A Great and Easy Way to Compare the House and Senate Stimulus Bills

For those who want to dig into the differences between the House and Senate stimulus bills, ProPublica has produced this great side-by-side chart.
Yesterday, House Democrats said they are going to dig in and fight to restore the worst cuts in the Senate bill. Today, the Wall Street Journal reports that the White House is also going to try to restore some of the cuts (specifically to education), although AP has a contradictory report saying the White House is "resigned" to the cuts.
Clearly, this is all a moving target - so the more noise we can make the better the stimulus bill will be in the end. Call your member of Congress and let them know you want them to restore the cuts.
