The author contends that the economic stimulus bill signed by U.S. President Barack Obama falls short of what the country needs to deal with recession. He expects that Obama will request additional funds from Congress to lift the economy. He explains that the manner by which the Congress approved the stimulus bill is unsual in that it the bill's details wereve never examined and legislators did not seem to have read the bill at all. He says that thought the stimulus bill is lacking it is good and can be expected to help the economy.
