Congress, Obama focus on economy

Jan 6 - An economic stimulus plan of about $775 billion is the first of business for the House and Senate and something U.S. financial markets have already priced in.

While passage of the stimulus plan is expected to happen within a matter of weeks after Barack Obama assumes the presidency, it may take far longer for the jobs to materialize in sufficient numbers to restore consumer confidence and spending, which is the foundation of the U.S. economy.
