WASHINGTON – President Barack Obama signed a $24 billion economic stimulus bill
into law Friday, giving tax incentives to prospective homebuyers and
additional jobless benefits to those idled by the business slump.
The
bill-signing came a day after the House, displaying rare bipartisan
agreement over the troubling employment picture nationally, voted
403-12 to pass the measure. The Senate had approved it unanimously on Wednesday.
