    Every day, the news brings us more stories about the recession and how the government intends to fix it. But do you feel like you understand it? What is the stimulus package really, and how is it supposed to work -- both nationally and here at home?

    We might not be able to explain it all, but we're going to take a pretty good stab at it . . . and enjoy a beer in the process.

    Join moderator Steve Seel (DJ from 89.3 The Current), Tom Weber (MPR News reporter), and Glenn Dorfman (former housing lobbyist and current consultant on economic analysis and public affairs).
