Today you were supposed to look at a bill currently in Congress and analyze it. The questions for analyzing are in the make up tray.
The bill we analyzed was H.R 7110 about economic stimulus and job creation. This is an appropriations bill and remember appropriations is a fancy word for government spending. Appropriations bills are the only kind of bill that must start in the house of representatives. Any other kind of bill can begin in either.
Here are some resources for researching the bill:
