Congress is preparing a second economic stimulus package as the initial $787 billion failed to curb unemployment. Proposed measures include extending unemployment benefits by 13-14 weeks, COBRA subsidies, and a $4,000 tax credit for new hires proposed by Arlen Specter. The hosts analyze the potential for businesses to exploit the hiring credits and express concern over the nation's "bust" financial status.
