Obama Offers Highlights of His Economic Stimulus Plan

By Michael D. Shear
President-elect Barack Obama today proposed an economic recovery act that spends billions of dollars to make public buildings energy-efficient, to rebuild the nation's crumbling highways, to renovate aging school buildings, to extend high-speed Internet to underserved areas and to modernize hospitals.

Obama's plan, announced in the weekly Democratic radio address and online video, came with no price tag and few details.

Nevertheless, it was the first glimpse of the government spending spree that Obama envisions to lift the country out of an economic recession that has already cost millions of jobs -- 533,000 of them in November alone.
