A few points from the article:
- The $787 billion economic-stimulus package
- The government-led rescue of General Motors Corp.
- Climate-change legislation
- Snafus in the federal "cash for clunkers" program -- which gave people rebates to trade in gas-guzzling cars for more fuel-efficient new vehicles -- highlighted how disorganization can hamper government plans
- It was the bloodiest month for U.S. troops so far in the war in Afghanistan
- Attorney General Eric Holder poked a potential hornets' nest by appointing a prosecutor to investigate Central Intelligence Agency interrogators
- White House budget forecasters said they now project $9 trillion of additional federal debt over the next decade, adding $2 trillion to an earlier estimate
- The White House predicted an 8.5% unemployment max if we passed the stimulus, it will hit 10%+
