NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) – The congressional battle over President Barack Obama's unprecedented and far-reaching plan to spend $550 billion to jolt the economy will begin in earnest on Wednesday.
The House Appropriations Committee will meet to consider the spending portion of the House Democrats' $825 billion economic recovery proposal. The meeting will be the first time House Republicans will get to formally weigh in with their concerns about - and changes to - the legislation.
The hearing marks a crucial step in what is likely to be a compressed debate over what is one of the most complex and expensive spending plans ever introduced.
