Anonymous said...: 1. What is the status of President Barack Obama's economic stimulus bill? What is the next step for the stimulus bill?

* President Obama's stimulus bill is one step closer to becoming a law. The next step for the stimulus bill is to situate the different versions of the bill because the House passed its own version.

2. According to the program, how have Senate Republican leaders reacted to the stimulus package?

* Senate Republicans are not please with the bill. They believed the proposed amount is too large and that it will not work.

3. In your opinion, will the House and Senate be able to reach a compromise on the stimulus bill by President Obama's stated deadline? Why or why not?

* I do think the House and Senate will reach a compromise on the stimulus bill by President Obama's deadline. I think both houses understand that we need this bill and that the more time they spend negotiating it the worse the economy will get. I say they will reach a compromise so the bill will quickly go into effect and help those who need it.

4. According to the report, what concerns have some lawmakers raised about the possible, long-term impact of the economic stimulus bill?

* Senator Byron Dorgn wants the government to show how every penny of the bill is being spent. He believes that this provision is necessary because no one knows exactly the right amount of medicine the economy needs to get better. I do agree with the senator because America is investing a lot of money into this bill to help people and it would be pointless if the money went to waste.

7. What happened to the Dow Jones Industrial Average yesterday? According to some experts, what might have contributed to the Dow's move?

* The Dow Jones lost 382 points yesterday. Experts believe that the negative reaction from investors about a government plan to help banks contributed to the Dow's move.

8. Why did Dr. Carter G. Woodson select February for the event that would eventually become Black History Month?

* Dr. Carter G. Woodon chose February for the event that would eventually become black history month because two amazing people who had a great influence in black history were born in that month: Frederick Douglass and Abraham Lincoln.

9. Who are some of the notable African-American performers highlighted in today's program? What are some of their unique achievements?
