The landmark economic stimulus package at the core of President Obama's recovery plan passed through both the House and Senate on February 13, and was signed into law by President Obama on February 17. The end result is a slightly leaner, trimmer version of the original House bill, H.R.1, with tax cuts and spending totaling approximately $787 billion, down from nearly the $900 billion proposed by the House.
