Obama: We Need Jobs Stimulus Plan 'Enacted Right Away'

I thought this was the key point of President-elect Obama's economic team announcement this morning:

I want to see it enacted right away. It is going to be of a size and scope that is necessary to get this economy back on track. ... I think the most important thing to recognize is that we have a consensus, which is pretty rare between conservative economists and liberal economists that we need a big stimulus package that will jolt the economy back into shape, and that is focused on the 2.5 million jobs that I intend to create during the first part of my administration. We have to put people back to work.
