U.S. Sens. Robert C. Byrd and Jay Rockefeller of West Virginia joined their fellow Democrats in voting to pass the Senate's version of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009.
Three Republicans joined the majority in the 61-37 roll call on the $838 billion bill. With no time to celebrate, "the White House plunged into compromise talks with congressional leaders on a final version," The Associated Press reports.

Actually, they voted against me. We'll all pay by dragging out the recession as wasteful government spending crowds out private financing plus our children and grand children will be stuck with the bill. Obama sees himself as FDR, but FDR just drug out the depression until a war pulled us out. We should have learned our lesson then.
