Senate Democrats pass economic stimulus bill with help of three Republicans [video]

The United States Senate passed an economic stimulus package on Tuesday by a vote of 61 to 37. That means only three Republicans voted for the bill.

The Senate's $838 billion economic stimulus bill is a bit different than the $819 billion version that passed the house.

Over the next week, Senate and House leaders will try and hash out the difference so they can present a joint stimulus package bill to President Barack Obama to sign.

The president has agreed that neither of the stimulus bills are perfect, but he says something must be done.
