Whew, We Have A Stimulus Bill

I've only read the first AP version and there's some discussion that state and local assistance cuts in the Senate compromise were restored, as well as unemployment benefits and Medicad for unemployed and some school construction at the expense of the one-time only tax rebate, which got cut in half, and the tax credit to homebuyers.
The original Senate version also cut the equivalent of between 440,000 and 340,000 jobs including 7,000 to 9,000 in Washington, my state.
But Harry Reid said a lot of that's fixed. If you hear anybody say there's no proof of any jobs in the stimulus, tell 'em you've got the numbers right here.
