. This check would be handed out in a similar manner to those that received one this year, plus those that weren’t eligible this year that would be for next year’s stimulus check would also receive one.
