Stimulus Bill Overcomes GOP Senate Filibuster

The Collins-Nelson amendment passed 61-37, and the stimulus bill now moves through to conference committee. A committee of House and Senate members (to include Sen. Majority Leader Harry Reid) will seek a bicameral compromise.

Center for American Progress has a great blog explaining why the House version will create more jobs than the Senate version.

ProPublica has a side-by-side comparison of the bills.
