Housing Stimulus

April 3, 2008 - by Donny Shaw

The Senate’s new, bipartisan housing stimulus package is a major piece of legislation, but it isn’t a bill per se. During the debate, it will be in the form of an amendment to a House-passed energy bill. But that doesn’t mean it has no home on OpenCongress. We’ve created an OpenCongress bill page for the housing package where you can learn the details of the proposal, check out what’s being said about it in the news and blogs and leave your thoughts in the comments section.

We’ll be manually posting relevant news articles and blog posts to the page, but we won’t be able to get them all. If you find an article about the housing package that we don’t have, post a link to it in the comments.

    Where is the 50 billion dollar bill thing? I tried forums and it's closed. there is a 50 billion dollar AIDS bill going to Africa and it can't be found here. When you type in AIDs you get aid.
