Bush meets with small business owners


(NECN: Capitol Hill) - President Bush met with small and medium size business owners at the White House Monday to discuss the economic stimulus package.

He summoned the group of business executives to the White House to help him highlight the investment tax breaks in the stimulus plan he and Congress agreed on.

That plan also includes the tax rebate checks that go into the mail next month.

Bush maintains the stimulus package is all that's needed to right the U.S. economy.
