Feb. 13 (Bloomberg) -- The U.S. Congress gave final approval to President Barack Obama’s $787 billion economic stimulus package in hopes of wresting the economy out of recession through a mix of tax cuts and federal spending.

The Senate approved the package 60 to 38 with three Republicans joining Democrats in voting “yes.” Earlier today, the House passed the measure 246 to 183 with no Republicans in favor and seven Democrats opposed. The bill, Obama’s first major victory on Capitol Hill, now heads to his desk to be signed into law.

“After all the debate, this legislation can be summed up in one word: Jobs,” said House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, a California Democrat, during today’s floor debate. “The American people need action and they need action now.”

Why does it take till Monday to sign? Can't wait for the spin and photo ops on Monday.

Shouldn't Obama sign it ASAP to get their economy breaking bill started ASAP?

People of the U.S and the world. Get ready for a shock and awe to take away your freedom, jobs and your hard earned money. I say the world because as the U.S. economy crashes, so will the worlds economy.
