Where are the bills concerning the economy?

Today began with an early appeal to Congress by President Normandin. In an address to the House of Representatives, the president voiced his concern for a lack of economic legislation.

"I would just like to remind you all that we are living in a time of great economic uncertainty. Unemployment hovers near 9% and government debt is at a record high. Many of the bills I receive seem to not be paying attention to this."

As Congress continues to meet and discuss the various bills proposed, will we see any major attempts to correct our current economic state?

President Normandin seems most concerned with the extravagant spending proposed by some, and says he will "not hesitate to exercise [his] veto power." With the current state of our economy still concerning many, only time will tell if Congress makes this issue a top priority.
