ABOARD AIR FORCE ONE (AP) - The White House says President Bush
is open to the idea of a second government stimulus to further
boost the U.S. economy amid the financial crisis.
Press secretary Dana Perino told reporters on Air Force One as
the president flew to Louisiana on Monday for an economic event
that the White House will have to see what kind of package Congress
crafts. Perino says the administration has concerns that what has
been put forward so far by Democratic leaders in Congress would not
actually stimulate the economy.
Earlier in the day, Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke gave
the same message to Congress. It was the first time that Bernanke
endorsed a second stimulus for the economy, which he says will be
weak for several quarters.
