WALLACE: If you hear some Democrats talk about a stimulus package — infrastructure, you know, a variety — unemployment relief, a variety — even a bailout to the auto companies. Are you going to "Christmas tree" this bill?
SCHUMER: No, we will not "Christmas tree" this bill. The times are too urgent. Everyone has their own desires and needs. It's going to have to wait.
Now, as for a stimulus package, I think that is — the economy is sinking. Unemployment, 6.1 percent. Many of us believe we need a stimulus package. Many of us believe this is the appropriate time to do it before Congress adjourns. We can't wait three months.
WALLACE: As part of the bailout?
SCHUMER: But it doesn't necessarily have to be part of the bailout. That's something that's being decided right now.
And I think our leaders both in the House and Senate are coming to the conclusion it should be alongside the bailout, but not part of it.
WALLACE: Senator Kyle, can you live with the kind of add-ons that Senator Schumer is talking about?
KYL: Well, first of all, I think that he is correct to say that these things should not be added on to this particular bill.
