Obama to warn of long recession if aid package delayed

Obama is trying to get pass a bill that will bring us more into debt.He says that it has to get worse before it gets better. We are now about 10 trillion dollars. He is trying to do this to create more jobs. He says we should spend some money so we could help the econmy. This is done because if you dont' spend money you don't give money to the businesses which if they don't get money they have to lay off jobs. Which increases the inemplyment rating which makes people not want to spend money which repeats the cycle and hurts the economy more.
