Yesterday the Senate had a test vote to get an idea as to how the vote would go today to pass the massive stimulus bill that is supposed to help save the economy.

The measure passed in the test vote with 61 yeses, one more than the necessary 60 to go on to the House.

President Obama was on primetime TV last night trying to get support from U.S. citizens for the stimulus bill saying that the recession now is not an ordinary every day recession, but the worst since the Great Depression.

If the $838 billion measure passes, it could be on Obama’s desk by February 16th.

Many are weary about such a large bill because the last time we were told to act fast it was the bank bailout bill and that went horribly with little oversight and little idea about where our money was going. Hopefully, if this bill passes we will actually see some progress.
