In economic news today...

rivkaAt a press conference in Washington today, President-elect Barack Obama repeatedly refused to answer questions about the size of his package, calling the subject "a personal matter."
Again and again, reporters attempted to get Mr. Obama to tell them exactly how big his package was, but the President-elect was steadfast in his refusal to quantify it.
"If I tell you the size of my package, some of you will think that it sounds too small, " he said. "And others will be uncomfortable with how big it is."
The President-elect seemed to indicate, however, that the size of his package may vary according to the circumstances.
"Depending on what is going on, my package could grow significantly larger," he said. "It all comes down to the amount of stimulus."
