Democratic governors want $1 trillion stimulus
A group of Democratic governors is asking the federal government for a stimulus totaling $1 trillion over the next two years. The request includes $350 billion for infrastructure improvements. "The idea is to put people to work and to put them to work in ways that build on a stronger, long-term economic platform for future growth," said Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick, who is part of the group lobbying Congress.
