De amerikanska tidningarna är fulla med kommentarer om räddningspaketet nu på morgonen.

Wall Street Journal har följande översikt:.

John Nichols i The Nation skriver så här:

While there is more money for ailing state governments — which also put people to work — the allocation has been slashed to $35 billion less than had been proposed by the House.

Some school construction money has been restored, but the latest version of the bill lacks $16 billion that had been proposed for that purpose.

Additionally, according to the New York Times, it “sharply curtailed health care subsidies for the unemployed.”

The frankest assessment of the measure as it now stands comes from Iowa Senator Tom Harkin, who says: “I am not happy with it. … they took a lot of stuff out of education. They took it out of health, school construction and they put it more into tax issues.”
